Abstract
I thank you for your kind invitation to add a word of congratulations to Father John Markoe, a good friend of mine at Creighton University. I am personally aware of Father Markoe's continuing zeal and great love for bringing a proper understanding to all men regarding the God given rights of individual human beings. His apostolate among the Negroes in St. Louis and in Omaha has been, truly, the proper back ground material for the message of President Johnson last night, March 15th. He has always been an advocate for the proper recognition of the dignity of man in his God given nature, and the justice involved in seeing that all people observe this fundamental and basic rule of life, namely, to love our fellow men in Christ our Lord. You honor me in asking me to be an honorary chairman for this most worthy event. I assure you I am most happy to be such, and I am grateful to you and to all who are presently honoring Father Markoe. God bless him, and God bless you. Sincerely yours, Very Rev. John J. Foley, S.J. Provincial, Wisconsin Province of the Society of Jesus
