Since Jerome McFarland is going to visit Francis he will send this message and news of the brothers in Allen and Logan by him. He heard from Josiah a few weeks ago when he was well. The health of Tiffin and vicinity is quite good. He received a letter and newspapers from Francis and is pleased that he and their mother are well. The people of Watertown seem to feel for the poor of Ireland. In his county they have had meetings but have not sent anything. Some $50 was collected in church by Father Joseph McNamee . He has been in Cincinnati for a few days. He has obtained a copy of Murillo's Mater Dolorosa. Since Francis can get books from Dunigan at low prices he will send him a list when he gets some money. They hope to see him in Watertown or some other New York town this summer. His wife Ann will send him some articles she had for him last summer. He has told Jerome that if he is to start on a professional career he should first make two years of study, and suggests that Francis give him advice on this subject. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
