Scope and Contents

McQuaid encloses his vote adhering to the choice of the Bishops of the Province. He will not attend the meeting. After finishing his episcopal work, he will undertake no more until he knows his future. Rome's treatment of his in the affair fills him with bitterness. Since Rome will not protect a Bishop's dignity, he will protect his own honor. On his return from Rome, McQuaid published the decision of the Propaganda, not dreaming it was to be kept a secret. There has been a change in sentiment toward McQuaid and Father Louis A. Lam bert, in Rome. His friends expect him to be sent back, to Waterloo. New York, over McQuaid's head. Father Richard L. Burtsell 's visit to Waterloo was for that purpose. Protestants and some bad Catholics are working with him. From Waterloo Burtsell went to Hornellsville to the rededication of Father Early's church. Bishop John Moore preached. McQuaid would save Rome from a blunder in sending Lambert back to Waterloo. On top of all comes the blunder of Archbishop Patrick John Pyan . His allusions are all over the country. O'Conner had intended to leave the diocese. Please return Father John J. Hickey's letter. McQuaid sends some newspapersf. These disturbances of all harmony in the discese are patted on the back by Rome. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York
