This series, Cathedral of St. Paul, Construction Letters, 1907-1915 have been loaned to the University of Minnesota by the Reverend John Ubel, and archivist Dr. Celeste Raspanti of the Cathedral of St. Paul for the purpose of making them accessible to the public while ensuring preservation through digitization.
\n\nThe Cathedral archives has the letters of John McCormack to his partner, John Clark. Owners of the Rockville Quarry in Rockville, Minnesota, they supplied the granite for the exterior of the Cathedral of Saint Paul. The collection includes about 1,400 letters in twelve loose-leaf folders. The letters, written almost daily, are handwritten and typed.
\n\nThe content focuses on their contract with Emmanuel Masqueray and Archbishop John Ireland, as well as other contracts with other individuals and companies in the Twin Cities.
