In a letter to Dr. [[Edward R. Baldwin\|Edward R. Baldwin]] dated March 7, 1923, regarding his gift of the infirmary in his wife's memory, Charles Ludington described the building as "designed to help others win a fight which she herself had to meet and which she maintained with such gallantry and such victorious self-forgetfulness and cheer to the end." Also given in her memory were an addition to the [[Saranac Lake Free Library]] for a children's library (1924), where a large bronze plaque memorializes Mrs. Ludington; two other libraries elsewhere, and a substantial gift to the [[Wikipedia:Phipps_Institute_for_the_Study,_Treatment_and_Prevention_of_Tuberculosis\|Henry Phipps Institute for Tuberculosis]] at the University of Pennsylvania.
