In the absence of Archbishop (Patrick John Ryan) Loughlin answered (Seton)'s telegram offering to write an article on (Giovanni Battista) De Rossi.

Scope and Contents Loughlin apologizes for not answering McFarland more promptly. He saw Archbishop John McCloskey twice but forgot to ask him the question.
