Acknowledging McFarland's letter of the 4th, he says that much as he would like to oblige him and the boy's reverend uncle he cannot admit the young man to the seminary. They could not admit that they would take or keep one dismissed for such a violation. He returns the letter of Father Dubreul. McCabe was allowed to visit his family on the news of his mother's death. McCaffrey is looking for his return as he is their most promising student. Mr. Rogers is also one of their most promising students. On McCabe's return he will consult his colleagues and if they approve promote them to deaconship. They are and have been very useful as teachers. Many causes have lessened the number of seminarians. The College has 120 pupils and is increasing. He could accept two or three seminarians who could teach while studying to cut their expenses. He will accept anyone that McFarland recommends. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
