Griffin, Martin I. J., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1896 February 12

All Christmas week he was in daily expectation of Edwards. Edwards will be pleased at the American Catholic Historical Society's new home. Griffin often told them they are but a baby to Notre Dame. He told them that Edwards has done more real work for Catholic American History than anyone else in the land. The Society sends Father Ferd Kittell to Rome to work in Propaganda. The Society has done almost nothing in getting material the past few years. Dr. Lawrence W. Flick is a wonderful worker and has made the Society what it is. There were 1600 members in good standing in December. Flick hopes to have Griffin wholly employed by the Society. :: XI-1-n L.S.(Typed) 2pp.
