Identifier: CMMA I-1-n

Scope and Contents

The writer sends a couple of articles which he thinks McMaster might print. The Jesuit corrects somewhat the miscellany reprinted in the Truth Teller and in it Bishop Benedict Fenwick gives his account of the Council of 1829. He asks McMaster to preserve the articles, which he may not print. He is busy as a bee arranging his "Museum" in all its departments; much material he has left with Fr. McClellan and some in Yorkville and New York City. His hardest task is to arrange and sort the gems, treasures, and curiosities. He has not arranged with Donahue about printing. The general title of 10 or more volumes will be as you printed it … "Monahan's American Catholic Museum". Every work will have under this its special title for instance: "Gems" and be sold seperately. All the proposed departments are rapidly getting into order. "Summaries of Controversies" is most difficult, requiring much study, though he has been at it for 10 years. For this work he has the controversy between H. W. Beecher's father and Bishop Fenwick prepared and is awaiting D. Corcoran the "Splendid Rebel who has promised him a copy of it which McClellan informs he will forward soon. His "Theology" would be incomplete without that: "On the Apocrypha". McClellan sent him all the "Bulletins" about the Catacombs which will be included under the "Summary". Besides the Summaries, the "Portfolios", "reminiscences", "rare and precious reprints" will not be neglected. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
