Jannes has just received Brownson's translation of Tarducci's Life of Columbus and is much indebted to him for the present. Whatever Brownson says of the style of the author, Jannes much prefers to read the work in his English than in the best Italian. He congratulates Brownson upon having offered to the American public so useful a work, just at the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America. It is a new service to the Catholic cause. Jannes was asked by some Italian friends to be present at a Catholic Congress of social science, which will meet at Genoa in October, 1892, precisely in order to celebrate the memory of Columbus and he would like to have Brownson come to Europe for this occasion. This summer he will go to Texas, where his eldest son last year bought a farm near Abilene, and in September will make a trip through Mexico. He would like to pay Brownson a visit in Detroit if he has the time. Baron de Ravignan and Viscount des Bassyres de Richemont told him how kind Brownson's reception was. They were very favorably impressed that the son was so worthy of the name of his illustrious father. Brownson's pamphlet on the irreligion of the Craft of Masonry is excellent. Jannes was much interested in that subject some years ago, and it has lost nothing of its actuality in Europe or America. But if Jannes passes through Charleston, he would not pay a visit to Albert Pike. He sends Brownson a discourse on the social question. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
