Gonley sends the certificate Henry requires and though he recollects he saw Henry's wound of the temple, he may have made a mistake about the fingers which may have been the third and fourth. If so Henry is to return the certificate corrected and Gonley will write another. He is glad to learn Henry's boy is better. If Henry knows the precise date of the operation, he is to give it also. The certificate dated May 30, 1878 Gonley certifies that in 1862, at the battle of Malvern Hill, Virginia, he examined Lieutenant Henry F. Brownson, U.S. Army, who was disabled by a gunshot wound just received in the temporal region, and that in 1863, on account of a gunshot wound of his right hand, Gonley performed resection of a portion of the second and third metacarpal bones, in consequence of which loss of substance, the functions of the hands are impaired. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
