Harson wishes Brownson a happy new year and asks how he recovered from the fatigues of the Congress. Harson had hoped to hear that Brownson would soon pay that proposed visit East. The memorial volume is slow in getting out. He expected to see it two weeks ago. He asks Brownson to send him a copy of the Michigan Catholic containing the account of the Symposium at the Catholic Club. He intended to ask Brownson when in Detroit if their conversation on a Catholic Congress while in New York last winter had anything to do with suggesting the Baltimore Congress. Harson suggests regarding the writings of Orestes A. Brownson that the public who have heard of him want to know about the man and his life and desire a fair account and estimate of his writings. When Brownson makes his eastern visit, Harson wishes him to deliver two lectures or talks on this subject at the Brownson Lyceum and the Catholic Union of Boston. Invitations from other societies would follow and satisfactory arrangements made as to expenses. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
