Thebaud, S.J., Father Augustine J., St. John's College, New York, to Bishop Francis P. McFarland of, Hartford, Connecticut, 1861 July 30
Scope and Contents
As soon as he received McFarland's letter he carried it to Father Remigius J. Tellier, S.J., their superior, who asked him to write that it would be impossible for them to send another chaplain to the army. They have already given three besides Father O'Reilly who is going to France for a year. As to sending a priest to replace one of his priests it is more conformable to send a chaplain. But they have none to send. As to establishing a house of the Jesuits in McFarland's diocese the letter has been handed to Father _____ Sopranis, their visitor, who is going to Rome next Monday and will place the request in the hands of the General and from conversation with Father Sopranis, Thebaud thinks the request will succeed. He will do all he can to make it succeed. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
