In accordance with McFarland's wishes to limit at Christmas time the trial given to Bartley, Dubreul has had a meeting of the board. The unanimous opinion is that Bartley is not to be encouraged to go on. Bartley when told that he must go, asked a few days to write to his friends for money. Dubreul regrets the critical health of Coit and Bohan; their usefulness has been of short duration. They have a French class and McFarland suggested that his seminarians get some acquaintance with French. If McFarland suggests, some would be directed to attend that class. P.S. Clancey left the seminary last Monday to return to Boston but spent the day in Baltimore during which he visited the Archbishop to expose his case. Archbishop Martin J. Spalding encouraged him to try thoroughly his vocation and promised to dispense him from any irregularity if he has a favorable report. Clancey has reentered the seminary. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo
