After his return from Baltimore he ordered Mr. McCabe and Mr. Byrne of Boston to be ready for ordination to the priesthood on Saturday, the feast of St. Silvester. They spend the week at Loyola College, Baltimore where Father Angelo Paresce has engaged to give them or get one of the Jesuits to give the exercises of a retreat. McCabe asked him to write to McFarland asking his most earnest prayers on this occasion. They thought it best to promote him and practice his priesthood in comparative retirement.
