Toohey, C.S.C., Father John M., Lead City, Dakota Territory, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1880 April 8
Scope and Contents
Hudson's letter received. The breviary brought by Father Gleeson is very handy and just what he wanted. A copy of "The Irish Race" received. Toohey returned from Fort Meade, 20 miles from Deadwood, where he introduced Father James Gleeson C.S.C. to his parish. Father Gleeson is giving one Sunday a month to the soldiers. General Sturgis is a Catholic. He was converted after the death of his son, who fell in the Custer massacre. Toohey requests the back issues of the Ave Maria containing the articles on Army Chaplains, to send to the General as several of the soldiers are Catholics. Father Gleeson became ill from his trip on the stage from Sidney, and was hospitalized. Gleeson could not say Mass Easter Sunday. The Deadwoodites are pleased with Father Gleeson. Toohey has 25 pages of "Raphael" translated. Next week he is again going to search for Rockford. Father Frere has joined the bank for France. His beard may be a temptation for the communists to elect him chief. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo
