sent Richard Cardinal Cushing eighty-one dollars
for the needy missionaries to celebrate Masses for
the repose of his soul. Because he recieved the
sacrements of Penance and Holy [Eucharist?] a few
hours before his death, the Cardinal in his letter
to me was confident he was with God. He had
two constant fears, he didn't want to die in pri-
son as he was aware of his ailment and the estimated
time he had to live; and a fear of dying in a pauper's
grave. He was buried beside our Mother in Low-
ell. This was my promise to him fufilled.

Now to answer your
letter regarding the Council's function and object-
ives, I would be pleased to discuss them with you
orally or through correspondence. Secondly, re-
lative to the former student of your's, who wishes
to visit the person you inquired about and whom
you wanted to interview: his name is Henry Hardy
and he has asked me to inform you that he would
be happy to talk with you and see Debara or Connie
as she is nicknamed.

In closing, thank you for your
kindnesses.

Bye for now,
Michael F. Coggins, JR.
