Clarke Richard H. New York, New York, to James F. Edwards Notre Dame, Indiana, 1887 January 15

Clarke will be glad to send to Notre Dame any papers of the kind Edwards mentions. He thinks Edwards' pioneer work will do much good. He is delighted that the missionaries' document movement has been placed in competent hands. Clarke has heard enough of the Historical Medal to awaken a sense of honor. He would like to get a brief memoir of Father Sorin. One of his daughters is to marry a surgeon in the army. It will be the first military wedding in the Cathedral. Edwards and the faculty of Notre Dame will be invited.
