Clarke, Richard H.: New York, New York to William J. Onahan: Chicago, Illinois, 1893 January 6

Clarke accepts the task of preparing a paper on "Columbus, his mission and character" to be read at the (Columbian Catholic) Congress. The programme of the Congress was not enclosed, and Clarke would like to receive a copy. Clarke recalls that at the Baltimore Congress, his paper was removed from the earliest, where it properly belonged, to the last, and was consequently crowded out without any notice of the change to Clarke. He asks what security there is against a repetition of such treatment.
