Scope and Contents Paresce thanks Clarke for his sympathy on the death of Father Michael O'Connor, S.J. . Clarke's former letter asking information on O'Connor's life was still unanswered because O'Connor gave out none. Paresce will do his best to get such information. Enclosed are some slips from the Pittsburg Post no enclosures. Pope Gregory XVI was said to have twined his handKerchief around O'Connor's head; Paresce said this anecdote needs confirmation and appears improbable. But if true this would...
