McCabe received yesterday a letter from Father P. Delany to whom he had written about his studies at the seminary. Delany at McCabe's suggestion obtained McFarland's advice which he now has before him. He does not know why he did not write to the Bishop first. Examinations are now on. McFarland advised him to finish his studies at the seminary and remain there for the vacation. He had decided not to go away because of the war times. He has now changed his plans because his mother has been sick and wishes him home. His brother who has been in the army will go home on furlough and he may never have a chance to see him again. Finally the draft will be made in the state soon and he is not exempted. Father John McCaffrey, the President, obtained an exemption for all of them as teachers but cannot do so now. Mt. St. Mary's is called the hot-bed of secession and the state is wholly under Federal power. That is why he wants to visit his home in Pawtucket this summer. He wants to stay there. He hopes to talk with the Bishop soon. ` P.S. He is very much hurries. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
