Brownson will recall that Father Fanning called at his office and traded the Encyclopaedia Brittanica for Brownson's Works and Webster's latest Unabridged for Father B.J. Wermers. Having some books with him that were an encumbrance, he hired a typist named Bryan on the suggestion of Father O'Reilly, and left the books and another box which he had ordered to be sent in Bryan's care. After Father Fanning left Detroit, Bryan overcharged him for the typing, extorted money from his housekeeper for express charges, and then sent only the first box of books. Brownson is asked to take possession of the books if possible, and to let Father Fanning knows what happens. He will return to the United States after he has been to Rome and Palestine. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 5pp. 8vo.
