June 30, 1841: The Whig reported that it had regretted to learn from a source, âthat the Hon. E.H. Foster, is again confined to his bed on account of the wound he received at the hands of Mr. Brown â The facts are, that a few days after the occurrence, the wound healed up, and all apprehensions of danger passed away, and his Physicians were of opinion, that the knife blade, which broke off and was supposed to be in his body, was not there.â
âBut after Col. Foster had recovered, and was supposed to be out of all danger, he was troubled incessantly with a severe pain, in the neighborhood of the wound, and his Physicians were induced to change their opinions, and open consultation determined on making a search for his broken blade â Accordingly, on Thursday the 17 inst., an incision between 3 and 4 inches long, was made over the surface of the wound, and down to the membrane that covered the bone but after a painful and attentive search, no blade was discovered
