McQuaid is still waiting for the report of Father Richard L. Burtsell's testimony in the McGuire case. Cardinal John Simeoni is timorous to a frightful degree. Burtsell has avowed himself friend and counsel of Father Edward McGlynn. Burtsell said McGuire did no wrong in attending the Anti-Poverty meetings. McQuaid now feels that it is Corrigan's duty to forbid Catholics to be present at these meetings, and make it a reserved case. McQuaid advises Corrigan to prepare a letter instancing some of McGlynn's worst expressions at these meetings. Corrigan should prepare the letter carefully, consulting one or more safe advisers before culminating it. Father Terence J. ? Early's case is as good as settled. In a few days, Ella B. Edes will have all translated and the Propaganda will direct Early to remove his case from the civil calendar. McQuaid has not heard for some days of Father Louis A. Lambert or what he proposes to do. McQuaid feels that Lambert will insist on his case going into the general congregation. Edes has written to Corrigan about Cardinal James Gibbons' letter against any condemnation of Henry George's writings. She has also sent Corrigan a copy of McGlynn's telegram to the Propaganda declaring that he had no case before the Propaganda. Where then does Burtsell's office of counsel come in? McQuaid has great fun about the University. Bishop John J. Keane let out that he expected Fathers Edward A. Pace and Edward J. Hanna to be professors. McQuaid said that Keane might have Pace but McQuaid would have Hanna and that he hoped in time to have honorable competition between Rochester and Washington. McQuaid's audience with the Holy Father was exceedingly pleasant. He introduced Charles Dana of the Sun, who spoke warmly in commendation of Corrigan's course. Corrigan should tell Father Charles McDonnell not to delay about the typewriter. P.S. Msgr. Denis J. O'Connell is exceedingly annoyed by Father Thomas A. Hayes of Santa Fe who came two months ago and planted himself here as of right. It would be too bad for the College to support him, Hayes doing nothing for the college or himself. McQuaid writes of this at O'Connell's request. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo. 10 Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York
