2 K 9/28 Dear Mr. Knopf1;

Have you seen the very enthusiastic review4 of the “Archbishop”5 in the Knights of Columbus6 weekly, “The Commonweal”7? This is just to call your attention to it8, and to ask you to to ask your secretary to mail me five copies of the number of the paper containing the review. I want to send them to my Catholic friends.

Hastily W. S. C. Ans

I haven’t seen many reviews, but this2 is a Catholic community, strange to say, and all the chambermaids bring me Catholic papers.
