The ball struck him about two inches to the left of and on a level with the right nipple passing through the breast and making its exit about three inches to the right of the nipple. It is only a flesh wound He is comfortable and has all the care that he requires. We have no idea who it was that made the attack it being so dark that he could not tell whether it was a white or a colored
Transcription Notes:
