Kernan, Joseph A.: New York, New York to William J. Onahan: Chicago, Illinois, 1893 February

Kernan accepts the task of talking for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, at the (Columbian) Catholic Congress, but distrusts his own ability. He shall endeavor to do his best. The subject is intimately connected with the "Social question" and mission of the Society, which is not well known, even by the clergy.
