Fitzpatrick is at a loss to answer Lefevere's inquiry about Father J J Doherty because he does not know what to think of the matter himself. Appearances are very much against Doherty. His explanation has plausibility but Fitzpatrick thinks he cannot sustain him any longer without injury to religion. There is still another charge against Doherty distinct from the one which originated in Springfiel d, Massachusetts . It is said that he placed at the Academy of St. Vincent in New York, a young girl whom he had taken under his protection. The girl has sent a sworn deposition by which she declares there has been not the slightest impropriety of conduct. But opinion in New York seems to be very unfavorable to Doherty. The Superior of St. Vincent's Academy or Archbishop John Hughes could possibly give information on the subject. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
