Identifier: CDHT I-1-c

Scope and Contents

Bayley has been much surprised at the large sum McFarland raises each year for the seminary. McFarland's diocese is more Populous but he gets three times as much as Bayley. He asks how McFarland works. He also wants to know McFarland's regulations about priests' salaries. Because of the fluctuating currencies he has not changed since the war but has been allowing the priests to take the Easter and Christmas collections with bad effects. He has thought of fixing the salary of parish priests at $1000 and of assistants at $600. He asks McFarland's opinion. Of course they get the perquisites also. McFarland is a practical man and he desires his advice. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
