Some time ago Father John Brady called on Loughlin and asked him to adopt James Halton stating that Father John Corry would pay for him from funds from some estate. Brady further said that Corry had the right to do this. Now Loughlin learns from Mr. Dalton that McFarland objected to this when he was at Ellicott's Mills, and insisted that anyone supported from Father Corry's funds should belong to the diocese of Hartford. Loughlin asks McFarland to inform him whether Corry was right in making the arrangements. In McFarland's hand: McFarland says he answered urging Loughlin to be executor and if he declined McFarland said he would pay the pension of Halton at St. Charles until he is ready for Philosophy and for his books and clothes afterwards. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
