Scope and Contents

He succeeded in getting Father Charles L. Lemagie away this noon. He looked like a man cast ashore from shipwreck. Hendricken never passed such a week of worry. Even yesterday he threatened him with a double guard to keep him still. He has gone without scandal to Winston to join the Franciscan Brotherhood. He was sorry in parting for having given so much trouble. Hendricken gave him a letter to Father Leo. Hendricken is sure the old man can save his soul better in a community of religious than as a secular priest. A year or two of novitiate might cure him. He sent Father Kane with him to the depot. He understands that he has a few thousand dollars which would be a good sign of a vocation to such a poor monastery. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
