Hill, George William, Washington, D. C., to William J. Onahan, Chicago, Illinois, 1889 December 16

Since Hill had seen Onahan in Baltimore, and missed seeing him in Washington Nov. 13, he had intended to write. He congratulates, and praises Onahan's work in the Congress, and thanks him on the part of all Catholics. The Congress was an eye opener for the Protestants, as Fr. Schapman of Chicago informed Hill, it was for most of the Catholic clergy. Hill was unable to contact Onahan in Washington, since he had to leave in a hurry to make a report for the New York Tribune. Hill likes Washington but does not think the service of Uncle Sam is as desirable as many people think. Mrs. Hill's health is better but still far from well. Merry Christmas: :: IX-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
