McQuaid, Bishop Bernard Joseph, Rochester, New York, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York, 1886 July 26
Scope and Contents
McQuaid encloses the official answer in the Father James S. O'Sullivan case no enclosure. Next week, McQuaid will take up his case. Father Terence J.? Early has been in Rochester working up his case. Early is afraid of having it come before an ecclesiastical tribune. McQuaid can agree to nothing short of removal of the case from the civil courts, and the dropping of the claim for interest. An important principle is at stake and has to be decided on grounds that will make law for the whole country. Corrigan is to return the Cardinal's letter. Archbishop John J. Williams returned to Boston last week. He enjoys Hemlock Lake immensely. McQuaid encloses a letter from Msgr. Denis J. O'Connell no enclosure asking to lend him Father Edward Hanna. This means McQuaid would lose him altogether. It is hard for his young diocese to make such a sacrifice. One thought makes McQuaid hesitate. He would like to see the American College in Rome free of the Italians. The Doctor is a little confused in his presentment of the case. Before McQuaid decides, he will await Corrigan's opinion. :: I-1-i A.L. Incomplete Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4 pp. 12 mo.
