Galwey realizes how unsuitable his article "Covering the Retreat" is for the Ave Maria and requests its return. He has more material for more war articles if Hudson is interested. Hudson's note on Bishop Louis Rappe is evidence of the loyalty of that prelate during the Civil War. Had others been as solicitous for the spiritual welfare of the soldiers as he was, Galwey would have more to write about the work of chaplains. As he lay wounded in a field hospital on the day of the battle of Horseshoe at Spotsylvania, May 2, 1864, numerous dying Catholics cried in vain for a Catholic priest. He saw the harm that political prejudice was capable of doing when allowed to exercise and influence in religious matters. Galwey believes there were but three Catholic chaplains in Hancock's Corps of 40,000 men. :: X-3-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
