He thanks the Bishop and Father R.B. Tillotson for his letter. They are staying there and enjoying themselves as much as bad news from the army will let them. He is very sorry that they could not depute a number of their priests as chaplains. The soldiers ar all extremely eager to have priests with them. Some officers tols his brother that there was a priest with the 69th who had the respect of the soldiers and the whole body attended services, including the Protestants. He hopes the Bishop can send a priest with the Connecticut Brigade. He thinks that Dr. John Mulligan or Father B.D. Coit would fill the part. He must beg pardon for offering his advice. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
