to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):

Muir presumes Hudson has heard what makes him dislike to write to her from a person whom she despises. It is impossible to marry in the Church; if a Catholic is moral he thinks himself too good for anybody. In Christian Reid Hudson has secured a prize. Muir, if she marries, will have to live near a Mormon settlement, where the most hostile feeling exists between the white and the foreign element. (Joseph A.) Lyons' Annual is very good.

Glorieux, Bishop Alph(onsus) J(oseph):
Vicar Apostolic Elect of Idaho
Baltimore, M(arylan)d
to Monsignor (Robert) Seton:
Jersey City Heights, N(ew) J(ersey)
Father (Denis Joseph) O'Connell handed Glorieux Seton's letter of the 2nd with a drawing of his arms as proposed by Seton. The see has no heraldic properties; it is difficult to make an appropriate seal. Monsignor (Louis) Lootens, the first Vicar Apostolic, resigned in 1875 because of insurmountable difficulties. Until Glorieux's appointment, the Archbishop of Oregon was the Administrator. The motto does not exactly suit his taste; if Seton would suggest another one more adapted to the life of a Vicar Apostolic in a wild, mountainous country he would prefer it. He first consulted Seton at O'Connell's suggestion.

John wishes to stay until (Jan. 11, 1885), but he may stay longer either at Philadelphia or at Baltimore. Sister Gertrude (McMaster, D.C.) is to receive the Carmelite habit on (Jan. 14, 1885), and McMaster wants John to meet him at Daly's (Hotel) in Baltimore on (Jan. 13.).

After thinking of making a visit to Baltimore, Harper has concluded that it would be better to inquire directly whether or not such a visit from him would be welcome. Perhaps after long years he and (McMaster's) daughters will meet again under very different circumstances. He owes far more to McMaster's daughters than he is able to measure (on earth) for they have obtained for him much that he vainly sought to secure for himself for years. Gertrude's (Sister Gertrude McMaster, D.C.'s) wishes regarding certain religious practices are being carried out. He asks McMaster to be generous with the flowers—which can be but a poor return for the favors he has received.

Smalley was a student at St. Mary's Academy during the period 1876-77. During this time she heard Hudson preach although she never made a personal acquaintance with him. The Catholics of Jefferson built a church, which burned to the ground after being used but five times. They have erected another church, which is only partially complete. A debt of $520 has been incurred and they need an Ostensorium, Cope and Veil. Since the parishioners are poor and cannot pay the debt, Smalley proposes to write an article on the parish, and asks Hudson to accept it as well as an article by her aunt Julia C. Smalley or by (Eliza Allen) Starr. The compensation would be used for church expenses.

Neale was busy throughout the Christmas Season. He feels people know little about priests as passengers do about the engineer on a boat. Neale thanks Hudson for the notice given the books "Short Points to Mental Prayer" and "Catholic Belief". The latter work Neale used to settle many questions. Neale thinks (Robert) Ingersoll would make an excellent convert if he could be brought to examine Catholic doctrine. He contends that Ingersoll is a wit, a poet, an orator and a noble spirited man, no worse than any other would be with his early misleadings. Ingersoll is convinced that his exaggerating mistatements about the Catholic Church have no practical result. The old hymn book that Hudson misses would recall a thousand associates. Neale is pleased to learn that the song, "On This Day O Beautiful Mother" will be sung at the grand celebration of the 300th year of the Sodalities at Boston College.

(Richardson), Marion Muir:
Morrison, (Colorado)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Muir is surprised that anyone spoke ill of her. Professor (Arthur) Stace is in complete error in affirming that Muir printed private letters. She explains her anger as hereditary madness, admitting that she is not much of a Christian. Unlike a Catholic girl, Muir found it impossible to avoid the confidences of the wretched and poor. The problem of Catholic marriage is that women are sold and deceived into the power of brutal men, who spend the nights at the Palace theater and Sunday morning at the Cathedral. Notre Dame people are gentlemen as far as Muir knows, but Notre Dame is not the Catholic World. What provokes Muir is the constant mixed marriage business when a girl has no chance to make any other kind. To be deceived in man or woman is nothing; to be deceived through one's religion is a deadly wound. Professor (Joseph) Lyons is a gentleman, who never was a correspondent of Muir's. Stace was amusing until Muir played a joke on him, after that their acquaintance was a series of quarrels.

Now they are founding schools also at Chihuahua and Monterrey. It has been only recently that the Archbishop has allowed the Sisters to appear in their parlor dressed in their religious habit.

The proceeds from the five editions were used to complete the building of the Immaculate Conception Church in St. Albans, Vermont. The pastor of Smalley's parish wants to get an Ostensorium, but the expense is to great and so Smalley asks Hudson to make an appeal for one in the Ave Maria. However, Father (William) Finucan of Creatling, Ohio presented the parish with a ciborium.

She is glad that Pho (John Alphonsus McMaster) is to remain with his father. She knows McMaster will encourage Pho in his present intentions; Pho will be worth it, although it may require a good deal of patience. Sister Agnes ( ) has been going around more lately, but she is still suffering. Sister Gertrude cannot understand why McMaster found "Rodriguez" so dry; it may be that he had so many other things to read. (P.S.)
