Walworth, Father Clarence A., Albany, New York, to Sister Stanislaus, 1891 December 17

 Item
Identifier: CANY I-1-h

Scope and Contents

Walworth received her letter and regrets being absent from the funeral of Bishop Edgar P. Wadhams. The Bishop was a kinsman and he had known him long and familiarly for fifty years. He understands that Sister Stanislaus intends to collect materials for a biography and asks him for letters he may have from the Bishop. He thinks he has two or three but cannot part with the one he received this autumn for a while. He hopes that she will hold to her purpose and have the biography done in her community. If so, he can furnish information about his career in the Protestant Episcopal Seminary in New York. He was with him also for half a year when he was deacon in the Episcopalian Church having jurisdiction over Essex Country. As Catholics they were associated at Albany until he became Bishop. He asks her to write again and he may be able to help her. The Bishop's life should be written since he was by no means a common sort of character. :: I-1-h A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
