 Item
Identifier: CMNT II-3-n

Scope and Contents

He wants to inform Bruté that when Baxter heard of Bruté's article in the Portico he felt that that publication was enough and would not write anything else. He expects that Bruté will have seen the two articles in the Intelligencer, and article signed by W. in reply to A. who had written of Leplace's impious conclusions. He replied to W. and W. is preparing a reply to him. Bruté asks if besides Lelande there was anyone else in Paris finding ground for atheism. Bruté has probably seen the prospectus of the Catholic Magazine to be published in New York by a Mr. Field. Father Benjamin Fenwick says he is inadequate to the task and that it shall not begin at all. Murphy, the printer at Georgetown, wants to publish a magazine. Bishop Cheverus took from grassi a copy of True Piety published in Ireland by Bishop Coppinger. It has excellent things and Grassi thinks they will be printed with additions. He sends regards to Father Maréchal., P.S. He apologizes for some ink blotches on the paper. :: II-3-n A.L.S. 2pp. 4to., 3
