Aldrich, Charles, Webster City, Iowa, to The Editor of the Notre Dame Scholastic, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1882 November 18

He recently read in the Scholastic the beautiful tribute to the memory of Father Augustus Lemonnier, C.S.C. . Aldrich met Lemonnier but once, but has never forgotten that interview. It was a great pleasure to converse with one so intelligent. His enthusiasm for the Catholic Church, for the cause of education and for Notre Dame knew no bounds. Aldrich grieves most sincerely that one who possessed such a noble character should have had a life so brief. Lemonnier's personal appearance was splendid; he was a handsome man. Aldrich never met a man he admired so much from a brief acquaintance. P.S. Aldrich notes that he was too busy to make a copy of the rough draft of his letter. :: XI-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo. 2pp. 16to.
