Page thanks McMaster for Bishop James Gibbons volume which he says supplies a great want in the Catholic literature of that day. The government is no longer the government of the fathers of the Republic, due to the malignant causes so evident in the decade from 1850-1860. The immediate problems of the next decade is for the people to replace the government with another without plunging the country into anarchy. The problem is to make the masses of people see this too, since, the Constitution has been "Public schooled" out of existence. Our present education neglects showing of children how to fight passion. Page asks McMaster for a picture of himself and also asks him to recommend a good, honest, German or Irish Catholic young man who wishes to study law. Page cannot offord a secretary in his own law office and so is giving a reliable young man a chance to come to Texas and study law, while working in the office at the same time. For reference, Page names Bishop C. M. Dubuis, Bishop of Galveston, Texas, who leaves for Rome the following day. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 5pp. 8vo.
