Corcoran, Father James A., Overbrook, Pennsylvania, to Henry F. Brownson, Detroit, Michigan, 1876 May 24

Scope and Contents

Corcoran received a letter from Orestes A. Brownson last month in which there were several points which Corcoran would have answered had he not suffered a pulmonary attack. He sends condolences to Henry and his family on the loss of the great, good man. Corcoran was in doctor's hands when he heard the sad news and was grieved that he was deprived for ever of the opportunity, so kindly furnished by Brownson, of renewing their friendly intercourse that had been interrupted by the civil war, and the stranger, perhaps angry, feelings that grew out of it on both sides. In his letter, Brownson desired Corcoran to ask Henry to contribute to the American Catholic Quarterly Review, which Corcoran hereby does most cordially. It would not be fair to ask anything for the July number as the intervening time is so short, even had he not on hand too many articles. But Corcoran shall always feel greatly obliged if Henry can write at his leisure for future numbers. If Orestes A. Brownson's article which he expected to have ready for the July number be available, Gorecran shall be happy to insert it. Even in a fragmentary condition it is worth preserving in the Review. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
