I saw & dressed McDowell's wounds immediatly after he was Shot-back, right side, striking the 11th Dorsal rRib & detaching it from its corresponding vertebra, then passing upward & inward, & burrying itself-as I think — in one of the deep seated muscles of the spine — I considered all danger of immediate ^death^ passed after 48 hours — I so expressed myself — he continued to slowly improve up to when I was discharged —
I then entertained no doubts of his ultimate recovery —
Respectfully
J, R Halderman
