Shea, John Gilmary, Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Father Edward Jacker, Pointe St. Ignace, Michigan, 1880 April 25
Scope and Contents
If Jacker sends a copy of the enclosed list to Ainsworth Rand Spofford, Librarian of Congress, offering such as he may select in exchange for Pierre Margry 's volumes, Shea thinks he will succeed. While sending off his Father Louis Hennepin circulars Shea dropped one to Jacker. Shea is completing his last revision. He does not think the case has ever been put more fairly for Hennepin, and Shea raises doubts as to Hennepin's responsibility for the 1697 edition. Shea has sent Jacker one batch of his little books. Has Jacker ever had poor Father Joseph M. Finotti 's "Wizard Clip"? As soon as Shea gets Hennepin off his hands, he must read Father Maes' Life of Charles Nerinckx, Shea trusts that Jacker's arm is better by this time. P.S. Jacker should tell Spofford that he is a student and antiquarian investigating the early history of the Northwest. Shea lists the documents relating to the Seigneuries in Canada and other works Jacker is to request. :: II-2-o A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
