Amasa Lyman soon arived & sealed Edwin Henry Moss

Dr France & Anderson arived to operate upon brother Moss
who had a leakage of the main artery which formed a
bone or shell vessel which would near a gallon around the
thigh bone which is supposed to be filled with Blood from the
main artery. Brother France said if he was to open it it
would kill him almost instantly so they intend to cut into
the body above the groin to the main artery & tie it up so
they can take the limb off it is a vary critical case they
concluded they would not operate upon him to day as they wished
