Father Thomas Quinn returned that noon but Hendricken had no opportunity to show him McFarland's letter before he started for Providence. When Hendricken learned that Quinn was going to Providence, on the door step, he told Quinn he had McFarland's letter about his absence from his duties and demanding a letter in explanation. Hendricken does not know where he has been. He complained of a sore throat that needed care and a rest from his ministerial labors. If his system is prostrated Hendricken does not think his return would be beneficial to Quinn or himself. In apparently McFarland's handwriting there is a note that March 25 was a holy day, because he had been unable to say office for some days. He went to New York; the next Sunday he did not hear Mass, was sick at St. John's. He came to Providence Sunday morning at 4 o'clock but was unable to hear Mass. He wishes to go to his Father's and the Bishop gave him permission. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
