Hickey, Yates: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to William J. Onahan: Chicago, Illinois, 1892 December 27

Hickey desires to enlist Onahan in the fight to exterminate evil reading. He charges that the principal agencies used to disseminate corrupt literature are professed Catholics, who sell anything without restraint. Hickey gives this hint. "a word to the wise" to Onahan, hoping that the latter, due to his influential position, will be able to lay the matter before the Columbian Catholic Congress for action.
