Since last corresponding with Clarke, Parke's frail health has changed for the worse. Also he had to go to the missions again. He is thus cut off from his library and notes and cannot give Clarke a continuation of his "notes". He does not know when this abominable state of affairs will end. Parke believes that Clarke can be better aided by Father J.T. Sullivan who served at the Cathedral under Bishop Richard Vincent Whelan. Whereas Parke in the past was occupied with missionary labors, Sullivan has written a book on the Mass and enjoys such work. Clarke should tell Sullivan that he has seen Parke's printed "Notes" through Bishop Francis Janssens and on application has found Parke unable to publish or prepare further. Parke is ready to be of as much use as possible to any of the clergy who will help Clarke on the later period of his deceased prelates. P.S. Parke thinks Sullivan has already prepared a short life of the sort. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
