Crotty, Father Thomas J., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1903 April 10

There is no monument to mark the heorism of Catholics who served in the Civil War. This letter is to call attention to the efforts being made to honor the memory of Father William Corby, C.S.C. and the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. The plan is to build a Corby memorial front to St. Francis Xavier's Church, Gettysburg. George E. Stock has placed on the market the Father Corby Cigar and will donate a portion of the proceeds for the memorial. He asks Edwards to buy a box of the cigars. :: XI-2-f L.S.(Typed) 1p.
