Pax, Father George, Williamsville, New York, New York, to Richard Henry Clarke, New York, New York, 1872 March 22

Identifier: CRCL I-2-n

Scope and Contents

Enclosed are the remainder of the articles of "America before Columbus". Clarke has thus far all that was valuable in the article. He discusses the monasteries of Greenland. Pax will be glad to correct anything Clarke does not comprehend. He is anxious to know when the "History of America before Columbus" will be in print. It can open eyes and ears. Pax can get information about Bishops Guy Ignatius Chabrat and Celestine de la Hailandiere at St. Denis near Paris where he visited in 1864. Clarke need not mention Moosmuller's work. It is too bad that Clarke does not have full information on all of his "Deceased Prelates" as he had for the first Bishop of New Orleans. What is the matter with Bishop Louis Amadeus Rappe of Cleveland? Did some trustee-man get up and say something like that which was heard about Bishop Frederick Rese ? He heard something worse about him last week but did not believe it. This is a great country for mean talk about bishops and priests. The best of the very worst is that the good bishops get their share of the calumny which ought to make them not believe everything they hear against priests. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
