Scope and Contents

McCloskey deferred answering McFarland until he had definite information about Chorlton. He left that morning for Louvain and McCloskey is glad he did not stay in Rome. His dissatisfaction on de locis was justified. There are many things connected with classes that do not please him but ad they are a college of only yesterday it is better to look before acting. He would prefer that their students attend the roman College or Roman Seminary. If the American Bishops want they can make a change and the students can get away from what they fret about. He would like to feel the pulse of the Americans concerning the American College at Rome. The knowledge that a collection is being taken up for the Troy Seminary and the rates of exchange have caused him to defer his trip. He asks McFarland to suggest the best time for the trip. Bishop Patrick N. Lynch left for Paris on November 2 to return in December. They sleep in peace. Lynch got out a pamphlet on Emancipation. In answer someone translated into Italian an article from the Dublin Review on the same subject. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
