McCloskey asks McFarland to send a draft for 2500 francs on account of the Hartford students at the American college. He does not know what the bill will be. Yesterday Mother Ann Simeon was buried at Mt. St. Joseph's. She died at Mt. Hope of cancer. Many speak of Sister Euphemia, sister of Father William Blenkinsop as her likely successor. Mr. Chorlton, he supposes, has arrived long since. He hopes Chorlton will be able to continue his studies at Troy in the spring. President Father John McCaffrey 's health is not good. Father H. Xaupi 's beard rivals that of Bishop Josue M. Young . Lately they have received the accession of Father Timothy O'Toole of Washington. They write from Rome that the French will go but McCloskey is incredulous. To McCloskey the inroads of the miscreants show that the French will be forced to remain. He leaves for Baltimore and soon to New York. He did not see Bishop John Fitzpatrick in Boston because that bishop was too ill. McCloskey says he noted in the papers that the fair inaugurated by McFarland was successful. Roman doctors make good listeners. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
