Dear Parents
Today is the Sabbath and having nothing to pass away the time I thought I would write you a few lines. I and Charley are well with the exception that I have had considerable headache of late. I do not know what causes it. I haven’t taken anything for but am going to take some saltz.
I write principally today to tell you to send me by Johnathon Miller a couple of shirts. I want something that is strong and that will stand hard knocks. I would also like to have a handkerchief, as the one you sent me before I lost somewhere in the march from Millikens Bend to Grand Gulf.
We had inspection this morning, General Dennis (?) And the Col. Of the twelth Missouri. The General said that we had the finest guns he had seen. I did not have much to put into my knapsack. I only had one shirt and a pair of socks, it looked like some did when we first came into the service.
I can’t write you a long letter for besides not having much to write I haven’t much time.
If you can’t send them with Miller, wait until the next comes home. But I must close. Write soon.
Your son,
David P. Merwin
Another interesting script in this handwritten sign. Not sure about the wavy underline, doesn't work for me, unnecessary.

There are multiple questions when we use the terminology SMART VISION GLASSES. How can glasses be Smart and have Vision too? Here are a few answers to the questions running through your mind.
SMART VISION GLASSES is a wearable device for the blind/visually impaired using Artificial Intelligence, Machine Vision, and Machine Learning. The device has an electronic brain (artificial intelligence) that transforms their dark world into a more interactive, interesting, and independent world. They can read their favorite book, catch up with the news in magazines and newspapers, students can write their exams without scribes and so much more.
What does SMART VISION GLASSES mean for me?
Can I see things around me?
Can I read?
Can I recognize the world around me?
Does it help me identify objects and guide me?
If I say, YES. Will you believe me? SHG Technologies has indeed been working on this mission to provide SMART VISION GLASSES to all the people who are either blind/visually impaired. SHG Technologies was determined to provide the most affordable SMART VISION GLASSES that would enable any blind or visually impaired person to meet their basic needs and could reach most of the needy.
Imagine a world of a blind person when he/she is wearing the SMART VISION GLASSES and experiences all kinds of objects in front of the device identified. A few objects are around us Outdoor - roads, lamp posts, zebra crossing, trees, and Indoors objects like windows, curtains, tables, laptops, mobile, and bottles. The user gets familiar with their surroundings. A world that is very similar to the Common person. This is not a fantasy anymore with technology. Today, you have the opportunity to view the world as real as possible with technology.
That is not limited, further, it is possible to read. Unlike the bygone ages, you don’t need anyone to read your favorite newspapers. SMART VISION GLASSES is your Reading Assistance. It helps in reading text/manuscripts like printed books, handwritten, etc. Users can pause to understand the text, resume back to continue reading, and finally stop the flow of reading. You are now smarter than a normal person as this device supports English, Hindi & all Indian regional languages such as Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, and Gujarati. Reading assistance is accurate and reliable.
Now that when you can recognize the objects around you and able to read with your SMART VISION GLASSES, we can think of more. Can you guess?
What would happen when a blind/visually impaired person is walking? He can use his stick and put the steps very carefully. Imagine if some friend walks with you and guides you, won’t you be confident to put your footsteps more confident? confident That’s exactly what we wanted to fulfill and help you understand, that SMART VISION GLASSES from SHG TECHNOLOGIES is your best friend, and wanted to work your path by providing Walking Assistance
Safety is our number one priority. Walking Assistance simply detects if any obstacle is in front of the user by a method of measuring distance and hindrance. Timely voice alerts are given to the user's precaution.
While you started walking on your own, you can also greet your friends if they cross over using our features Facial Recognition. Not only does calling someone by their name connect you better with that person, but it also increases accountability, trust, empathy, and positive communication. Here we have Facial storage and Face recognition for the visually impaired. A facial recognition system is a technology capable of matching a human face from a stored facial database of faces. This is possible as we always believe in giving you the best. Technology has enabled us to give you the real world as much as possible.
SHG Technologies works with multiple organizations to reach blindly/visually challenged people. The goal is to reach the maximum number of people and spread awareness of the SMART VISION GLASSES. You could also visit www.shgtechnologies.com for the demo. The team is equally dedicated and passionate to give an end to end assistance to demo the product. Also, there is a dedicated helpline that never stops assisting blind/visually impaired people to use the device. Today there are multiple testimonials about the product, which speak to the dedication of the team to eliminate the disability of vision with the help of technology.
