The Thomas O'Gorman papers. 1891-1902.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/183196020

Mainly letters received by O'Gorman. Topics addressed include: the Columbian Catholic Summer School; debate over CUA's orthodoxy, 1896; and the succession of the Archdiocese of New York, 1902. Also present is material relating to the 'Philippine Question', including a 1902 letter to John Ireland, written from Manila by G. A. O'Reilly, a newly appointed Catholic superintendent of schools. (The latter item is likely present because of O'Gorman's position on the Philippine Claims' Commission, sent to the Vatican by President Roosevelt in 1902 to arrange the purchase of landed estates held by Catholic religious orders resident in the Philippines before the islands came into U.S. hands.) Correspondents include Dennis J. O'Connell, Sebastian G. Messmer, John S. Foley, Maurice Egan, Richard L. Burtsell, William J. Onahan, and Conde B. Pallen. Also present are two history notebooks in Latin.
