Haskins, Father George F., Boston, Massachusetts, to Father James Roosevelt Bayley, New York, New York, 1844 November 7

 Item
Identifier: CBAY II-2-n

Scope and Contents

Haskins asks Bayley to send him his books as soon as he can. Haskins is temporarily at the Bishop's house. He will probably not be stationed anywhere till after the arrival of Bishop Benedict Joseph Fenwick . Conversions are of daily occurrence though none as yet among Haskins' own relatives. The present political crisis is one for the Catholic Faith as well. The Whigs, if beat, will grow desperate. Already Daniel Webster has declared himself in favor of the Native American Party . Horrible stories are circulated about the Pope's intentions of subjugating this country and they are daily expecting a general persecution. Orestes A. Brownson has made his abjuration. His conversion greatly startles and amazes the Protestants. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
