Scope and Contents
The bearer, James Holohan, and Margaret Hanley ask that they be married by the Bishop and Bapst asks that he do so. They were to have been married a few months ago but despite the need of the girl they did not do so. They need to be married without delay and cannot be married without a certificate from the city clerk which could not be dated back. The city clerk suggested that they go to Rhode Island where no certificate is required. They belong to Father William A. Blenkinsop's parish in whose house he is now writing and who wishes the Bishop to comply. The young man is only 20 years of age but his parents already regard him as married. Blenkinsop wants him to write because the young couple first applied to him Bapst. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
