Hendricken had many things to put before the Bishop and is sorry that by illness he had to miss the conference. He asks a dispensation from the banns for Michael Moran and Mary Deigan, because of the short time before Lent. A man half Catholic and Protestant for twenty years has begun to live with his niece as husband and wife. A child will be baptised that night in Waterbury. They are Terence Caffrey and Margaret Reilly. If the Bishop will grant the dispensation he will endeavor to collect the fine. They cannot be separated. He encloses a letter Father Michael O'Connor wrote on the same subject not included but the decision is up to the Bishop. There were 19 priests at the conference. The matter for the next conference is baptism and confirmation and will be held May 13. He did not telegraph the Bishop as he prefers Father M. Princen to the others mentioned. He fears the latter would give scandal. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
