Pallen apologizes for not expressing earlier his sincere thanks and gratification for the way Clarke personally honored him by his communication. Pallen will be much pleased in becoming a member of Clarke's organization for such worthy purposes. But Pallen's financial condition will not warrant his applying for membership in the United States Catholic Historical Society. He hopes to apply in the future. He will call on Clarke personally to find out more about the Society. He is a classmate of Clarke's son Walter. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
