Mother Mary Cecilia Bailly: October 4, 1864

Thursday. I go to town to make purchases. … The streets of Terre Haute are filled with men that have been drafted and who are examined, enrolled and equipped in Soldier’s dress.

In the Sisters of Providence Archives there is a bound transcription of the diary of General Superior Mother Mary Cecilia Bailly. She served as general superior after the death of Mother Theodore Guerin in 1856 until 1868, covering the turbulent years of the Civil War, 1861-1865. The diary consists of entries about the day-to-day activities of Mother Mary Cecilia, the Congregation and local and national happenings. Some entries are very short — one sentence — while others are more detailed.
