My dear Dr. Stearns
I saw young Chang yesterday. He was fearful of trachoma, but he has only a simple conjunctivitis. He has, however, only about half sight, due to apparent myopic astigmatism, and this needs correction. I think it would be safer to use belladonna, so I have asked him to make an appointment for Wednesday. He ought to be here by two o’clock, so that I can put the drops in and I will reserve him for his examination later.
Young Euston also came in and although he is having no trouble, I think it necessary to correct a little myopic astigmatism in his right eye. Arrangements have been made with him to come in next Wednesday. Chang however, will have to be told of this arrangement. I kept them waiting yesterday, because my regular appointments prevented ray giving them immediate attention. If it is possible in the future to engage time beforehand it will facilitate matters a good deal.
Trusting that you: are well and with kind regards, believe me,
