Bakel, Father J A., St. Joseph's, Perry County, Ohio, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1871 September 11
Scope and Contents
He has sent McMaster copies of Catena Aurea for his inspection. Bokel is not the author, but only the agent. St. Joseph's college is the publisher, the book having been printed in Zanesville. He looks upon McMaster as the champion of Papal infallibility and greatly admires him. The Freeman's Journal is the only one to receive copies of the book and they may feel at liberty to make any comments on it. Bokel does not wish for his name to appear, but McMaster may use it at his discretion. Bishop Sylvester H. Rosecrans of Columbus has approved the book. It is to sell for $12 a dozen for bound copies; paper covers, $9 a dozen. P.S. He will appreciate McMaster's private opinion regarding Catena Aurea. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo 12mo.
