John Bishop of Charleston: Augusta, Georgia, to Father Simon Gabriel Brute: Emmitsburg, Maryland, 1827 May 2, England

 Item
Identifier: CMNT II-3-o

Scope and Contents

England writes to Brute in great haste while on visitation. He has received the two letters and sent them to the Miscellany. A Rev. B.A. Cavanaugh whom he had the misfortune to receive into his diocese and ordain deacon, he understands, has been received into the diocese if New York. On the suggestion of Bishop Jean Dubois he thinks that he may now be at Emmitsburg. England believed the Father O. Hallinan to be a vitreous priest. On the visitation he found the reverse. He has not been banished from the diocese. He finds that Cavanaugh is a man he would never promote to the priesthood. Besides the testimony of the people he found that he left unpaid bills for service given to him by England's direction. He is writing to the Bishop of New York and leaves Brute permission to use his opinion that Cavanaugh is not worthy to be a priest. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - English - 1p. 4to. 3
