 Item
Identifier: CDHT I-1-b

Scope and Contents

Although McFarland was in the neighboring parishes lately Hendricken learned of it too late to see him. He wants to consult him about many things, especially about Naugatuck. Tomorrow Fathers Leo and Jerome will open a mission there. He wants to know the number of communicants there before McFarland makes any change. He encloses the list of a collection made there. Father M. McCabe is confined to the house with a very sore eye, a few days may bring the inflammation down. If McFarland sees fit Hendricken thinks that Father Leo should have faculties to absolve a few excommunications. Everything goes well. He had a mission during May and the piety of the people was never more evident. Enclosed is a printed list of persons, members of the Church who contributed $1 to pay for the organist of the Church at Naugatuck up to that date, with notations written in by Hendricken. :: I-1-b A.L.S. and Printed Circular 3pp. 4to.
