 Item
Identifier: CBAY II-2-n

Scope and Contents

Kelly has a lot in Sharon Valley, one acre and 4 perches and hopes to have it fenced in and paid for next month. He plans to have a big gathering there September 27. He asks the Bishop to let him know by earliest possible convenience if he may expect Bayley for a few days visit at that time. Bayley could come to Millerton September 26 from whence they could drive to Sharon. Kelly would have the burial-ground blessed after Mass. At Falls Village Bayley would consecrate burial ground No. 2. Kelly's three "basilicas" are in grand style, and all folks pious after a triduum by Father Smulders. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
