Adams heard that Clarke was born in Washington and wants to know where. He is about to make a visit to his birthplace after an absence of twenty years. George Adams, his father, went there from Oxen Hill, Maryland, just opposite Alexandria. They assisted in the founding of the Navy Yard Methodist Church. After graduating in New England, Adams became an Episcopal clergyman. Ten years ago he was received into the Church and is now engaged in newspaper work. He sold many of the Catholic Church History edited by Clarke and, since learning Clarke is from Washington, Adams wants to look up Clarke's relatives. Adams owes much to his genial Irish school master, Mr. Shine, and he was a school mate of one of the Fenwicks. P.S. His brother, John G. Adams, lived at 8th and L.,N.W. from 1847 to ten years ago. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
