Brent has received a copy of the Civilta Catholica from his friend Father Barotti, who pointed out the catalogue of the dignitaries in attendance at the opening of the Ecumenical Council. Brent states that Father Barotti is of the opinion that a publication of the catalogue in this country would be acceptable to the clergy and laity. He offers to translate in case McMaster does not regularly receive the magazine, and will have the translation in New York in time for the next issue of the magazine, if McMaster accepts his proposition. at any rate, McMaster will understand that Brent has a high opinion of the Freeman's Journal. Brent also states that Father Barotti has offered to cull out fresh and interesting items from the Civilta, which Brent will translate and forward to McMaster, in the event that he does not receive the Civilta regularly. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
