By the same mail McFarland will probably receive a letter from Mr. Charlton asking permission to enter the English College. The only reason given McCloskey was his desire to benefit by the lectures of the Roman College. But McCloskey thinks the real motive is because a companion, a convert, has lately gone over to Collegio Pio, a part of the English College. The Rector insists on only two classes a day and permits them to go out alone dressed as simple priests. He does not know Charlton's age but if he is 24 he can get in there, and his last year in Rome will be spent in Pio. McCloskey thinks he seeks more the Roman College than the lectures. His self love has been wounded. When he pleaded illness, McCloskey permitted him to read his sermon instead of delivering it. But he spent six months in the country and walked as much as six miles between 4 o'clock and sunset. He changed very much in the country, staying in a Franciscan convent and with a priest at Frascati. Since he has been very much dissatisfied with himself and everybody else, McCloskey thinks that the change will do him no good. His companion at the convent was the convert. If these changes are allowed the influence of the snug harbor at Pio will be great. The Cardinal is too dignified to say anything. McCloskey thinks that a student should stay at the same college once he has come. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
