Conrardy makes Henry's acquaintance through Miss Ruth ? Elbers ? . He would have been happy to have known Henry's illustrious father, Orestes A. Brownson . Conrardy had heard of Brownson before he had come to this country and had known that he was a convert. Conrardy had read the "Convert" and the "American Republic" but has been unable to procure the Review. He will ask Archbishop Francis N. Blanchet of Oregon but if Henry has some numbers he can spare, Conrardy would greatly appreciate them, and would return them. He thanks Henry for the Rambler. A good book is nearly the only consolation for a missionary living among Indians and whites who are no better than the redskins. He would prefer any book on a religion topic especially one on Apologetics. The priests here are laboring among a populations of white people very indifferent to religion, although many ask only to see the truth to adhere to it. The Methodist and Baptist preachers take advantage of this fact by going to camp meetings. Catholics priests are also welcome by many. Any books can do as much good as a flying visit. Any books of Brownson would be most welcome. Conrardy does not understand Italian but father likes English publications. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
