He regrets his inability to comply with Richard Clark' s request. All that he knows of Bishop John Marcellus P. Verot he said in the pamphlet written at Verot's death. Some of the data he gave there was only second hand, and incorrect. Referring to the Bishop when yet a priest, he made him travel "afoot and fasting, for several years, after a first mass said in Baltimore, to Ellicott's Mills, where he sang a High Mass and preached." This, according to Father B.S. Piot of St. Charles College, was incorrect. Also what he said there of the Bishop's "taking off his shoes or some other part of his wearing apparel to give to some poor man he chanced to meet on the way" is at least questionable. Clavreul gave 1804 as the year when Verot was born, drawing only from inference. :: I-1-f L.Copy 2pp. 12mo.
