Scope and Contents

He sent yesterday an article on "Catholic Union" for which he took the Pope's reply to the English disputation as the basis. Is it not curious that Ireland does not figure in it? Father Edward Murray received McMaster's paper. Murray saw an account of the Disputation reproduced from the London Tablet. The Pope's silence with regard to "Government" is ominous. He is looking to the United Catholic peoples. He hopes his paper is not too late since it may prove helpful to the formation of a Union in North America. He encloses the draft of the paper he drew up for Tracey. It will be well received in Canada. With the withdrawl of the English troops from Quebec this spring, there will sure be serious trouble before long. The people of Quebec consider the absorption of Canada inevitable. He sends a free translation of the which he considers very beautiful. McMaster's article on the Jubilee will on doubt be acted upon. Bishop Edward Horan was pleased with McMaster's article on Bishop Louis Lootens and was sorry that he could not come up to Kingston. The "True Witness" printed an article upon their arrival in Montreal that disgusted him. He sends some private letters with the manuscript. He is glad that McMaster has moved from Iryen Row. Murray would not like to edit a paper because he could not assume the responsibility and in his ignorance might create great damage to all with whom he associated. He would prefer waiting until the presidential arrangements are made even though he has felt dangerous currents setting in. :: I-1-o A.L.S. incomplete 4pp. 8vo.
