McQuaid has talked with Father John P. Stewart about Father Richard L. Burtsell's trip to Rome. Father Terrence J. ? Early said he would gladly pay the expenses for Burtsell to fight his case. McQuaid also learned that Early made a will leaving what he is worth to Bishop Stephen V. Ryan, on condition that Ryan fight this case in Rome to the end. Early has an incurable disease and will die in a year or two. Should Burtsell go to Rome, McQuaid will send Father James F. O'Hare. It is a long while since McQuaid heard from Via Mercede. Ryan took an Italian priest who can do the translating. McQuaid would have small chance if he did not have the law and right on his side. He expected Bishop Edgar Wadhams to visit him this week. He will visit Bishop Richard Gilmour week after next. Father Edward McGlynn's crazy utterances last Sunday finished him. Some who were going astray are finding out that Corrigan was right in his firm course. The Irish World in its last issue was very strong. McQuaid's impression is that Pope Leo XIII will cover in his next Encyclical the whole doctrine of property. This will settle Henry George's theories. Were there any hisses at the Papal celebration? The dispatches said there were, but that may have been an invention of the enemy. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo. 8 '
