Black Mt. N. C.

Mr. Sam W. Walker
     Waycross, Ga.


My Dear Sam:
I have just seen the paper and my how I sympathize with
you and I hope you are not hurt as bad as the paper
states.

I have surely been building big hopes on the nice hunts
we were to have this winter.  I have a dog now borrowed
for the winter that took second place in the Virginia
Carolina runs and I was going to show you a surprise and
will yet, for if you do loose your right eye, which I do
hope and pray you wont, you will have to shoot left
handed and that would make us about even, for I am tired
of you beating me any ways, I can see you working that
old funny gun right now.

Sam your misfortune hurt me, and then to think a sorry
_______ did it, makes it even worse.

I trust this will find Mrs. Walker and the baby well and
give them my kindess regards, and hoping with all my
heart your wound is not as bad as the paper states, and
that you may soon get well and out again.  With highest
regards, I am.
                                               Yours,
                                                  McBarnes


Sam there is only one consolation and that is you were hurt doing your
duty.

Note: Sam Walker, a Policeman, was shot while on duty and lost his right eye.
