Campbell, W. A.: Richmond Virginia to William J. Onahan: Chicago, Illinois, 1892 May 18

The enclosed circulars will explain the matter of the letter. Of the Executive Committee, whose names are given in one of these circulars, Col. C. O'B. Cowardin is of the Catholic Church. A conference which the latter had with Cardinal (James) Gibbons led to Onahan's being designated to act for his Church in this matter. Campbell asks how many copies of the petitions he will need to lay before ecclesiastical bodies of his Church. They are now being prepared in proper form, and properly addressed to the governments, by a committee in Washington. Campbell hopes for the cooperation of Onahan's large and influential Church in the movement in behalf of peaceful settlement of international troubles. (No enclosures.)
