Letter from Frederic Hastings Smyth to Herbert Cahoon, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1948 March 5 : typescript signed.

Thanking him for his letter and "its enclosed money for the Bulletin, together with the extra financial Act of Supererogation"; commenting that Cahoon seems busy and that his work, particularly with Joyce, sounds important; envying his expected trip to Europe and mentioning that Dave Hecht and Pete Ruderman also expect to go soon; expressing interest in "the NEWSWEEK news"; asking him to send "your friend the religious editor" up to Cambridge to attend Mass; asking if he can find "a good short poem on the Resurrection, or suitable... for the Easter Bulletin" or write one; notifying that Russel McKeon has decided to move into the Oratory in the middle of the month; hoping to get to New York after Easter and wishing Cahoon "a joyous one!"; informing that he just received an enquiry from the Brazilian Government Trade Bureau as to whether "they can buy some copies of the Bulletin with the article about the Marshall Plan and Latin America"; noting that the Bulletin has helped the Society of the Catholic Commonwealth, but doubting whether he can continue running it single-handedly.
