Shea, John Gilmary, Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Father Daniel J. Spillard, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1884 February 29
Scope and Contents
Dennis and James Sadlier sent Shea a note of Spillard's to them, which makes Shea regret extremely the offence given. As a rule they Catholic Almanac print the reports of the Bishops as they come, and never alter except by the consent of the Bishop, for which they have to write. Messrs. Sadlier do not compile the Almanac, Shea as editor knows nothing of their business correspondence. This year the Bishop of Fort Wayne refused to furnish a report; Shea wrote to every parish and institution. From Notre Dame he asked a list of all Fathers belonging to the Community in this country and made up his report scrupulously from this. That he could go wrong in following it, he never suspected. Many, however, write to Messrs. Sadlier on business and say something intended for the Editor, which the clerks in the book store are apt to overlook. Shea alters spelling or post office addresses as desired, but the Bishop of his Secretary will often in the last proof restore the erroneous spelling they have adopted. :: II-2-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
