Montgomery encloses two pamphlets and also an advertisement enclosures not present, to be inserted in some appropriate place in the paper for one month. The bill is to be sent to Montgomery. The statistics in the pamphlets are doing very iffective work in California. Montgomery regards the school question with such concern that he has laid two law books aside and is devoting his time exclusively to the matter. At present his efforts are being devoted to raising enough money from voluntary contributions to place these statistical pamphlets in the hands of every California voter. Several hundred pamphlets are being mailed daily. The result of the Oakland meeting was a report, given in an Oakland paper, which was not favorable to Montgomery religiously, politically, or educationally. This report, which may be found at the end of the pamphlets has astonished and alarmed many of the friends of the New England System in California. He also is sending in a separate envelope, $6. for two subscriptions to the Freeman's Journal. Very few people, priests or laymen seem to comprehend the importance of the school question and for this reason is to be the more thanked for the manly stand he has always made on the matter and for the assistance and encouragement he has given Montgomery in the past. P.S. One year ago the previous August, Montgomery sent 250 copies of the Poison Fountain to Wm. O'Shea. After receiving no answer to a letter and a telegram, O'Shea finally acknowledged the receipt of the books but has not written since. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
