Scope and Contents

He encloses a circular addressed to all the Bishops of the United States, which he had intended to give to the public, but thought it too soon. However, he was afraid it would be published by others and sends it to McMaster, leaving its publication up to him, with the hope that it may have a good effect at Washington and elsewhere. He was bound to ask for the approbation and support of all the Bishops and has already received that from Archbishop Martin John Spalding of Baltimore. The approbations and proofs for rights to Indian Catholic reservation will be sent to Father Peter J. DeSmet for publication and for evidence. The copies of the pamphlet were sent to the President, which his secretary acknowledged. Copies were also sent to Hon. Delano, Hon. Felix R. Branet, but no acknowledgements have been received. He asks God's help for success. McMaster has the whole history of the fact and may act as he thinks best. He wrote non imprimatur in many of his pamphlets, but did not in others. Bishop Eugene O'Connell of Marysville, Calfornia will have his printed. P. S. He was pleased with McMaster's remarks on the Episcopal House of Baltimore and suggests that some remarks be made concerning the poor mothers who believe their children cleared from sin, when they were not?
