Timon, John, Bishop of, Buffalo, New York, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1852 November 24
Scope and Contents
Archbishop Francis Patrick Kenrick of Baltimore has received back the Catechism from Rome with some few corrections. The Archbishop wishes him to get Patrick J. Kennedy to publish it with corrections. The words "By order of the National Council" can appear on the frontispiece and his approbation for his archdiocese. Mr. Kennedy has a copyright but at Bishop Timon's request, he gave it up. Bishop Timon feels that Kennedy has labored much and, as yet, has had no remuneration. He also sells cheaply. John Murphy of Baltimore publishes that catechism, sells it at 2.87 per thousand and says he gains nothing. This catechism is almost as large as the Baltimore one and sells for 2.50 per thousand and Kennedy says he could sell for 2.25 after the first expense. He would be thankful, if, at least for some time, the Bishop would make him his printer for this and order the number required for his diocese if he adopts the catechism and permit him to put the Bishop's approbation on those destined for him. He sends a copy, as it is now, with that supposed approbation. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
