Fagan cannot consent to the publication of Cardinal John Simeoni's letter, since it is a private letter and is not intended for publication. The portion Fagan already published is sufficient and conclusive in the obligation or dispensation of wax candles. He calls attention to a mistake made in the Freeman's Journal of Mar. 8th, in reference to the appointment of Father John McMullen as administrator by Bishop Thomas Foley, of Chicago, Illinois. The lamented Bishop had full authority to appoint such an administrator as can be seen in the records of the Second Plenary Council of Baltimore, pages 67 and 68, Decrees 96 and 97, under de Episcopis. Fagan regrets the late action of Bishop Peter Joseph Baltes, of Alton, Illinois in connection with McMaster's valuable Journal and hopes Baltes will soon see his error and make amends. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
