Ward is glad to be in touch with Brownson again. He does not now write literary notices in the Times or Advertiser, though he writes frequent editorials in the Times. The papers Brownson should send his report to in Boston are the Herald, the Post and the Transcript. Ward is on the active staff of the Herald and the copy for it should be addressed to him, the Transcript and Post copies sent direct to them. Perhaps the Boston Globe should also be included, as it reaches a large Roman and Irish constituency, while the Herald reaches the best elements in both connections. Ward will give Brownson a column and perhaps an editorial. He should not overlook the New York Evening Post. But outside the papers he mentions in Boston, except for the regular Roman Catholic papers, copies would be thrown away. Ward is deeply interested in the tendency of the Roman Catholic Church to take American positions and is eager to see Brownson's introduction and to read his larger paper. If the bishops and clergy would take more clearly the American position and keep the Church in good accord with American sentiment, a great future is before it and it will have a helpful influence on the country. If Brownson would look into a recent book of his, "The Church in Modern Society", he will see why he says this. His Church and the American Anglican Church are the only religious bodies that have an institutional character. Ward is glad that Brownson is engaged on a memoir of his father Orestes A. Brownson. He has always felt that it was needed, and when it is out he will be glad to keep in its appreciation by the public. The Rev. Dr. C. H. Leonard, professor in Tufts College, a Universalist knew Dr. Brownson intimately and could give some important reminiscences. His address is College Hill, Mass. Ward will be very glad of confidential, inside points, and if Brownson will send them, he can probably use them in editorials in the Boston Herald, the New York Times, and the Christian Union. Brownson's Church showed up better in the recent Congress than at any time in its previous American history, and Ward said that much in the Herald at the time. When Brownson comes to Boston, Ward wishes he would come directly to his house and stay until he leaves. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 4 pp. 12 mo
