Item 9 - Letter from Marius Bewley to James Smith

1 single sheet

[St Paul Seminary, St Paul, Minnesota.]—Is writing briefly, in order to reach him before he leaves New York for South America. Is glad Smith has left England, as there is little to look forward to there, and in South America there will be more freedom from distractions. His own difficulties are ‘only those that a Cambridge undergraduate who read English under Leavis would tend to feel in a Middle Western seminary’, and some of the other seminarians exhibit ‘intelligence and perspicacity, even in a "Scrutiny" sense’. Encourages him to look up the 'Catholic Worker' in New York, as it is the most vital movement in the Church in America.
