Two weeks ago Pax sent his manuscripts and the historical statements of Father Eugene Vetromile, S.J. , belonging to the episcopal archives, but he has heard nothing from Clarke. The statements of Vetromile should be sent back as soon as possible but Pax's manuscripts may be held as long as needed but he should indicate when he will return it. Clarke asked Pax to translate Father Oswald Moosmuller's, O.S.B., "America before Columbus", Pax is willing to do so with Clarke's agreement. Moosmuller's article because of its size, would fill a book but could be shortened to 14 good chapters. The author quoted 100 old books. This forms a new production, although some of his remarks were found in Clarke's Bishop Eric's life and others. But altogether it forms a new, unknown Catholic Church History or lives of bishops and priests. In Pax's humble opinion the books used were more important than all the books Clarke has used or will use in his "Lives of Deceased Prelates" when completed. Therefore, Pax wants to hear from Clarke whether he should begin the rough translation. If so Pax wants Clarke to clothe in good English style his translation leaving the order, meaning of sentences, etc. that Pax would give it. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
