Otis, Elmer:
Fort Meade, S(outh) Dakota
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Otis thanks Hudson for visiting Mattie and comforting her. St. Mary's is not the school the college is; it lacks the liberality that prevails in the college. He had a disagreeable experience with Marie at the academy. At the Academy of the Sacred Heart in St. Louis, his girls found everything they wanted and were happy, while at St. Mary's Academy they were anything but satisfied. If Mother Angela were alive she would soon remedy the defects. Regarding the Catholic Congress, the editor of the Dakota Catholic inferred Bishop (Martin) Marty sent him a ticket. Otis's financial affairs will not permit him to attend.

Ten Broeck, R.S.H., Sister E(lizabeth):
(Torresdale, Pennsylvania)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Ten Broeck regrets to hear that Father (Alexis) Granger, C.S.C. is ailing, perhaps the trip to his native land may revive him. Mother Depret, representing their Mother General, said that a request had been sent to remove all passionate love stories from their school libraries. She was shocked that "Fabiola" was interpreted as a case for exclusion. Sister Katherine Drexel has gone to St. Augustine with another sister to take care of the ill Bishop (James) O'Connor. A lady in their neighborhood saw O'Connor in St. Augustine two weeks ago and asserts he will never reach Omaha alive. Sister was glad to see the Catholic Union and Times give rebuff to Mr. Talbot's effervescing chalice of bitter aggressiveness on general principles. If the Catholic press runs down Catholic publications as does that paper and praises them as faintly as does (George D.) de Wolff, why are those two editors so much annoyed that the faithful do not buy or read these volumes. Father (William H.) Carroll is back at the E(astern States) Penitentary to the joy of its inmates. Father (James) Pye (Neale, S.J.) sent her an account of the "Hollander's Banquet".

Since Father (Auguste) Pamphile de Veuster is in England, Happer asked Father Ignatius Kavanaugh to give the faded picture to his sister. Harper was invited to call at a house in the city to meet a young British female missionary enroute to Molakai. She sends an account of an interview with her which appeared in the Herald.

McMahon sends Hudson a copy of the second edition of "B & R" for his list and one for review. He is interested in the sale of the book as an advance in the development of literary taste and also because it is the first book published in this country by a distinctively Catholic library.

Van Dyke was not offended by Hudson's earlier letter and he exhorts Hudson to say what he will; he is grateful for admonition. A letter from Father (Henry J.) Schutjes is not encouraging as to his health. Bishop (John S.) Foley is very popular. Father (Peter Paul) Cooney, (C.S.C.) is to write a poem on Hudson's beard.

Ward, Rev. Julius H.:
Brookline, Mass(achusetts)
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Ward thanks Brownson for his note of explanation and for the Souvenir of the Catholic Congress. He has written a short editorial on the Roman laity in the United States, which is principally based on Brownson's statement, and hopes he can send it to him in proof in the morning. He will write a book notice in the Herald and try to put a leader into the New York Times on some point connected with the Congress. If Brownson cannot stay at his house while in Boston, Ward urges him at least to dine with him. He wishes very much to talk with him, especially now that he knows what he is doing in his own Church. He can be reached at the Herald office or by mail. Brownson is a long way off in Detroit and Ward has wished to see him ever since they became acquainted.

Dutton, (Ira B.) Joseph:
(Kalawao), Molokai, Sandwich Islands
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Bishop Hermann (Koeckemann) may send Hudson a copy of his letter to Boston. His copy is now with (R.W.) Meyer, who will make some reflections on it. Dutton informed Meyer that Hudson was going to issue a new edition of the "Lepers of Molokai" and would be glad to have this letter. Since Doctor (Godwyn) Swift is busy, they may not get a picture of Father (Joseph) Damien (De Veuster's) grave, which is good, since Koeckemann will visit Kalawao and they will decide on a stone for De Veuster's unmarked grave. The heavy rains keep the sisters from traveling to Kalawao daily to care for the lepers. Concerning Sister Aurelia and the priest in Tasmania, two obstacles arose. They did not like to leave Father W(endelin Moellers); Father (Lambert C(onrardy) is a secular; and there is uncertainly about relations with the government. If talk about establishing a Protestant girl's home becomes a fact, Mother (Marianne) will not remain here. Results of the general election held two days ago are unknown. He must inform Hudson, Father (Francis X.) Dutton and Elizabeth Harper, what he has told Koeckemann, that he lead a dissolute life before his conversion. A newspaper sketch of his life, furnished by friends, who knew his old life, was published in the N(ew) O(rleans) Picayune, last July. Until he received Charles Marshall's recent letter, He did not know the article had been published.

Synnot, M(ark) Seton:

Soon after (Seton)'s arrival in Jersey City he sent Synnot a photo of himself and a woodcut likeness of his grandmother. Since the new year he received the letter accompanying the copies of (Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley) Seton's three letters to her son written from Ballymoyer in 1783. Synnot's sister, Mrs. Crawhall, (née Synnot) said these letters brought back what their father used to say of his mother. (Seton)'s stormy start was nothing to last month's. The day before the storm began, a little grandson of his started to join his father in India. They were very anxious until they heard of the ship's arrival at Bombay. The photos Synnot sent were taken 2 days before (Seton) was at Ballymoyer. Synnot sent some to a cousin in Australia; she was charmed. Synnot's wife and daughters send regards.

He left the Catholic News two weeks before (John Gilmary) Shea's advent. McGinnis would not go to see Mr. (Herman) Ridder. What ill luck hangs on Catholic journals, anyway? McGinnis is out for good. He supposes Edwards has not as yet had time to arrange the treasures he brought from Europe.

