McGovern, Father James J., Lockport, Illinois, to Richard Henry Clarke, New York, New York, 1885 March 12
Scope and Contents
McGovern confesses the humiliating fact that the volumes Clarke referred to have never been brought under his notice. He will order without delay those volumes already published. McGovern will remit on receipt and asks to be kept on Clarke's list. Eliza Allen Starr 's manuscripts are delayed because he and Clarke agreed on the point of facts but not funeral orations. McGovern is sorry to say Miss Starr's manuscript on the life of Bishop John McMullen was rendered unfit after leaving his hands. It is undergoing repairs and will soon be ready. McGovern is anxious to see what Clarke has to say about Bishop James O. Van de Velde . Archbishop Patrick Feehan has called attention from time to time to McGovern about the United States Catholic Historical Society, but he was always busy with matters concerning "the House of God". Now that McGovern has a complete resting place for the rest of his days, he will devote himself for the rest to his days, he will devote himself to perpetuating the known past and present for future generations. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
