McGovern Father James J.:
Lockport, (Illinois)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
He hastens to send the manuscripts and the two copies which Edwards ordered. From time to time he will send material to memorial Hall. Edwards is engaged in a noble work. He has nothing to add to the life of Bishop McMullen. He has received the highest testimonials he could expect, from Cardinals Timeoni and Gibbons.

Shea John Gilmary:
Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
All the letters have been returned to Edwards. They yielded much that he hopes to use to advantages in his next volume. The perusal of the correspondence gives an insight into the disposition and character of a person that is often difficult to obtain. Now he never suspected a vein of quiet humor in Bishop (Benedict) Flaget, but a letter of his to Father Chabrat hits off several of his priests very cleverly. Shea notes that the Laetare Medal has been awarded to Anna H. Dorsey.

Mannix Mary E.:
San Diego, California
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Mannix received the Spanish poems and will send Hudson a translation. Hudson may do what he pleases with her letters, she has great respect for his judgement. Who is writing the "Lay Sermons for Lent", they are good and ought to be printed in pamphlet form. The sketch of Kathleen O'Meara was touching. Her love for her mother touched a chord in Mannix's heart and brought back memories of her mother whom she describes for Hudson. (Maurice Francis) Egan's tribute to (Patrick Valentine) Hickey was kind. She will say no more about "A Raft In Mid Ocean". Mannix has not seen Mr. Walsh's collection of poems, but she never found much meat in those she has read; but then she never card for Aubrey de Vere. Katherine Tynan has some touching verses in the last number of the Catholic World. Harold Dijon in his autobiography grows silly and impractical. Is Hudson sure about Augustin Daly being a devout Catholic? She has received word from her brother-in-law that he had sold at a profit her interest in a Cincinnati land syndicate. The editor of the Poor Souls' Advocate has asked her for contributions. he would like to send him her article "Helpers of the Holy Souls", which was published in the Ave Maria during either 1884 or 1885.

He has received the $100 for payment of Piravi. He hopes Edwards can secure him some more masses. He lives now only on Masses; he has not yet any payment from the Church. He is in some regards satisfied not to take any money from the Holy Father who wants himself so much. The Editor of the paper (Catholic News), Mr. Ridder, is satisfied with his work. Bishop (Peter) Dufal (C.S.C.) says that Father (Edward) Sorin (C.S.C.) would come to Rome next month and that he is not satisfied with the decision of the Congregation.

Dorsey, A(nna) H(anson):
Washington, (District of Columbia)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hanson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
How could Hudson spring such a surprise on Dorsey as the Notre Dame Scholastic brought her on All Fools Day, April 1st. Receiving the Laetare Medal was unexpected. The announcement that she had been awarded the medal produced great excitement in her family. The diamond of the gold medal is (Maurice Francis) Egan's sonnet. She enjoyed it without the least taint of self-love for he so idealized his theme that it is far beyond her. Who wrote the prose sketch? It is perfect in as much as it hits the happy mean, says neither too much not too little but in gracious words does more than justice to the old veteran whose work is done. Dorsey is not four score and over but only seventy-two. Doesn't Hudson think she has been crowned; what with the Holy Father's blessing, the Notre Dame medal and (James) Cardinal (Gibbons) blessing. She received a note from Gibbons secretary saying the Cardinal had received the medal and invited her to call and receive it from him. Dorsey replied she was unable to make the journey and requested the medal be forwarded to her. She hopes Hudson is better.

Maes, Camiillus P., Bishop of Covington:
Covington, K(entuck)y
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, (Michigan)
The Bishop wrote to Brownson last week and just now found the letter in his desk, but in answer to Brownson's letter of the 25th, he wishes to say that he fully agrees with him as to the desirability of a Catholic Congress. Let it be a thorough Catholic move, enlisting the good will and cooperation of all, representative of every nationality and thoroughly American. He calls Brownson's attention to nationality because of the ill advised movement of a very few German priests to keep German Catholics separate. No attention should be called to the matter either in the preliminary meeting or in the papers, but there should be some representatives of the German element, so that the movement not be considered distinct from and antagonistic to the German Catholics, but be looked upon in its true light, the combining of all Catholic elements for the common good of the one Catholic Church of America. In the interest of unity, he would make (Henry J.) Spaunhorst of St. Louis a member of the Central Committee; he is a through Catholic, and as president of the meritorious Central Verein shown the greatest love for the Church and devotion to the country, and has at heart the common good of both. There will be time later to decide what subjects to treat, and the only difficulty will be to make a wise selection among the most urgent topics. However, literature of rather "plain good reading and the means of avoiding bad reading" is a very important one.

