Eccles, Charlotte O'Conor:
Dublin, Ireland
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Eccles inquires if Hudson could help her get the post of Lourdes or Dublin correspondent to one or two American newspapers. She was on the staff of the Irish Fireside, but that magazine has suspended publication because of Mrs. E. Dwyer Gray's illness. Eccles' work has appeared in several first class London magazines and Messrs. Field and Ivers of the Leadenhall Press have just published her volume of essays entitled "Modern Men, by a Modern Maid" which has been favorably noticed by London newspapers and praised by J.P. O'Connor and Justin H. Mc Carthy, M.P.'s. Would Maurice F. Egan know of anything a girl could do. Times were never worse in this country. Eccles' father was the proprietor and editor of The Roscommon Messenger and so her taste for journalism.

to (Henry F. Brownson):

It has been several years since Jannet has corresponded with Brownson but he asks of him a service in the interest of a family of friends. The Vicomte de Mayal de Lupe wishes to know whether his daughter, Ma-dame de Mayal de Lupe, a religious of Sacred Heart, who should have arrived six weeks ago at the Convent of her order on Jefferson Street in Detroit, is in good health. The poor father is very anxious because since his daughter left New York he has had absolutely no news, in spite of her promise to write upon her arrival in Detroit. Jannet hopes that Brownson without too much trouble can accomplish this act of charity.

to Eliz(abeth Seton:
New York, New York)
Her letter of the 24th reached him this morning. He has three portraits of their mother, (Emily Prime Seton); one of 13, one of about 20 ; and one of 40. He took them from Cragdon because he thought it a shame to have (them) destroyed by the Jevons children. Temple(Prime) is welcome to this loan if Harry may be sure of getting them back. Harry thinks it is a good idea to have family relics photographed. Elise is to tell Robert that Harry would like to buy a set when finished and to tell Temple he would like a copy of his book. Harry writes dear Nita often. His illness has prevented his sending her robe (?) to Portland. He had a letter from his little Willie (Seton). Annie (Foster Seton) says that Jack (John Foster Seton) is doing very well. William wrote a few days ago; Harry is happy that Sally is getting along so well. He hopes it may be a complete recovery. He hopes Elise will remember him to Agnes and Father William. Father Rebman was there last Sunday. Robert's chalice was used for the first time. Captain Price who married Hayner's daughter was not of Harry's regiment. Their Price has been married over twenty years. Love to Nina and Temple.

(MacDonnell), Sister M(ary) Magdalene:
(Lisbon, Portugal)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Sister does not think she will ever see America. They are strictly cloistered and never change their convents except for a mission. Sister has a prejudice against Irish-Americans. There is a spirit of irreligion in some families there. Portugal is changed; people say it will have a republic ere long. The Nunzio said the presents for the Pope from the King are paltry. Sister encloses a bit of the Figaro (no enclosure) describing the gifts from Paris. She sends a ribbon for the tabernacle key and a cushion. They intended sending all their presents to (Cardinal Cajetan) Masella who will present them to the Pope. Has an English life of St. Pius appeared lately in America or Great Britain? Sister writes the names of some subscribers to the Ave Maria.

Seton, Geo(rge):
Edinburgh, (Scotland)
to Monsignor (Robert Seton:
Jersey City Heights, New Jersey)
He is ashamed to think that Robert's note of July 26 should have been so long unacknowledged. He sent a copy of Robert's statement relative to his mother to Lord Moncrieff who was greatly pleased. In the first volume of the Grenville memoirs Robert will find a curious notice of Mary Berry whose mother was a Seton of Parbroath and who died in 1852 at the age of 90. He regrets that Robert's brother, (William Seton), did not visit him when he was in England. George's little volume of anecdotes has proved very successful. Bertram Seton is a cadet of Cariston; he takes an interest in his family pedigree. George's second daughter, Marg(aret) Montgomerie (Seton) was married last December to her second cousin, son of the late General Wurtle of the Artillery and is now in Shanghai where he is connected with an American Marine Insurance House of Russell and Company.

Fitzgibbon told ( ) Elder of Brownson's success here and advised him to call on Judge ( ) Clifford, ( ) Brosseau and Mrs. ( ) Jones, who will purchase Brownson's works. The Calumet National Bank can be purchased, although there are differences among its managers. It will pay 20% on the capital stock this year. His wife and her brother are very anxious to buy out the bank and Fitzgibbon thinks they will do so although he has had some very good proposals to reenter the distilling business. If they buy the bank he can be president. He sends his best wishes and hopes Brownson will write, and will visit again soon.

His own father, lately deceased, was a subscriber to the Review and it passed into Father Fanning's hands when he was ordained in 1867. He hopes that the sound philosophical doctrine of Brownson's father will reach directly or indirectly every citizen of the U. S.

Jenkins rejoices at the sight of the names of Hudson's new contributors, though Hudson knows he does not fancy the effusive and half feminine (Charles) Warren Stoddard. What became of (Maurice) Egan's promised notice of (James Alphonsus) McMaster? And Hudson hauled up Father Edmund (Hill, C.P.) before he was ready.

Would Charles Warren Stoddard be a desirable person? Mannix's sister reports having met Hudson. If her sister would write Hudson would find her more acceptable than Mannix. Are there any ways of making a living at South Bend? They have almost resolved to leave there. The indictments against (John B.) Mannix have not been withdrawn.

(McQuaid) has been looking over the Acta and read much that is interesting about excommunication. It is worth reading, if only to see how learned men differ. The writer quotes "La Revue Theologique." Was it not very cool for Bishop (John J.) Keane and Co. to send their joint letter to their priests. They are determined to override them in their own dioceses. (McQuaid)'s letter to Cardinal (James) Gibbons declining to permit collecting for the (Catholic) University (of America) does not lack frankness. Gibbons consented to be the medium for sending a letter to the Pope not as the President's, but the Cardinal's at the request of the President. The wonderful present is the Constitution, which can be explained and then swallowed. If only Brownson or MacMaster was alive! (McQuaid) will send a copy of his letter to the Cardinal.

(Washington, District of Columbia)
to Father Daniel (E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Welch celebrated Mass on Christmas Day at the convent of the Sisters (of the Holy Cross) on Massachusetts Ave. The establishment seems to be in a flourishing condition. Washington is growing rapidly and real estate values are rising so that they have been able to sell lands which were of little value to them for $80,000. This money together with $51,000, which was left to them has enabled them to reduce their heavy debt. Father (Robert) Fulton, (S.J.) is still in Ireland. Mr. Robertson, years ago a minister at the Advent, went to England where he was received into the Society and was recently ordained. His sister, Sister Mary Esther has now been received into the Church. Father Tim(othy J. Danahy) is still at Quincy. He understands Father (Joseph) Gallagher's new school at the foot of Blue Hills Avenue, Boston, is beautiful.
