Doane, George H., Rome, Italy, to Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, Newark, New Jersey, 1856 August 6
Scope and Contents
As the time is drawing near for Doane's ordination to the subdiaconate, which will take place at Christmas, the Rector is anxious to arrange about the title under which Doane will be ordained. The Rector thinks Doane should be ordained under the title of Patrimony. In the letter which Doane encloses, he has asked his father Bishop William Doane to send a certificate to Bayley of Doane's possession of $5,000 in property. If his father does not, Doane will be ordained under the title of the Mission. In about 2 weeks he expects to be examined for the tonsure and minor orders. Toward the first of November Doane will need Bayley's paper. Doane hopes Bayley has received the letters he has sent through several people. In a week they are to migrate to the country. Doane has been very well this summer. He can hardly believe it is a year since he found himself with Bayley. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
