Keely informs McCloskey that it would not be prudent to enclose the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Albany, New York without all the battlements completely finished. All the stone work must be finished this fall with the exception of the towers and pinnacles. Keely ordered the stone and has the men working on it without McCloskey's consent, but he could not do otherwise. Although it will cost $2,000 more this year, it would have cost 20 per cent more next year beside injury to the slating. :: I-1-i A.L.S. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 1p. 8vo.
