I saw & dressed McDowell's wounds immediatly after he was Shot-Aug 5th- The ball entered his 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 Aug 10th the day of trial-when when I was discharged --

I then entertained no doubts of his ultimate recovery --

Respectfully J, R Halderman
