Identifier: CDHT I-1-a

Scope and Contents

Hendricken has received one letter yesterday, the second today. Father James F. Campbell would wish to be pastor of Naugatuck, Seymour, and Woodbury but would prefer to remain here, that is, to make his residence there until he could provide a house for himself in Naugatuck in the spring or summer. The railroad runs through all of them so that he would be as near as if he lived in any one of them. If McFarland wishes another arrangement Hendricken will have him go at once but Seymour will be necessary to make Naugatuck a parish. He does not wish McFarland to consider his own best interests but what is best. He writes to show that he will do whatever the Bishop wants. Their mission is succeeding well. Insert He saw Father John P. Roddan on Monday. He is corpulent and helpless. Hendricken says he will not be able to go on the mission even if he lives. When he leaves the bed two men must be summoned. He speaks as if he had suffered shock. He and his family think he will be well in a short time. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
