McQuaid, Bishop Bernard Joseph, Rochester, New York, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York, 1886 April 7
Scope and Contents
Bishop Richard Gilmour 's suggestion with regard to the Clan-na-gael is a good one. They cannot ask more of the Ancient Order of Hibernians than has been asked. It is satisfactory to McQuaid to have Father Terence J. Early 's claim brought before an ecclesiastical tribunal. Early is the plaintiff against the St. Patrick's Church Society. McQuaid names Father James F. O'Hare as the Church's ecclesiastical advocate. If what Early claims is right and just, it will have to be the same for all other claimants and other dioceses. If Early should present his case by the 16th, it will not be possible to answer until after Easter. The delay in Rome is occasioned by Msgr. Donatus Sbaretti waiting to hear from McQuaid to send him what he needs. McQuaid has written to several bishops for facts. A letter from Ella B. Edes went down on the Oregon and she wrote again. Last week McQuaid suspended Father George J. Osborne for several reasons. He is personally irretrievably bankrupt. McQuaid had no idea that his affairs were as bad as they are. P.S. Bishop Lawrence McMahon 's opinion is correct. News of the division is well aired in the Catholic newspapers. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. Photostat from the Archdiocesan Archives of New York
