DR. QUINLAN: I desire to make mention at this time of an article by Hon. Joseph T. Lawless on Daniel Morgan of Cowpens. This article was prepared after painstaking research by Judge Lawless, and should have been published in the Journal of the Society of 1907. For some reason or other, it was omitted, but will now be published in Volume IX. in accordance with the desire of the Executive Council. Scientific papers have already been received from Michael J. O’Brien, Esq., Thomas S. Lonergan, Hon. William J. Onahan and Hon. Patrick T. Barry, and papers are promised and now in process of preparation by Rev. William J. McCoy, LL. D., Michael J. O’Brien, Esq., Hon. Michael P. Kehoe, Hon. James F. Brennan (our Historiographer), Edgar Stanton Maclay, Esq., Prof. Andrew J. Hogan, Martin I. J. Griffin, Esq., Dr. J. Lawton Hiers, Col. Alfred Moore Waddell, and Frank M. Coffee, Jr. You see, gentlemen, there is no paucity now of literary material. We simply can’t stop the flood. The next order of business is the reading of obituaries. The first is that of Rev. Daniel H. O’Dwyer, by Chairman John J. Lenehan of the Membership Committee. The same has been submitted and will be published in Volume IX. The next is that of Mr. Patrick O’Brien, which, after its reading by the Secretary-General, will be ordered published. The Secretary-General read the sketch. DR. QUINLAN: The next is the obituary of Rev. Michael Aloysius McManus, by James L. O’Neill, Esq. JUDGE LEE: Doubtless many of us who were present at our annual meeting in Washington last year will remember Father McManus. His soul was so in the work that he didn’t wait to be proposed, but proposed himself at that meeting. The obituary notice is here, and has been well prepared by one of the members of the Executive Council, Mr. James L. O’Neill. With your permission, we will follow the usual course and publish the same in Volume IX. DR. QUINLAN: Very well. The next is that of Mr. Philip C. Walsh by Philip C. Walsh, Jr. JUDGE LEE: Mr. Philip C. Walsh, Jr., is not a member of the Society, but has sent me an obituary notice of his father which is quite complete. The same will take the usual course. DR. QUINLAN: The next is the obituary of Mr. James McGovern by John G. O’Keefe. I understand the same is to be turned over to the Secretary-General for publication. The next order of business is the reading of letters of regret by the Secretary-General.
