Beleké was delighted to read of McFarland's ordination. When in Frederick he and James Clark talked about him. Beleké had intended to leave the Mountain and this winter he offered his services to the president of St. John's and agreed to come on August 2. When he handed in his resignation at the Mountain the President and the Council refused to accept and offer him a greater salary than he deserves. Later Father John McCaffrey, much moved, insisted that if Father John Harley knew of their situation he would insist that Beleké stay at the Mountain. Beleké agreed but has not received an answer from the President of vice president of St. John's. Knowing Father Harley's devotion to the Mountain, Beleké is not certain what his answer will be. He asks McFarland to show the letter to Harley and to obtain an answer but not one to do as he pleased. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
