Bayley, James Roosevelt, Bishop of, Newark, New Jersey, to Bishop Francis P. McFarland of, Hartford, Connecticut, 1868 August 3

Identifier: CDHT I-1-c

Scope and Contents

He thinks it right to inform him that the Franciscan Sisters of Winstead have been collecting in the diocese without permission and that he caught them telling lies. Although he knew they had collected in Paterson they denied it. He does not wish to make a formal complaint but McFarland will have to keep an eye on them and their superiors. These friars have a bad morality about begging and set at naught diocesan and parochial regulations. The Sisters have given scandal by begging on railroads and in all sorts of houses. Bayley has issued a strong circular against them and he thinks they will have to take measures against them and their superiors. He hopes that McFarland has survived the not cycle. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 3pp 8vo.
