Corrigan, Archbishop Michael A., New York, New York, to William J. Onahan, Chicago, Illinois, 1889 October 17

He thanks Onahan for the admission cards to the American Catholic Congress. For the committee on resolutions, he suggests Judge Joseph F. Daly and Professor Charles Herbermann of New York. Daly is prudent and learned; sound on all Catholic questions. Herbermann is the most learned layman in New York. He is a graduate of St. Francis Xavier's College of New York. His name may conciliate the Germans although he is thoroughly American in sentiment. Among the speakers to the resolutions Corrigan would invite Bourke Cochrane and Frederic Coudert. Cochrane is a sympathetic speaker, a devout Catholic and thoroughly informed on all Catholic questions. Coudert is bright and clever, well-read and witty and a devout Catholic. Grouped by Onahan with other papers on the Congress. :: IX-1-b T.L.S. 3 pp. 8vo.
