Father F. Clavier of St. Albans wishes a bishop to preach at the opening of his church some time in June and DeGoesbriand has promised him to try to get one. He invites McFarland but knows that engagements may not permit him to come. DeGoesbriand has a letter from Bishop John McCloskey of Albany that the official appointments to Baltimore and New York will soon arrive in this country. The Roman rumor has Bishop John Martin Spalding of Louisville to Baltimore and Bishop McCloskey of Albany to New York. McCloskey said he had received a letter from Bishop John Fitzpatrick of Boston whose health is much improved and will start for Boston at the end of the month. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
