He encloses for McFarland's perusal a letter from Father Michael Carraher? now within McFarland's diocese and permitted to do duty. Bacon could not induce him to give a statement of his affairs while at Ellsworth, Maine and Bacon withdrew his faculties. He told Bacon that if he allowed him to spend a Sunday at Newburyport he would collect a sufficient sum to pay his debts, his uncle having invited him to go for that object. He went and returned with more than the amount of his indebtedness. He now threatens to sue Bacon for more than $500. Does such a priest deserve to be dealt with kindly, asks Bacon. He was careful not to do this until McFarland had recognized him. ` P.S. He asks McFarland to return Carraher?'s letter. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
