O'Brien, Morgan J.: L(ong) I(sland), (New York) to (William J.) Onahan: (Chicago, Illinois), 1893 July 21

M(ichael J.) O'Brien has mixed up Morgan J. O'Brien's brother-in-law, John C. Crimmins, with another man of identical name. The Crimmins related to M. J. O'Brien was not killed nor has he committed suicide. M. J. O'Brien saw W(illiam) B(ourke)Cockran, who could not promise to attend the (Columbian Catholic Congress) because of an extra session of the (United States) Congress (Frederic R.) Coudert (?) would be the best local speaker, not associated with politics. M. J. O'Brien urges Onahan to invite John McCall to talk on "Insurance", in spite of statements by Mr. Ryan.
