The statistics Clarke sent to de Meaux are precious. De Meaux wants to know if the numbers Clarke gives represent the value of the church edifices or the value of all the properties owned by the Roman Catholic Church. During his stay in New York, de Meaux was shown the Protectory and he expressed his admiration for that splendid house in some essays which appeared in their Catholic Review, The Correspondent. These essays will be put in the form of a volume. P.S: De Meaux is only a layman, not a Bishop as Clarke seemed to think, and the son-in-law of Count de Montalembert. De Meaux is very much interested in all questions concerning religion and freedom. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.
