Dubreul, S.S., Father Joseph Paul, Baltimore, Maryland, to Bishop Francis P. McFarland of Hartford, Providence, Rhode Island, 1863 January 3

 Item
Identifier: CDHT I-1-b

Scope and Contents

Mr. Bartley left the Seminary Wednesday and should be in Providence with a certificate of his reason for leaving. The decision in regard to his vocation decided his leaving. In summary, Dubreul feels that he had inclination that would be dangerous in a priest. As to Mr. Clancey [Clancy], Father Stanislas Ferté says that McFarland wrote him about Clancy during Dubreul's absence last summer. The letter seems to have been destroyed. This has disturbed him since he felt that McFarland had another reason for refusing to dispense Clancy from an irregularity. He cannot under the circumstances recommend him to any other bishop and he must ask McFarland to tell him of anything that would be calculated to give any fear to the Archbishop for the future. Clancy brought from his pastor a good certificate about the manner in which he spent his vacation time. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
