Hickey, P. V., New York, New York, to Father Thomas E. Walsh, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1884 March 25

He sends a brief record of the performance of the duty he was charged with in the name of Notre Dame University. He asked Right Rev. John Loughlin Bishop of Brooklyn to decorate Patrick C. Keely with the Laetare Medal, but previous engagements prevented him. The Vicar General, Father William Keegan, presided. He made a beautiful address. Keegan also read the poetical address which the Laureate of the University sent with the medal. The ceremony attracted much favorable attention. :: XI-1-c A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
