 Item
Identifier: CRCL I-2-n

Scope and Contents

Middleton sent some items on Bishop Thomas Galberry, O.S.A., and can vouch for their accuracy. The Bishop's niece, Sister Stephen, can no doubt give ample details on his ante-collegiate life or get some information from her mother, the Bishop's sister, who lives near Philadelphia. Middleton refrains from giving any details about the Bishop's epicsopal actions expect those of common fame for two reasons which he lists. Such information could be had from several sources especially Judge Thomas McManus . Middleton wrote an article on Galberry in the "Converted Catholic" which Galberry founded. He gives some information on the "first" Bishop of Savannah, Bishop John Possidius O'Dwyer, O.S.A., who was dead when appointed. Francis Xavier Gartland was really the second bishop. He thanks Clarke for an invitation to attend the first meeting of the United States Historical Society but he is unable to attend as a member of the first Catholic Historical Society. He congratulates Clarke. He advises Clarke on the policies of the Society. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
