SC-0016-III-A-1-0181Abstract
Handwritten letter from Dr. John P. Gray of the New York State Lunatic Asylum at Utica, to Dr. Stephen Van Rensselaer Bogart, physician at Sailors' Snug Harbor, acknowledging receipt of a letter and informing him that Patrick Rooney died on October 30 of stomach cancer. His papers had been given to Alexander Goodwin to take legal steps to collect his pension, but Gray explains that it was found that Rooney did not appear in the pension rolls and that he was at the Asylum under a fictitious name, so nothing was collected from which to pay the attorney's fees. Received while Captain Thomas Melville was governor at Sailors' Snug Harbor.Type Of Resource
