McQuaid entrusts Father Edward J. Hanna with the letters to Corrigan from the Cardinal and the one to McQuaid containing the decision. He also sends Father Louis A. Lambert 's Sommario along with his own and a copy of the Rochester Herald containing an account of McQuaid's address the day of his return and Father Edward McGlynn 's speech. McQuaid is not to be held responsible for what McGlynn says. That one address was all McQuaid said in public. Everyone in this country knows that from the outbreak of the trouble McQuaid has been misrepresented. All he said was that he followed Propaganda's instructions. His name became a by-word among English people in Rome. When he received word of the decision of the Sacred Congregation he did not dream that the decision meant something else than what it says. Now the decision is set to one side and McQuaid is to let Lambert choose his own place or go back to Waterloo. What will Americans says when they read: a the Propaganda's letter to McQuaid; b the decision of the Sacred Congregation; c the letter of the Cardinal. They will say Rome does not know its own legislation. Lambert knew there was not a first class mission vacant, so he will have to go back to Waterloo. Part of the scheme is to throw Waterloo into disorder and drive out the incumbent. Three men have been at this work since Lambert's removal. They are James Kelly, William Dempsey, and Christian Marshall, encouraged by two priests, James O'Connor and William Morrin . They invited McGlynn to come to Waterloo to abuse the authorities at Rome and the ordinary of the diocese. This was a scandal of the first magnitude. Kelly and Dempsey refused to pay pew-rent to Father John J. Hickey and for these two offenses they wererequired to take back seats, but they refused. Father Richard L. Burtsell was called by them and he came to Waterloo to concoct mischief. In the meantime, McQuaid placed Kelly and Dempsy under interdict. Burtsell prepared notice of appeal to Rome which they signed. Burtsell stayed three days stirring up the bad and ill-disposed of the congregation and some Protestants joined in. It has been common talk that Lambert completes his victory by returning to waterloo. McQuaid believes the Holy Father himself is engineering the affair. He will make no change from his first offer as either place is better than Lambert deserves. Lambert's going to Waterloo means McQuaid must leave the diocese. Nothing will cause the Holy Father to pause except a joint letter from Corrigan and Archbishop John J. Williams of Boston. Some Bishops wrote to Rome in Lambert's favour. The Cardinal writes of harmony in the diocease, but lambert alone caused the disturbance. Hanna has McQuaid's confidence and can be trusted. Rome may sacrifice the honor of a Bishop, but McQuaid will defend his honour as a man. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo. 10 Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York