Preston, V. G., Father T(homas) S.:
New York, (New York)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Preston has consulted the Archbishop (Michael A. Corrigan) in regard to Brownson's letter of the 28th, and it seems to them that such a meeting as he proposes might be productive of good. There are, however, some serious dangers which must be considered. If the convention should be made up of loyal and conservative Catholics much good might be done, but if any or any considerable number of the delegates be disloyal or at all liberal in their tendencies, evil might result. If Brownson can mature a plan by which the election of such delegates as will properly represent Catholic interests at this time will be insured, Father Preston feels sure that his proposition will lead to happy results. It is well, however, to be sure of the great danger which in this country always attends any public meeting where freedom of speech is absolutely without control. He will be happy to hear from Brownson again on the subject.

Sister thanks Hudson for the manuscript and the book. Their superior is absent so she was unable to secure any order especially since the price was not announced in the Catholic Standard. As for B(rother) A(zarius) (Mullany, F.S.C.), she never met him until the afternoon when he visited there with his brother Father (John F.) Mullany. In conversation he mentioned that a sketch of his about K(athleen) O'Meara would appear in the Ave Maria. She has learned that Father (John Talbot) Smith is the new editor of The (Catholic) Review. An article in the April 13th issue speaks the truth. Sister believes Americans would like a genteel Catholic journal, that is not always talking about Ireland and praising her sons as though all others were contemptible.

New York, (New York)
Number 1753. Under the secret of the Holy Office. The books published by Henry George were examined by the Supreme Congregation of the Holy Inquisition on Wednesday February 6, 1889 and it was decided that Corrigan should be notified that they were found worthy of condemnation. Because of the circumstances of the times and the great care that the American Prelates of the United States exercise to keep their flocks from errors, the Congregation decided that the condemnation would not be announced. They are sure that Corrigan and the other American bishops would take care that the Catholic doctrine on private property be held as it has been defined by Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII in their encyclicals as against the false theories of Henry George. Corrigan is to convey this decision to his suffragans under the secret of the Holy Office. Archbishop D(omenico Jacobini) signs as secretary.

Stoddard asks Hudson to send him (Arthur) Stace's Paris address, for he may be there in May. He asks Hudson to get some pictures of scenes at Notre Dame from Father (John A.) Zahm, C.S.C. Bishop (John) Keane is what Hudson says of him; Keane was here the other day buying stainedglass windows for the chapel in the Theological House at Washington. Father (Denis) O'Connell is one of the finest; he is dying in Rome, the place doesn't agree with him. He received the copies of Lepers of Molokai and the Scholastic. Stoddard guesses (Maurice Francis) Egan wrote "In Memoriam". He would like him to know Wallace, and yet why should he, because it would mean more heart throbs. Stoddard is a wreck. Doctor Ranke, nephew of the historian is treating him, and he is now taking twenty-four drops of arsenic daily. He finds there is little hope of regaining his health and it would be madness for him to think of going to Washington. Stoddard sent Hudson a letter about Padre Augustino, which may be of no use, and a letter about Pope Leo XIII, which is wretched stuff, but he cannot do better because he has little strength.

