Archbishop Ireland considers the enclosed circular all-sufficient. Among the gentlemen to be invited to the Detroit Conference, please number the Editor of the German Catholic paper there, who last year proposed a general congress of American Catholics as the proper thing instead of a sectional congress of German Catholics. He is told that there is also a German Catholic physician in Detroit who might be invited. It is most important to secure a strong German adherence. Please obtain for personal use the reports of the National Conference of Associated Charities, which is much the same as the plan needed. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
