Dahlgren, Madeleine Vinton, Boonsboro, Maryland, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1880 May 25
Scope and Contents
Hudson's letter received. She sends him two letters to read and return. One is from Harry Baden's mother, whose name is now de Vangas. Harry's mother is a convert and the grandmother promised to become a Catholic if Harry Baden could be cured. This letter is written three months after Harry's seemingly fatal wounds, but his health seems very good. One of his limbs was crushed in such manner that amputation was thought impossible. The other was to be amputated above the ankle. They are not going to amputate as the limbs seem to be healing. Harry does not suffer with the wound in his breast which was supposed to be the fatal wound. It was cured the first day. Harry is of remarkable character and has been miraculously cured for some great good. The other letter is a fragment from Miss Garesche, niece of Father Frederick Garesche, and orphan of Colonel Garesche, Assistant Adjutant General, who was killed near Gen. Rosecrans at Murfreesboro. He was a saintly man. That is why the Blessed Lady cares for his orphan child. These letters are not for publication. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4 pp. 12 mo
