Bayley, Bishop James Roosevelt, Newark, New Jersey, to Robert Seton, Rome, Italy, 1860 May 28

He has delayed writing in the hope he would be able to inform Seton of the safe arrival of the picture, but the ship has not as yet arrived. As Willy William Seton 4. leaves this week, Bayley takes the opportunity to write. Upon receipt of Seton's letter he applied to the Archbishop who kindly grant-an exeat so that now Seton belongs to the Diocese of Newark. If Father McCloskey wishes, Bayley will send a formal document authorizing whatever Bishop may be designated to confer upon Seton the different orders as he is called to them. Bayley has granted Henry Braun, a student of the diocese at present at Paris, permission to go to Rome and finish his studies at the American College in Rome. Bayley will forward the money for Braun's "pension" by Patrick Hennesy of Mt. St. Mary's, a student of Newark diocese, who will proceed to Rome next autumn. Bayley has transferred Seton Hall College from Madison to South Orange and he intends to unite a preparatory seminary to it. He has given the present College at Madison to the Sisters of Charity for a Motherhouse. He sends his regards to Seton's rector and to his young friend, Michael Augustine Corrigan of whom he received so favorable an account. P.S. He has just commenced printing Bishop Simon Gabriel Bruté 's sketches of the French Revolution with a brief biography. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
