Lathrop, George Parsons: New London, Connecticut to Father (Joseph H.) McMahon: (New York, New York), 1892 May 24

He thanks McMahon for the letter inviting him to become a member of the Board of Studies. He can accept only if McMahon wants his name on the Board as he cannot possibly do anything more with his own work and other jobs for the School. He is writing to Father (Morgan) Sheedy and (Warren E.) Mosher because it is important now to engage the Lyceum Theatre there. Listing the charges he notes that these are less than the usual minimum. However he cannot assume any responsibility without authorization. He asks McMahon to arrange this with the Finance Committee. It is important to act now. They may be able to economize by holding some of the meetings in the basement chapel of St. Mary's. He asks McMahon to write Sheedy and Mosher to decide. P.S. The largest room of the parochial school would seat only 100 and would deprive them of needed publicity. :: I-1-j - A.L.S. - 5pp. - 8vo. - {1}
