INFIRMARY STUDENT
Balto August 10th 1862
This is to certify that Doct A. L. Manning was an infirmary student some ten years ago, and that, he discharged his duty in a most sober, attentive, satisfactory, and masterly manner; and that I take great pleasure in recommending him as one of the most prompt practical young men I ever met with
