Doane received Bayley's letter yesterday. He has not had the first sensation of homesickness, but has trouble on account of the studies in which he seems to be losing time. Doane wrote to Dr. John Henry Newman to ask if there was a Seminary in England where the needs of a convert in the way of study would be a better appreciated. Newman recommended Ushaw and asked further questions. Doane has not been very well. If Bayley is satisfied with his remaining here he will do so, but if Newman replies that Doane can devote his time more immediately to the study of theology there, he asks if he should make the change. Doane has been applied to by an ecclesiastic who has been charged to write a history of the decree of the Immaculate Conception to obtain everything that has appeared about it in the United States. Doane is happy with the name "Mr. Benjamin." He hopes to see Mr. Young on Friday, but has not yet seen Bayley's brother. He encloses a note asking if there is an archconfraternity of Notre Dame des Victoires at the Cathedral. Has Mr. Stewart let the controversy go? :: II-2-n A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
