Scope and Contents
On McCloskey's return last evening, he found McFarland's note. He regrets not seeing McFarland as in a personal interview they could have consulted on what course to pursue in reference to the withdrawal of the name of Father H. and the substitution of another. What would McCloskey think of recommending Father Thomas F. Hendricken as dignissimus? Father Hughes ' name might then be suggested for the third or second place. McCloskey will write to the Cardinal, withdrawing H.'s name. He will be on retreat with his clergy at Troy, and home on Saturday. The Bishop of Ghent wrote that he has secured the services of an excellent professor for the Provincial Seminary. As he is an acquaintance of the other Belgian professors he will feel himself at home. P.S. In reply to McCloskey's letter asking for a good professor the Bishop of Ghent wrote that he had found a man who would suit, Father Augustin Fèvey ?. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
