Shea thanks McGean for the $45. His volume is now on its way to patrons and subscribers. He had made a start on volume IV, when sickness invaded his household. He has indexed, under the different dioceses, more than a hundred volumes of Catholic newspapers between 1843 and 1852. It is disheartening to find that while he works others propose to kill the U.S. Catholic Historical Society . No. 8 is printed. No. 11 is in hand. He is working on No. 12. As the Council stopped the meetings he lays out to have a meeting and paper read. His wife is past the crisis and improving. :: II-2-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
