Scope and Contents
He answers McFarland's of April 8. Bishop John McCloskey and Father John J. Conroy were there last month. Clark was pleased to see Conroy who has not changed except that he was more fleshy than at the Mount. He is coming back to Holy Cross College in the summer. Clark hears of the Mountain through the students. Mr. Kenna left them, he thinks, for ordination. They lost Father Philip B. Sacchi . He says McFarland has a wrong impression of the Jesuits when he regrets that they did not devote themselves to the edcuation of the poor instead of the rich. He list their work especially in the cities, especially where the services are gratuitous. He is pleased that John McFarland is well. If the Catholics were faithful he thinks the country would soon be a Catholic country. He speaks of those he knows who have not been faithful in regions where the people are new Protestant. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
