Swembergh, Father Felix, Lawrence, Kansas, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1870 March 3

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-1-n

Scope and Contents

Father Swembergh sends two communications which he hopes McMaster will publish. One is a translation from the "Univers," and the other, is an original which will appear in French in the "Univers". He is a regular correspondent for the Univers, and for several other papers. He has written in the Catholic Mirror, of Baltimore, under the name of Catholicus. He feels that the only way to combat the present evil in the country is by use of the good press against the bad, and that it is the duty of every priest, if he can, to speak not only in the pulpit, but in the papers to oppose evil. He would like to do this without remuneration, but as he is a poor missionary, he is bound to depend on the products of his pen. He asks McMaster to publish his Communications, and then work out some arrangement for a subscription to the Journal, and possibly a little remuneration for writing other letters. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
