Defouri, Father James H., Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Richard Henry Clarke, New York, New York, 1884 November 9
Scope and Contents
Defouri, acknowledges Clarke's of November 1, says that Bishop John B. Miege deserves a place in Clarke's work. Defouri wrote a long obituary notice of Miege but the Jesuits at Woodstock cut it up in an unmerciful manner. Clarke should write Father Paul Ponziglione, S.J. for a copy. The Obituary was correct up until Miege retired to the Jesuits. Possibly the notice was sent to Woodstock where they knew more than anyone about Miege as a Jesuit and bishop. Defouri knew him as Bishop and came from the same place in France. P.S. Defouri has never owned Clarke's Lives. He is preparing a sketch of the life of Bishop John B. Lamy and hopes to see it printed this winter. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
