Identifier: CBAY II-2-n

Scope and Contents

O'Callaghan received Bayley's note and enquiries and is ready to assist his researches in every way. He has sent a volume of historical documents to the Archbishop which may be of interest to Bayley. In regard to the Petition of 1806, he can only find the entry in the Senate Journal of January 29,1806, which asks that the legislature on petition of Andrew Morris and other inhabitants of New York City professing to be of Roman Catholic persuasion, pass an act annulling the religious test enjoined by law. O'Callaghan cannot find the petition among the Senate files and Secretary's office. It would furnish names of many Catholics who resided in New York at that early period. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
