McQuaid starts in a half hour for the Lake to see how things are getting along. It was publicly stated that Father Richard L. Burtsell himself was to go to Rome and Father Terence J. ? Early was to foot the bill. Corrigan's right course would be to answer yes to Burtsell's request to go Rome, provided Rome wishes it. McQuaid wrote to Ella B. Edes that if the "combine" in Rome made any attempt to injure him, he would go immediately. He will not have any behind-the-door business. Maurice Francis Egan did not take the meaning out of McQuaid's letter. McQuaid was led to believe Egan was unfriendly to him. Egan's letter shows that he had no such intention. Did Corrigan prohibit Burtsell from selling his pamphlet until corrected and approved? P.S. McQuaid is glad about what Archbishop Patrick Ryan said of his namesake of Buffalo Bishop Stephen V. Ryan. McQuaid could have got their province to take concerted action but for fear of him and Brooklyn. :: I-1-i A.L.S. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo.
