O'Connor, S.J., Bishop Michael, Baltimore, Maryland, to Bishop Francis P. McFarland of Hartford, Providence, Rhode Island, 1860s
Scope and Contents
O'Connor is pleased that McFarland has written to Dean Kenny and that all is proceeding to the Bishop's satisfaction. He intends to write to the Dean telling him of his nephew who is now in the novitiate at Frederick. He hopes things at Rome will go as McFarland wishes. The Jesuits have been waiting for the opportune time. They would begin with a house of retreat and a congregation and in time add an educational institution. They would start the first at once. A house of retreat would be good for the country and O'Connor hopes that McFarland will assign them some place suitable apart from the conventual establishment for the retreat house. He hopes the Bishop will keep these matters in mind. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
