Bishop Fenwick corresponds with an early Catholic convert

Bishop Fenwick corresponds with an early Catholic convert: In the Bishop Benedict Fenwick Papers reside four letters from a Dr. Samuel Butler of East Berkshire, Vermont, spanning 1837 through 1841. The letters discuss Butler's choice to convert to Catholicism.  It is interesting that Dr. Butler remarks, people believe whatever they read.
