Mr. Fitzgibbon rejoices in the publishing of the works of Orestes A. Brownson whom he terms the great American philosopher, and hopes that the labors of Henry Brownson, in translating and making available the works will be fully appreciated since he is already grateful to him for his translation of "Balmes Fundamental Philosophy". He believes that people of culture will liberally subscribe for the work and that the fame of the philosopher will spread as the taste for solid learning increases among the educated classes. Fitzgibbon offers to subscribe and to attempt to place the work in the Chicago Public Library. He promises to try to get the book received by the press and to say something himself in the Chicago Citizen, and asks for information on the life and writings of Orestes Brownson to use in the Citizen of the following week. Fitzgibbon hopes to see Brownson soon and to hear from him as soon as possible. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 3pp.
