The Bishop says he has just returned from the visitation of a good portion of the Diocese, and he encloses the Pastoral he intends to publish on the morrow. He plans to have a mass meeting in every parish to protest the occupation of Rome. He will have to go to Augusta to attend the funeral of Father G. Duggan, pastor there for many years, who died on Monday night. The Bishop says he intends to appoint Father W. J. Hamilton as pastor, but suggests that McMaster withhold this information and merely state that the people of that parish should put themselves in the Bishop's hands and that he will do whatever is good for them. He feels his responsibility most keenly and hopes that God will always help and be with him. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
