Brownson's letter of March 25th about the Carroll Centenary was forwarded to the Bishop in San Francisco, but he was there only two weeks and returned for Easter, since being very busy. He lives too far away from the civil and ecclesiastical center to know much about what is doing there, and Brownson's letter is the first and only intimation of such a Congress. He likes the idea very much. If some few will devote themselves to the fit preparation of men and matters, it will do great good, if they have a safe guide and one who desires to see the good done and not merely a volume made. He is a recluse, tilling his sparsely planted garden and shunning as much as he can all publicity. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 3 pp. 8 vo.
