Identifier: CBAY II-2-n

Scope and Contents

Bayley's letter of September 16 reached Doane a few days since and he thanks Bayley for compliance with his request. Doane will be ordained in the title of the Mission. Doane's father Bishop William Doane has caused the certificate of his patrimony to be made out and sent to Bayley. His father has followed the dictates of his love; he seems farther than ever from the fold. Doane has passed his first examination, and received the tonsure and minor orders. A party of them has just returned from a pleasant two week journey to Loreto; Dr. English went with them. After this they retraced their steps and went to Assisi. After stopping for a short time at Viterbo, they returned to Rome. In two weeks more they will be in Rome and after a retreat, engaged again at the Roman College. Bayley's message for Father Anthony Cauvin and Mr. Berrian Doane will deliver when he sees them. They have not yet come to Rome. Doane expects a large portion of his family to be in Rome. He asks to be remembered to Bayley's mother, to Fathers McQuaid, Beaudevin and Venuta. P.S. Great hopes are entertained here of conversions in England consequent on the Denison decision. Dr. Manning is to spend two or three months in Rome this winter. Bayley is to tell Doane's good friend Young how glad he was to hear of his ordination. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
