Hecker, Father Isaac Thomas, New York, New York, to Bishop Francis P. McFarland of, Hartford, Connecticut, 1867 February 16
Scope and Contents
He has just returned from Syracuse where he gave a lecture or McFarland's invitation would have been answered earlier. This morning he sent a telegram that Father George Deshon would lecture for McFarland on Sunday, February 24. His own engagements kept him from accepting. The Tracts were dispatched today by express. Everywhere they are growing in favor. About 400,000 have been circulated. In June they will have their store, press, and the like. The magnitude of the enterprise grows and, given a few years, it will be one of the most powerful means of instruction. Last Sunday evening he lectured in the Albany Cathedral for the Catholic Publications Society and tomorrow will give a lecture in St. Joseph's in New York. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
