McCaffrey had McFarland's letter of July 20 and the one in which he explains his effort to get to the commencement. Thank God they are quiet and secure after watching passing armies and one of the great battles of the war. As to McFarland's seminarians, the youngest failed to complete the course. He does not expect or wish to return. He, J.F., must go back two years in his cave and work steadily. McCabe and Rogers give much satisfaction. McCabe has been so full of youthful spirit that McCaffrey has not wished him promoted to sacred orders. He has fine talent and McCaffrey intended to recommend him for promotion until he received McFarland's letter. They also intend to recommend Rogers for orders. The complaints that McFarland has heard are not new; the Director of the seminary and Professor of Theology have had too much to do. He has obtained for the coming year a graduate of Propaganda. He hopes the cause of complaint will be removed. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
