Monaghan encloses the deed not with letter of that place which is duly registered and written word for word according the the deed he received from Howard and written by Edward H. Thomson, attorney, and the stakes duly defined by Mr. Pane; the taxes also paid for the year. He has tried to get exemption from taxes but has not succeeded as yet. He has taken the pledge and told the congregation what Lefevere directed him. All seems to go on well, even old Mrs. Hubbard and some of her family come to Mass and many other Americans want books to be instructed in the Catholic faith. The complaining parties have not come to Mass as yet but are led by Mr. Ailward's chimerical notions. The greatest difficulty is to pay Mr. Howard for the place, for at the time of payment, next November, they will be deprived of the place if the money is not paid. What little money he received he paid for repairs of the house and for the church. He received a letter from Mr. Shaugnessy to which he could not reply as it was not written with deferential courtesy to the prieshood. The people of this town are not applying for their money as yet. He is sorry for the laborers and one man from whom he borrowed $15. If Mr. Farnham would lend them some money for a year or two, Monaghan and the congregation would promise to pay him with interest. He wishes the glass had come so that they might have the church open for Easter Sunday. He wishes to be remembered to the VicarGeneral Father Peter Kindekens, Mr. Farnham, the "little Priest", and students. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
