Carrier, C.S.C., Father Joseph C., St. Laurent, Montreal, Canada, to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1886 April 7

The "Bishops' Hall" is a most praiseworthy idea if carried out to completeness. He suggests that it should contain all the bishops of the whole American continent. He sends a photograph of Bishop Vital Grandiu of St. Albert, Saskatchewa Territory and one of Bishop Charles-Auguste de Forbin-Janson of Nancy and Toul, France who was a kind of missionary in this country. He sends a rare lithograph of all the bishops of Canada up to the year 1875, besides portraits of founders of religious institutions in Canada. The author of this Tableau is Monsignor Joseph Marquis, a great artist. Carrier is greatly rejoiced to hear that Edwards is going to erect a separate building for the library. By all means make it fireproof. Edwards should make the library large enough to contain 150,000 volumes. Carrier asks for a picture of Edwards; he has photos of many of his dearest friends. :: XI-1-d A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
