Identifier: CDHT I-1-a

Scope and Contents

He received McFarland's letter yesterday. Father J.C.D. was here for nearly three weeks and left four or five days ago for Canada. He spoke of the affair with Elder Green and said that he was going to Philadelphia to see some papers for the trial. He seems to have no doubt of his defeating Green when the case came to trial. He thinks himself greatly injured by the Bishop John Hughes and defies any one to prove his intemperance. Ned is back there but not in his old position. Father Patrick Bradly starts this week for Buffalo to take the place of Father William Whelan who is not expected to recover. Father Patrick Murphy is in charge of Staten Island. The Island was to have been his mission and he may go there yet since Murphy's appointment is only temporary. There will be changes when the gentleman returns from Rome. He is making a report of the state of the Church, the first that has been made. He lists some Mass intentions. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
