Corrigan, Bishop Michael Augustine, Newark, New Jersey, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City, New Jersey, 1879 January 1

Father M.H. Schaeken will go to St. Joseph's Church next week to act as Seton's first assistant. He is a good and exemplary priest who studied at Louvain where he was ordained two or three years ago. He is very neat and systematic, fond of attending the sick and visiting the schools. P.S. Since writing the above, Corrigan has received Seton's letter. The present arrangement is more desirable than if Father James A. McFaul were to go to Hudson City. Father Schaeken is more tractable and obliging; McFaul was appointed yesterday to replace Father Michael J. Holland at Trenton, the latter replacing Schaeken in Newark. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