It never makes any differences to Mannix when Hudson publishes her contributions. The more she thinks of her translation of "Signs of the Times" the less she thinks it advisable to publish it. There are many estimable artists whom it would be unjust to include in the scorching declaration of the writer of "Lee Cyniques". (She names many.) Their Confraternity of the Sacred Heart remains in statu quo. It is neither politic nor proper to nudge one's pastor's elbows more than once. Spainards are famous procrastinators.

to (William J.) Onahan:

Because of an accumulation of work, Riordan has not been able to answer Onahan's letter earlier. He is in complete sympathy with the views expressed in Onahan's last letter. The potentialities of the laity as far as interest in the Church is concerned, are be-ing overlooked. The building of churches and schools does not mean progress but it is necessary to call upon the laity, to unite with the olergy in every department of Church work. He urges Onahan to place confidence in them. He does not wish his views to be made public, except that Onahan may say to friends that the bishop is in favor of the meeting.

Marchal trusts Hudson's strength is now restored. She hopes Hudson will reread the "Queen's Regiment" and judge it more leniently. Mme. Lavergne, the author, meant to illustrate the charity and condescension of princesses and the frame she placed them in is an exact picture of the times. They saw Brother Azarias's (Patrick Mullany) tribute to Kathleen O'Meara's memory: it gave a true portrait of her cultivated mind and the fervour of her energetic soul.

It was indeed a happy birthday for him; best of all was the prospect of seeing Henry soon, on his way to St. Paul. If Brownson will call Dr. J(ohn) J. Brownson of Dubuque, his son, he will bring him out to Orestes' home. He is glad that the end is drawing near, although he has not accomplished much. The future seems so dark and uncertain to him; man is such an atom of Creation, and one so fallible that he would rather endure the evils he has than fly to those he knows not of. He speaks of their mother and father, Orestes A. Brownson. Henry should bring some of his children with him if possible. Orestes speaks of his family; Charley (Brownson) is nearly fifteen and is the youngest, but as big as a man. Sarah (Brownson) and Rosa (Brownson) are still home, the rest are married and gone.

Peythieu, Father H.:
Vincennes, Ind(iana)
to (James F.) Edwards:
New York, New York
He has only time to thank Edwards for his kindness. Edwards will have to meet so much expense in this trip that it would be unreasonable to demand anything. A little souvenir of Rome, say a picture of Leo XIII will sufice.

Spaunhorst, H(enry) J.:
St. Louis, M(iss)o(uri)
to William J. Onahan:
Chicago, Ill(inoi)s
Spaunhort congratulates Onahan upon his appointment to city comptroller. He approves the idea of a general meeting of Catholic laymen. He warnes that certain prejudices must be over come, such as the American German Catholic Clergy, and the German Roman catholic Society. These organizations hold annual conventions, conducted in German. However, Spaunhorst feels that the a catholic congress of America must leave all old national ties behind, and progress outside of nationality.

(Brownson,) Orestes (A. Jr.):
Rockdale, (Iowa)
to (Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Michigan)
He received the four lectures of Rev. Thomas Hughes, S. J. and has read them with interest and pleasure. Hughes is a learned man. The moment Orestes begins to follow such arguments, difficulties and abstractions arise in his mind that he cannot harmonize. He gives examples of what he means. He is happier and better when following the path indicated by the Church than when ignoring them, and that is about all his mind can comprehend.

Onahan, W(illiam) J.:
Chicago, (Illinois)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
The letters Onahan sent Brownson yesterday from (James) Cardinal (Gibbons) and Archbishop (John) Ireland remove all difficulties. It now remains only to arrange the necessary preliminaries and to submit plans to His Eminence or to Archbishop Ireland. He expects to meet Bishop (John L.) Spaulding to talk with him on the subject, and he should be one of the active movers in the Congress. Archbishop Ireland will be here very soon and perhaps a conference could be arranged. Onahan's position engages all his time and for several weeks will not be free for outside work, but then may be counted on to do all he can. (H.J.) Spaunhorst's letter came this morning; he will be a useful factor in the movement.

Arnold, E( ) C.:
Taunton, Mass(achusetts)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Arnold submits an article on Catholic literature which can be divided into two parts for publication in successive issues. Her position as public librarian enables her to realize better than most how much the efforts of the Church are neutralized by the sensational trash which circulates in such a manufacturing center as Taunton.
