In answer to Brownson's kind favor to meet him and a number of other Catholic gentlemen to complete the preliminary arrangements for a Congress of Catholic laymen in Baltimore in November, Benziger regrets to say that his health has been so poor of late that he could not well venture the trip at present. Also, his only partner is in Europe and he could hardly leave the business. He wishes every success and hopes to be present at the meeting in Baltimore. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
