Toohey sent Hudson a map of the two parishes, Lead and Deadwood. The lion's share of work falls on Toohey. Father James Gleeson will likely get more from Deadwood and Fort Meade in gold than Toohey will draw from his entire parish. There are a great many cities on the map. Some have 5 or 6 cabins. The only inhabitant found was a negro. These so called cities may amount to something in time and several of our Fathers will find work. Custer City has begun to revive. Several have gone from this neighborhood to the Southern Hills. Soon they should be able to support a priest as the accounts sent back are encouraging. The festival which will be held next week in Lead features an Irish Blackthorn mounted with a gold head and silver ferula to be contested for by 3 men, 1 from Lead, 1 from Cental and 1 from Deadwood. Toohey expects to dispense with the Church debt and have a balance for a pastoral residence. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
