He has received McFarland's letter and check. He encloses a receipt with the notes about the Hartford seminarians no enclosure which he would have sent earlier but understood that he wanted them to remain until the next visit. He will keep in mind McFarland's remarks about the students that have left. He hopes in a few days to send a report on the seminary. He has already sent it to the Bishop of Albany John Joseph Conroy who wishes to make other arrangements about the money he receives from the Bishops. Edwards notes that the expenses of the seminary exceeded the amount received last half year for board and tuition by $700. He hopes this year it will not be that much. P.S. Concerning the student's notes all gave willingly except Chorlton who said that as he paid for himself there was no necessity of his giving a note for what he did not owe. Edwards did not press the matter. Rev. J. Flynn was, he thinks, an exception by McFarland. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
