Scope and Contents McMahon is right in presuming his appreciation of the movement for the Catholic Summer School and his promise to cooperate. He has three lectures prepared, on Columbus, Washington, and Goethe. He mentions them because they are ready and would save him the labor of preparing others in this hot weather. As to terms the school should set its own terms until it is properly endowed. He will be absent from June 16 to July 8 attending the annual Convention of American Charities and Corrections at...

Scope and Contents Clarke thanks the Committee on papers to be read at the Catholic Congress in November for the honor they have conferred on him in selecting him to read the historical paper on "What the Catholics have done in the last 100 years." The could have selected a more competent one for this task, but regarding it as a duty of the laity to cooperate in this good work, deferring to the judgment of those clothed with the selection and with a will to do his best, Clarke accepts the invitation and thanks...

Scope and Contents The success accomplished towards the erection of a statue to Orestes A. Brownson is such as to warrant the hope of seeing it standing in Central Park. Clarke has arranged for two lectures here in November by Eliza Allen Starr of Chicago, which with what is in the Treasury will complete New York's quota towards the fund. Clarke inquires whether Brownson or any of Dr. Brownson's family possesses a bust or statue of any kind, or cast of his face, or picture of any kind taken from life, which...

Scope and Contents Clarke thanks Brownson for the information and suggestions contained in his letter of the 11th and will try to fix Eliza Allen Starr's lectures either before or after the Carroll Centennial. Archbishop William H. Gross informed him that the Catholic Lay Congress would assemble the week before the ecclesiastical celebration, November 4th. He would like information as to dates, so that he can arrange the time of the lectures, and since Miss Starr will be his guest she may also wish to attend...

Scope and Contents Having received information fixing the dates of the celebrations at Baltimore and Washington, Clarke postponed Eliza Allen Starr's lectures so as to follow those dates. He sends Brownson a copy of the Catholic News containing and article on the centenary and Congress, in which it is suggested that the Catholic societies in the U. S. send delegations to the Congress. There is great danger of the Congress becoming unwieldy if this is done, as Catholic societies are not counted by thousands,...

Scope and Contents Having taken up his residence for the summer at Long Branch, Brownson's letter as Chairman of Committee was a day or two late in reaching Clarke. He sends his answer herewith. He would like to know what subjects have been chosen for papers, who have been selected to prepare them, and whether any paper will relate to the colonial period or the work of Catholics prior to the 100 years. If Clarke understands Brownson's remarks, while the work of Catholics in literature, science and art is not...

Scope and Contents Clarke was ready with his paper for the Catholic Congress at the appointed time, but the typewriter has delayed it a day. He encloses it herewith. He prepared it during a period of severe prostration and sickness and found it took a great deal of time because he had frequently to consume a considerable time in looking up a date or a correct name. While he does not feel well pleased with it-as he generally feels a little admiration for what he writes-still after so much time and labor he...

Clarke thanks Brownson for his kind letters on his paper for the Congress and on the lecture for Eliza Allen Starr. In regard to the letter a more direct and satisfactory arrangement could be arrived at by a personal correspondence between Brownson and her. The two lectures here will take place November 18 and 21 and she is paid a fixed price for them, and Brownson and she can make their own arrangements. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 1 p. 12 mo.

Scope and Contents Clarke would like to be informed of the order of proceedings at the Congress, when his paper will be reached, how those having papers will report, and to whom, at the Hall, whether they will have seats on the platform, and such information as Brownson may possess; also how seats at the Sunday celebration at the Cathedral can be procured. He has almost lost his voice from illness. What shall be do in case his voice fails—get some one to read the paper for him? He finds the delegates here, who...

Scope and Contents Clarke asks for copies, and the bill, for Brownson's translation of the "Life of Columbus" and his pamphlet on Masonry. He notices that Brownson is his own publisher—a good thing to keep clear of publishers— and would like to know how he has succeeded in publishing and selling the works himself. There will be organized here, March 16, the Society of American Authors, embracing the best authors in American literature. Brownson is invited to attend. Clarke is going to take an active part in it...

Scope and Contents Clarke received the two volumes of the Life of Columbus and the pamphlet; and sent his check for them He saw a notice of Brownson's translation. He had nearly completed a paper on the subject of Columbus, condensed, and suitable for general and popular use, and will mention Brownson's translation as one of the works consulted. It does not read like a translation, but has the ease and fluency of an original work. He will be pleased to see Brownson when he comes to New York. :: III-3-d A.L.S....

Scope and Contents Clarke sends a letter to McMaster introducing Mrs. M.O., Driscoll of Mobile Alabama.

He is sure such a move would be, gratifying to the many followers of the Journal in that city who are, anxious to read and enjoy its columns....

Scope and Contents He regrets his inability to comply with Richard Clark' s request. All that he knows of Bishop John Marcellus P. Verot he said in the pamphlet written at Verot's death. Some of the data he gave there was only second hand, and incorrect. Referring to the Bishop when yet a priest, he made him travel "afoot and fasting, for several years, after a first mass said in Baltimore, to Ellicott's Mills, where he sang a High Mass and preached." This, according to Father B.S. Piot of St. Charles...

Scope and Contents The responsibilities which McMaster's question places on Clay and Thompson is greater than they wish to assume. If they support him they would seem to sacrifice principle. If they say oppose him they provoke the bitter hostility of his friends towards them and their country in case he is defeated. Since the party has not decided not to hold another convention it makes no difference how they advise. They will approve whatever McMaster does because they have extreme confidence in his...
