Toof, Johns., Memphis, Tennessee, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1874 July 12

Identifier: CMMA I-2-a

Scope and Contents

He encloses an excerpt from the proceedings of the Memphis School Board of July 10, 1874. He thinks that this is a strange document to come from a Catholic priest in that the priest favors free schools. At first he thought the article was a forgery but Father Dennis A. Quinn followed it with a card in its favor. In his mind, the giving of the Protestant School Board the control of the books, customs etc. of a catholic school will not make that school any better than the present public pauper schools. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 28vo.
