He received McMaster's letter of the 21st too late to write to him, so had to telegraph in order to suppress the whole introduction. His reasons for doing so are that Mr. Schaeffe is an enemy of the Church and Garesche learned that he was about to declare that there was no miracle and that the whole affair was a scheme of the Sisters of Mercy to raise money. The matter has created intense excitement. The Watchman published an account which was copied by the daily papers. The Medical Society met last Saturday and Garesche sends their report. Of the parties mentioned, Dr. Harmer is a German Liberal; Montrose is a Protestant, as are Drs. Patten, Hodgon, Cooper and Bond. He does not know about Dr. Rucckelbahn. Garesche erred as the miraculous nature of the cure, Garesche believes it to be the work of the Blessed Virgin, to whom Theresa Schaeffe prayed that she might be cured. He bases his belief on the fact that the girl was given only a few hours to live, by some of the most eminent medical men of St. Louis, and the next day was able to walk more than a mile and a half to church and back, besides eating heavily, something she had not been able to do before. The report of the Medical Society shows that no trickery is imputed and that a strange cure is admitted, and that no theory of explanation is given. The first, third and fourth paragraphs of McMaster's story would do injury to the Church and should be changed. Garesche believes the cure to be a miraculous one and the apathy or cowardice of the medical society shall not shake his belief. Mrs. Garesche and he pray for McMaster's wife and have distributed the memoriam cards to those who will pray for her. P.S. He returns the check McMaster sent for Miss Schaeffe. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
