DR. SULLIVAN: I don’t think there is any controversy about the matters suggested. My research has been an entirely scientific one, and we never let anything go out of our department unless we have good evidence to base it upon. Before the paper goes out, those remarks will all be verified. I see no reason for any controversy. DR. QUINLAN: I thought the subject might be discussed. Perhaps it would be well for you and Mr. Griffin to take it up together. MR. RYAN: I think Mr. Talley’s point is admirably taken. There is one thing I would like to mention that has just come to my notice. One of the professors of Harvard University died within a very short time, and it is interesting to know that at the time of his death he was engaged in writing an article on the life and doings of Daniel Shay. At a recent meeting of an historical society here, the sentiment was expressed that the manuscript was in such shape that it would be a valuable contribution to American history if it should be published by somebody who would take an interest in the work. DR. QUINLAN: We have additional papers to be submitted. At the close of the reading of these, I shall be very happy to receive what suggestions you may have to offer in that regard. The next article is by Rev. Cornelius F. O’Leary of Wellston, Mo. REV. CORNELIUS F. O’LEARY: I will follow the good example of others and merely submit it to the Society for publication. I may give you a preface though, showing forth the reason that led me, for I was in harmony with the great object of this Society, to trace the footsteps, of the Irish in America, and, as I am a resident of St. Louis, thought well to bring forward the early history of St. Louis. The Connors, the McKnights and the Bradys, they were foremost in everything. The first man to open a hotel in St. Louis was a man named Brady. The first man to publish a newspaper west of the Mississippi was an Irishman named Charless. The first man to open an English speaking school in that French village was an Irishman. The Irishmen were prominent in everything. I hope you will find this paper interesting. I will not take the time to read it now, but will submit it this evening to Judge Lee.[2] DR. QUINLAN: The next paper is by M. R. F. McCarthy, Esq., of Binghamton, N. Y., entitled “A Little Mosaic of the Life of Henry W. Grady.”[3] JUDGE LEE: Mr. McCarthy is not here, but has sent me his paper. I have no authority from Mr. McCarthy to read the same, but, if agreeable to yourself and the members of the Society, after approval by the Executive Council, I move that it be printed. DR. QUINLAN: Those in favor of the motion signify by saying “aye”; those opposed “no.” The motion is carried.
