Healy, James Augustine, Bishop of Portland, Portland, Maine, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1876 April 7
Scope and Contents
Canon Walsh was removed fairly from his parish, as being a stumbling block and continued source of scandal to his people. Walsh's letter states simply that he is under no censures but is too vain and foolish to sport the purple. His morals are unaccused but his temper and tongue are abusive and in all charity to him Healy says he is partially deranged. He has been forcibly given permission to travel and is not likely to receive a position in that diocese as long as Healy is Bishop. Cardinal Franchi should know of these facts and since Healy has destroyed McMaster's letter he may go to the Cardinal and freely give him Healy's name to the fact that Walsh has driven hundreds from the church. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
