Denver, Colo., June 20, 1908.

Very Rev. Thomas A. Shaw, C.M.:

Reverend and Dear Friend: - I have read with a great deal of pleasure your delightful "Story of the La Salle Mission" founded by the Sons of St. Vincent and told in charming prose, interspersed with gems of poetry that make the perusal of your little volume fascinating and most profitable reading.

Your chapter on Catholic education, connected with the establishment of a parish school in La Salle, is a veritable gem which all pastors of souls might do well to ponder over seriously.

Affectionately yours in Xto.,

N. C. Matz,

Bishop of Denver, Colorado.

St. Paul, Aug. 12, 1907.

Rev. Dear Father:-

I beg leave to thank you most cordially for your kind favor in sending me a copy of your history of the labors of the early Lazarist Fathers in Illinois. I have read the book with the deepest interest and I am looking forward with pleasure to the reading of the second volume. I wish that a copy of your history were in the hands of every priest in America. Permeating every page, is your own high-minded zeal and your own intelligent love for the Church and for country. Your description of the pioneer laymen is admirable.

Very sincerely,

John Ireland.
