Dahlgren, Madeleine Vinton, Boonesboro, Maryland, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1881 June 28
Scope and Contents
Reading the notice of "Ethan Allen's Daughter" in the Ave Maria reminded her of a story told her some years ago by Mrs. William T., Ellen Ewing Sherman, who heard it from someone who knew the facts. The story concerns the reason why Ethan Allen's daughter entered the convent. She tells the story in detail as it was told to her. It might be well for Hudson to get the exact account and publish it for the honor of St. Joseph. She is now building St. Joseph's Chapel and has met with unexpected obstacles. She asks Hudson to pray for success. The man who helped the architect stake off the ground was the very Morgan cured by Our Lady of Lourdes some years ago. :: X-2-h A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
