1846034; Houben, Charles: Blessed: Cures obtained through his intercession: partial documents in the case of an infant, Denise Pelly. The main document is a 9 page report, unsigned but marked "Roma 3rd August, 1962". From it we gather that Denise seemed to have improved from her former mental and retarded state, though we have no specific details, The burden of this report is that premature babies - Denise was born prematurely at seven and a half months - often show signs of retardation but many slowly recover. The writer is not at all convinced that there is anything miraculous in this case, and is far from impressed by the child's parents or the doctore under whos care she was. Attached is copy letter from Gerald O'Boyle, C.P. to Dr. Kidney, who was the doctor concerned. He had evidently furnished Gerald with his observations, and Gerald promised to call on him. No further information on this case is extant. The envelope in which the above papers are enclosed is marked by Oliver Kelly, C.P., "Reported Cures Not Passed".
