HIS LORDSHIP BISHOP CLEARY

The following letter . from his Lordship Bishop Cleary, written on May 7 at Highland Falls, New York, has been received by the Right Rev. Mgr. Mahoney, V.G. : My dear Monsignor,—l have been staying a part of the last fortnight or more with my valued old friend and college companion, Monsignor O'Keeffe, of Highland Falls, N.Y. For eight days I followed a course of treatment in a Catholic sanatorium near here, with excellent results, and have improved greatly in consequence, being now able to sleep for as many as seven hours consecutively each night—a very unusual thing indeed for me during the past five years — feeling quite fit for my voyage across the Atlantic. I leave New York in two days (May 9) by the French liner Patria, which goes to Naples by the Azores and Lisbon. I shall stay only a very short time in Rome, and proceed thence by Genoa and Paris to London and Dublin. I will cable or write to you from Rome. I expect Father Kehoe with me—he is now seeing friendsto Rome, where we arranged to go now, as this will probably be his only chance of ever seeing the* Holy Father and the Eternal City. Best wishes, etc'
