Thebaud had to delay his answer because Father Michael Driscoll was on a mission in Pennsylvania. He is the only one available since the Jesuits are chaplains to the 37th, 69th, and Wilson's Zouaves. Driscoll has not been engaged for Jan. 7 and the beginning of February. He asks only that something definite be carved out for him. He is going to a mission in Hudson City and will be free after Christmas. If McFarland will say where, he would like to talk these matters over with him. Thebaud is sorry that he cannot be with the Bishop at Christmas but three other fathers are already in Connecticut for that time. Two for Hartford for Father Hughes and Kelly and the other to New Haven to help Father O'Brien. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
