Wiseman, Father Joseph V., Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1835 June 3
Scope and Contents
Wiseman thinks it necessary to inform Timon of the present situation here as well as the necessity for his remaining until some one gives directions for future movements. Messrs. Shelby and Knott arrived here late last evening, the former very badly wounded in the heel from the upsetting of the carriage. One or more tendons were severed; Dr. Mason has sewed it. Shelby will be without use of his leg for 3 months, and will probably limp for life. The Superior Father John Baptiste tornatore? is a little better, but extremely weak; he thinks of going aboard a steamboat as far as Mr. Pratte's tomorrow; he may possibly do it. When the Superior arrives at the Seminary he will send some one down to take care of Shelby. Wiseman is a poor nurse. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
