Harson, M.J., Providence, Rhode Island, to Henry F. Brownson, Detoit, Michigan, 1888 March 20
Scope and Contents
Harson scarcely knows what particular facts to ask about, in references to Brownson's father's Orestes A. Brownson life, since the sketch he proposes to write must necessarily be short, but he wishes to use details which are not to be found in the usual sketches of his life, nearly all of which are made up bodily from The Convert. A comprehensive life is very much needed, and Father Isaac T. Hecker, to whom Herson had suggested the project, believes that the matter might be better treated by Brownson. He would like to have information about the brother and twin sister of Dr. Brownson and also when the degree of L.L.D. was conferred. Among the extracts from the press in Brownson's circular is one credited to the American Catholic News which Harson wrote and which originally appeared in the Providence Visitor. Has the Memorial Chapel at Notre Dame been completed, and what are its principle features? :: III-3-b A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
