Identifier: CDHT I-1-a

Scope and Contents

He sends a certificate of deposit for $200 which McFarland is to pay to: $20 to Thomas Bellew; $18 to Owen McConnell-he received $2 from Father Philip Gillick ; $100 to Martin Battle; $62 to Hiram Holcimb and Daniel Lee; $54 to Black River Co. on a note of a Corbett; $8 for arranging judgments. Joseph Mullen is Gilbride's lawyer and will see to the business. He will try to raise now $100 owed to Martin Battle. The people of Carthage owe him nearly $400, with interest. Those of Sterlingville nearly $200. The Brownsville has been paid. There was a lot bought in Sacketts Harbor of which he gave the contract to Father Gillick. The people of Watertown seem innocent but there was no understanding between him and them but if he gave half a Sunday they ought to pay accordingly. He did not expect this treatment from Watertown. He thought they would not grumble at paying Battle and Bellew. They knew that Carthage was the death of a priest's pocket and of his character. By refusing to pay Battle they threw the burden on his shoulders. McFarland is to ask Battle if he has been at any loss. If he has Gilbride will be obliged to make it up. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 6pp. 4to.
