Eye to Eye, Blind Soldier Offered Gift of a Cornea
A fragmentary early 20th century letter describes a blind soldier being offered a possible corneal graft from a donor. The text mixes stray phrases about medical figures and locations, including Paris and Lay twee Hospital, and contemplates the ethics and feasibility of eye donation in wartime. The writer expresses willingness to donate an eye if a suitable recipient is found and pledges loyalty to the donor’s country.
