 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-a

Scope and Contents

He sends a report of new churches building in Washington written by William H. Dennis, a talented young writer, now attending Georgetown College. He was one of the founders of the Georgetown College Journal, writer on the Sunday Herald, editor of the Boy of the Period, all at 18 years of age. He would like to go on the pilgrimage if some newspaper would pay his expenses as correspondent. Should McMaster know of such a paper Egan would like to know. The boy's father was a Quaker, his Mother an Irish Catholic. Several prominent Catholics have asked if McMaster could come to Washington to lecture while Congress is in session. He asks for McMaster's decision. He encloses an article from last Sunday's Herald, the first of which was written by Dennis, the remainder by a Presbyterian, M H. Irwin. McMaster's discussion with Harlan has excited a great deal of attention and his subscribers are satisfied as to the result. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
