heartbroken
i was wondering how your leg is
it had twinges a bit now now i would
expect that
you will recall i was the one who was
opposed to you walking on it so soon
yes ma'am however i appreciate your
desire to
be active may i check
yes ma'am
well
the stitches are they're holding nicely
the wound is healing very well when do
you think i'll be
fully recovered some would say you're
recovered now
i'm sure the army surgeons would say you
are ready to return to duty
so you'd like me to leave i didn't say
that of course not you're
you're far too polite a lady to be so
blunt about her i'm as blunt as i need
to be copper mcburney
since you brought it up i would say that
the leg will be healed well enough to
live by the end of the week
well that's in just a few days yes it is
where would i go i'm afraid that's
entirely your business where you go
coffee
however i think you may find columns of
your troops on the main road to richmond
well your garden should have continual
care i mean you need a full-time
gardener
perhaps but i expect in these times when
just has to do without
she's just a shame isn't it that i
couldn't have remained helpless

you
