I received your letter on April 20th. I'm so late in answering your letter because on the following:
Sunday there happened an accident to Heinrich Gerling when we had divine service. In the afternoon after the 3 divine service he wanted to mount his horse. Having one foot in the stirrup he wanted to swing his leg his other foot over the saddle. As he did so the horse jumped and threw him off so that his right leg hit on a tree stump that was cut about one foot above the ground and broke his shin, so that the bone could be seen from the outside. There lives in St. Thomas a German physician who was close to the church where the accident happened. They carried Gerling to a house where the bone was set. In the evening eight men took him to his home. There they had to put cold water and compresses on the leg every five minutes. The leg wound didn't bleed. Heinrich was a big, thick and heavy man. The compresses and water was put on as long as the doctor ordered it to be done. The doctor came on horseback every day. One day Heinrich would complain of backache, on another he would complain of chest pains. He had to cough up what looked like pus. He asked the doctor for medicine. The chest pains
were increasing. The doctor ordered more medicine. On the ninth day it got so bad that the doctor said that he did not think that Heinrich would not live another 48 hours. Then they asked for the priest to give him the Last Sacraments. Heinrich lived until the 15 of May.
***The 20th of April in 1868 was on a Monday. Thus Heinrich's accident happened on April 26, 1868.
He lived for 19 days after the accident.***
