862 September 15 Fredericksburg, Va.

[from the diary of Dr. Brodie Strachan Herndon]

15th  Jim assists me in the removal
of a cancerous breast.  He is a good
Surgeon--.  After breakfast takes his
departure in the sulky: girls lending
pony.  All hands see him off &
wish him abundance of good luck.
Little Mary says nobody but Jim
should have  her pet.

MSS 2563-b
