He received McFarland's of June 12th but so many strange things happened at Nativity. McFarland has undoubtedly heard of Nedd's misfortune. He tried to get permission to visit his mother. The Bishop refused him twice and asked for a month's wait. When he tried to get permission the third time the Bishop John Hughes said he could not replace him. The Bishop asked him why he did not report the situation, but Kein said the Bishop knew it as well as he did. The great Georgius was named. There was a run on the church after O'Neill went away. Kein has not sent any one away displeased. This week he thinks he will pay off the bond holders and will then have peace. Then he supposes the Bishop will bring in one of his genteel young men in his place. McFarland should make room for him in the diggings. Father Michael Olivetti is with him who thinks all are opposed to him because he is not an Irishman. He will lose all the sense that he has. The Jesuits are doing well at the College. The 120-30 boys seem pleased. P.S. He asks about McFarland's mother. His brother-in-law has died leaving 5 small children. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
