: I was to the Loyalsock country this week to examine your Scout Seamus MacWilliam as per your request. I am pleased to report that he is progessing well in the recovery from his severe head wound suffered at Ligonier. The enclosed likeness was made by the artist, Andrew Kuntz, when the scout Many Flags and his party were hunting at Seamus's cabin in December. The wound, in his forehead, is closing nicely, as is visible in this image. At times he appears to be quite normal, and at other times he shows definite brain damage. He still occasionally uses a drool cup, but is gradually gaining the control of his functions. The liberal applications of an amber liquid taken frequently seem to induce healing in a rather mysterious manner. I have not seen the likes of it before.

: He is tended by a Hunchback, a herd of sheep, particularly a large ewe, and a strange, elusive Scotsman who see that he is given the liquid as often as he will take it. A pretty dark haired lass attends to his needs and keeps the rather small cabin clean and orderly.

: It is my prognosis that he will, indeed, recover fully from this wound, which would have killed most men instantly. Why it did not, I have no clue.

: In my opinion, he will be ready for duty within two months, if he continues to improve as he has been.

: I am, and remain,

: Your Honor's Most Humble and Obd't Servant,
