Hendricken encloses a draft for $1201. The collection amounted to $1181 and the $20 he borrowed and does not recollect paying. Father Michael B. Roddan is at St. Vincent's, New York. Hendricken went in with him but saw no physician while he was there. The superioress thought little or nothing could be done in his case. She will write in a few days to McFarland. If the doctors there can do nothing for him it will be best to return him to Bristol. Hendricken is sure that he will never do missionary duty again. The times are dull there. Business may expect a stagnation until fall. He is doing well and he expects that the property he bought will be paid for by the end of the year. Thus year by year advance is made towards what he has in view—the building of a splendid convent. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
