No. 1328,335, of Marion Goss, Co “I” 149” Regt. Ind. Vols. (General Lane.) That he has known the said claimant Marion Goss since June 1873. That he and the claimant were both engaged in the practice of medicine during all of the time since 1873 and aided and assisted each other, therefore he had special opportunity to know his condition. During the first half of this period said Goss resided seven miles from himself, but during the latter half of the period mentioned they lived in the same town and that he saw and was with said claimant almost daily. That one year was spent by said claimant in the West (1886) during the period mentioned in Search of health.

That he is still suffering from said diseases and is, at the present time, unable to do anything by reason of there said diseases, that claimant has frequently consulted him with reference to them. That he cannot give specific dates for the reason that he made no charges against said claimant for services, therefore has no record.
