Identifier: CBAY II-2-n

Scope and Contents

Last Saturday, the "Admiral" landed at Havre. The evening train brought Doane to Paris. Doane had two days work in Paris before coming here. On Sunday, Doane presented Bayley's letter to the Superior. He was sent to be examined in philosophy. Thus far Doane is delighted with everything, and is sure he will be here. Logic and metaphysics are no doubt excellent studies, but it seems they will be of little use in America. The voyage lasted 37 days. In Paris, Doane met several French priests, one of whom took him to Notre Dame des Victoires, where there was sort of Catholic Methodism. The next day Doane spent mostly at Saint Sulpice. Doane has found here three Englishmen and one Canadian. He asks to be remembered to Fathers McQuaid, Beaudevin and Venuta. Doane delivered Beaudevin's letter and Venuta's copy of Cardinal Lambruschini's treatise on the Immaculate Conception is being returned to New York. The Fathers here are happy to do something for America. Doane encloses a little slip which Bayley should send to Burlington. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
