In coming from Boston he called at Providence but found McFarland away. He intended to tell the Bishop that he had proposed to Father Keller what the Bishop had proposed. He recommended and he seemed to agree that the church of St. Peter in pencil St. John now held by Father Hugh Carmody would be suitable for their purpose. It would be easy to erect there a house for retreat and this would make a suitable place for a day college. O'Connor hopes the Bishop will be able to make the arrangement with Dr. Carmody especially since another good church is likely to become vacant. If not the new church would suit the purpose. O'Connor goes to Europe by steamer. He has every reason to hope that the college will be established on a more satisfactory basis than he could have arranged. It will take some time since the Jesuits require that the title be vested in them. Father Keller thinks this can be accomplished be conveying it to Boston College or to some member of the Society by lease until a separate institution be incorporated. O'Connor will be willing to serve the Bishop in Europe and gives his Dublin address. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
