Scope and Contents He noticed an article in the July 29 issue of the Journal entitled the Monroe Doctrine, in which McMaster showed that at the time of its conception in 1823-24 by Mr. Monroe, the Doctrine was seasonable and pertinent, but has no application to existing circumstances.

His wife has already read parts of the Life and pronounced the work well done....

Scope and Contents Johnston sends his article on the legal profession which Brownson desired to see, promising to send Johnston some criticisms upon it.

Scope and Contents Johnston has consented to give on behalf of the International Copyright League readings in Chicago on the 13th and 14th of this month and it has occurred to him that, if suits Brownson, this would be his chance to make him a brief visit on his return. As they are not paid for this work—being members of the League—he would be willing, the more so because of Brownson's friendly suggestion, to give a reading in Detroit, on the 16th. Perhaps one of the Catholic guilds might let Johnston have...

Scope and Contents Johnston thanks Brownson for his letter of the 4th, and agrees that it will be best for the Catholic Club to take him in hand.

It is important that they should be. The tickets, as in New York and Boston, will doubtless be high....

Scope and Contents Doubtless Brownson has received Johnston's letter of the 8th, in which he wrote that for the present the authors' readings in Chicago are given up.

Whenever the Catholic Club in Detroit can see the way clear to invite him, he will go. He thanks Brownson for the interest he has taken in him. He forwarded Brownson's letter to his daughter Ruth. She received an offer...

Scope and Contents Johnston feels much relieved at the receipt of Brownson's letter. As the Chicago readings had been postponed, he could not conveniently have gone to Detroit, but he would have gone if an appointment had definitely been made. He would not care to go— except to see Brownson—unless the Club could ask him with certain cordiality and he could expect to make around $100. He wants Brownson to concern himself no further with the matter and thanks him for his interest. He sends the note of...

Scope and Contents Johnston is grateful for Brownson's words about his stories. Sometimes he feels like a sad old clown, unable to stop his clowning, but it may be best for an old man to have to keep at work to the last. It has been fortunate that since he has been a Catholic he has never had the blues though he has had some griefs, for cause. He is glad to send Brownson the letter to John Brisbane Walker and hopes he will be able to get out to see Ruth. Effie has no message for him except her love. He sees...
