Johnston thanks Brownson for his letter of the 4th, and agrees that it will be best for the Catholic Club to take him in hand. The influenza seems to be raging so that he will write to the secretary of the International Copyright League, asking him to write or telegraph towards the middle of the week if enough auditors can be got to make the readings in Chicago on the 13th and 14th a success. It is important that they should be. The tickets, as in New York and Boston, will doubtless be high. Johnston will write or telegraph more definitely in the middle of the week. He would hope, not so much for profits as other reasons, that the tickets in Detroit, if it is found convenient and proper for him to read there, will not be put down as low as twenty five cents, but those who are there will know best. His wife cannot go with him. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
