Fay expresses sympathy for Father Martin Marco who is seriously ill. Fay called the evening before on Marco to find Dr. Blumuch present. The doctor suggested that Fay write to Lefevere, who had ordered the immediate removal of Marco, that due to Marco's serious condition, the doctor would not be responsible for the consequences. The day Marco fell ill he got as far as Mrs. McNamara's home, an attempt to get a conveyance to take him to Fay's house failed. Some bad-hearted persons, Fay fears, have written Lefevere about Marco whom they are disposed to injure whenever the shade of a chance offers. He has been told their efforts will fail. Fay regrets that the priest's house adjoining St. Andrew's Grand Rapids, is not furnished to accommodate the clergy, both residing and transient; it would seem a necessary improvement to make it so. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
