Dahlgren thanks Clarke for his admirable brochure. If the Catholics of Maryland erred, it was in being too liberal! Perhaps without the admixture of dissent, they would have built a stronger colony in the end. This country is in a bad way and it looks as if it will get worse. The poor freezing and starving Catholic Indians are being made confessors for the Faith. Dahlgren placed a bundle of papers in the hands of the new Secretary showing the villainous practices in the White Earth Reserve. She hopes that Zachariah Chandler may be moved to pity. She has a letter from Cardinal John McCloskey sending $100 to the cause. This combined with various letters received from Archbishops and bishops will be published in part in the next manual. She will send one to Clarke. She sends Mrs. Clarke her pamphlet on "Etiquette". :: I-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
