Verot, Augustin, Bishop of, Savannah, Georgia, to Bishop Francis P. McFarland of, Hartford, Connecticut, 1867 April 3
Scope and Contents
Verot has received McFarland's letter about Father William Poole . His case puzzles Verot. After McFarland refused to receive him before he was ordained he wrote to Verot and wished to come to Savannah. Verot sent him money for his bills. As soon as ordained he did not wish to come to Savannah, came, it is true, and would do nothing and would not stay. Seeing he was unwilling and not caring for such a missionary, Verot allowed him to depart after Poole paid a part of what Verot had advanced him in Rome. He stated his case to the Archbishop of New York who refused to admit him although Verot had told him that it would be well to receive Poole to save him from worse things. If McFarland wants to receive him Verot has no objections so long as McFarland knows the circumstances. He would wish him to make a good retreat or spend some time in a seminary before going out into the ministry. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
