Scope and Contents He thanks Brownson for his letter and will be happy to meet him in New York; he asks him to name the day and hour. He sends at the same time a journal in which Brownson may read one of his literary caprices, somewhat humorous, but true in all its details. His son recently advertised in the Herald for a stock of precious documents in Spanish and has so far received some and is cutting the seals of the albums and perceives the value of the language and the papers. Because he translates Spanish...

Scope and Contents He remembers Brownson's visit to the Catholic Club library with pleasure. He received today from Paris from his old colleague Leopold Delisle, Administrateur-General de la Bibliotheque de France, the reply to a letter which he wrote before Brownson came to New York, and sends a copy to Brownson, who may communicate with Tarducci, whose surprise will equal his. He has never heard Henry Harisse speak of the work of Columbus. He has written, concerning the ancient title to Spanish America, to...

Scope and Contents Guichainville informs Brownson that a M. Ponce de Leon has shown him a lithographic facsimile of the autograph. He mentions that this signature was found under a work having for title: "Codice Diplomatico Columbo Americano" Second Edition, published in January 1857. Another one was published in 1867 in Havana illustrated on page 291. Also, that a Samuel Barlow informed Guichainville that these two facsimiles were executed by a man named La Croix, sometimes called "Enrico Croce"....

Scope and Contents Guichainville again criticizes W. E. Curtis. Curtis has gone to see the autograph and has reiterated that Guichainville's autograph is a forgery—detached from a book. He asks Brownson what he thinks of it and says that he himself would like to see such a forgery on a parchment. The learned Ponce de Leon has been more exact: the two letters which are in Tarducci should be in Genes. Could there be the possibility of a third letter? That would make three, one in the U.S. and two in Genes. He...

Except for a serious illness of his son, he would have written sooner and thanks Brownson for his reply to his letter enclosing the one from Leopold Delisle.
