Letter from Edward J. Vattmann to George B. Cortelyou

Letter from Edward J. Vattmann to George B. Cortelyou

During the 1896 election, Edward J. Vattmann carried out a successful “political education” program directed at Catholics. Since the nation’s foreign possessions will likely be the “basis of future attacks,” Vattmann requested, and was granted, permission to visit and report on conditions in these areas. As ordered, Vattmann will be in Washington, D.C., soon and requests to meet with George B. Cortelyou.

Letter from Maria Longworth Storer to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Maria Longworth Storer to Theodore Roosevelt

Maria Longworth Storer advocates and is seeking support for the elevation of Archbishop John Ireland (1st and 3rd archbishop of St. Paul, MN) to the College of Cardinals and vigorously opposes the elevation of Archbishop Michael Corrigan (3rd archbishop of New York, 1885-1902) to the same position. Storer even claims that Corrigan gave private information to Spain during the Spanish-American War.
