LETTERS FROM CARDINAL NEWMAN
I
THE ORATORY, BIRMINGHAM, February 28, 1889.
MY DEAR FATHER HEWIT: I was very sorrowful at hearing of Father Hecker's death. I have ever felt that there was this sort of unity in our lives—that we had both begun a work of the same kind, he in America and I in England, and I know how zealous he was in promoting it. It is not many months since I received a vigorous and striking proof of it in the book he sent me [The Church and the Age]. Now I am left with one friend less, and it remains with me to convey through you my best condolement to all the members of your society.
Hoping that you do not forget me in your prayers,
I am, dear Father Hewit,
most truly yours,
JOHN H. CARD. NEWMAN.
