Pax, Father George, Williamsville, New York, to Richard Henry Clarke, New York, New York, 1872 May 1

Identifier: CRCL I-2-n

Scope and Contents

Pax received a letter from Kreuzer Brothers, publishers of Volkzeitung of Baltimore, stating, that as far as they know, no book exists under the title of "America before Columbus". They had received the written manuscripts directly from Rome from Father Oswald Moosmuller, O.S.B. for their journal. There is almost a certainly no such book exists and further inquiries would be useless. The remaining chapters of Moosmuller's "America before Columbus" contain nothing that was not already in Pax's manuscripts. Pax suggests these should be soon published in an additional volume. Pax received a beautiful letter relative to Bishop John Nepomucene Neumann from his uncle. If Clarke wants it in case he published an additional volume, Clarke need only inform Pax about the translation. Archbishop John Joseph Hughes intended to start or form a congregation of German priests with those first ones. A few weeks of combined labor would make materials ready for print. Father John N. Berger, C.SS.R. of Baltimore has already written a life of his uncle, Bishop Neumann, in German. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