Dorsey, Anna H(anson):
Washington, (District of Columbia)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Dorsey and her family have been very ill. The warm sultry weather has produced a dread of the mysterious epidemic of grippe that prevails in a large part of the world, which is proving fatal in hundreds of cases. Louis (Mohun's) operation was a success. (Charles Warren) Stoddard was invited to their home but he has not come yet. Regarding the question asked about a writer named Janvier in the Ave Maria, Dorsey had a friendly acquaintance with some of the family, one especially, Francis De Haes Janvier, who lived in Washington. He had gone out as Commodore's secretary in an American ship of war. He described the liquifaction of the blood of St. Januarius as he witnessed it. Mohun is still attached to the United States Geological Survey, but is waiting for Mr. Menocul's return to get a promotion to the Nicaraguan Canal.

He thanks Seton for the account of his ancestors of Parbroath. He has made notes from it in his interleaved copy of "Lindores Abbey." They were a gallant race and Seton has reason to be proud of them. In turning over the Register of the Priory of St. Andrews, Laing noticed the head Creich cum capella. This latter is undoubtedly the chapel of which there are remains still at Parbroath. The common people call it Pitbroath or Petbroath; Pit or Pet is the Gaelic for a place. Laing would like to know when the prefix Par came in; broath is in his opinion the Gaelic which means a sloping bank. He thinks he showed Seton a fragment of a sculptured stone he had rescued at Abernethy. He sent one of the casts of it to the professor of archeology in Cambridge University who informed him that it is a representation of the Crucifixion. Laing thanks Seton for his photo and sends one of himself.

Brownson) and stood by him in this part of Canada until he died, greatly taken up with the Review. He has tried Boston and New York without success for the missing numbers, and being buried up in this college for nearly 40 years, he did not know what had become of the Doctor's son until he saw his name and address at the Baltimore Congress in the New York Freeman's Journal. He was greatly pleased with both. He excuses himself for the trouble, as his only aim is to have all the volumes bound for his own personal pleasure.

Richards is such an indifferent writer that he distrusts his ability to give Hudson anything worthy of the Ave Maria. When he saw the scandalous quotation from the Church Times alluded to in the clipping he sends, (no enclosure) he could not resist the impulse to make it the text of a few remarks. Twice Richards wanted to write to Hudson to express his indignation at Father (J. Talbot) Smith's remarks about the Ave Maria. Smith is an able writer, but lacks a level head. Doesn't it seem he is attempting to bulldoze public opinion into noticing and quoting the Catholic Review. Poor Littledale, he knows now whether he was fighting on the Lord's side or not.

Many people have studied Dongan's life but there is published little concerning him. Danaher refers to several people who seem to be always collecting such information.

On the following day Madame de Crèvecour and her daughter of 18, invited them to dinner. They are in mourning so it was merely a family dinner, the daughter, a son of 16 and two little boys. Sally was much pleased. Madame de Crèvecour showed him several letters from William Seton giving Crèvecour, then French counsul, information about commerce, etc. William Seton's name appears as a witness to de Crèvecour's daughter's wedding in Old St. Peter's, Barclay St. W(illiam) also saw a portrait of this daughter; she had red hair probably from her mother, Mehitable Tibbett of Yonkers; also a painting of "Pine Hill",de Crèvecour's farm in Orange County, 1775. W(illiam) wrote Sands last week. Mr. de Barbarey sent W(illiam) a copy of his book, "Souvenirs du Comte de Neuilly," his uncle. Jevons must be in New York.

Seton, W(illiam):
Paris, (France)
to Monsignor Robert (Seton:
Jersey City Heights, New Jersey)
Robert's letter of the 7th came a couple of days ago. He and Sally have already climbed Montmartre. On Ash Wednesday they went to St. Sulpice. They called on Father Forbes, S.J. W(illiam) has told of their nice dinner at Mr. de Crevecour's. The Crevecours have read Madame de Barberey's book. During their walk they stopped at a small house of the Sisters of Charity; they were glad to meet Mother Seton's grandson. As for Robert's feeling depressed now and then, it is only physical, Robert should keep out of doors as much as possible. W(illiam) is about to send off an article on the "Physiology of the Animal Kingdom." He asks to be remembered to Sands; it does Robert good to be with him. How is Mr. Navarro? W(illiam) only knows what he reads in the papers about Totie and Miss Anderson; he thinks it likely they are engaged. One of the conductors on the tramway is so like Carleton Bayley. W(illiam)'s first winter at Carleton's, '56 or '57, was most poetical to him. Grace was only 8. W(illiam) has a number of letters his father wrote him from Paris that winter. One night W(illia)m Graham, Carley's brother-in-law, got tipsy and W(illiam) held a glass of whiskey punch under his nose to make him follow him up to the second story. W(illiam) wishes he had known Carley's first wife. W(illiam) sometimes thinks of the old days at Cragdon; he can go back to 1842 or 43. West of the big house was thick woods. George Burgess was often his companion. He can see Uncle Tommy Secor feeding the chickens; so different from McCormick who took his place. If Robert is at Cragdon and wants to learn something about Old East Chester he should see Dr. Coffee, pastor of the Episcopal church. Sally and W(illiam) hope Robert gets to see Mrs. Parrish and Mrs. Lee. Annie never writes; he hears often from Harry and Liz.

Edes, Ella B.:
Rome,(Italy)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
Notre Dame, Indiana
Was Father (Reuben) Parsons a student at the North American College? Whenever Hudson receives volumes from Propaganda he may know Edes is the guilty party. She hoped Hudson liked "Mystere du Sang". Edes has no doubt the accusation is well founded. The care the Jews take to buy up and destroy all the pamphlets on the matter proves their sense of guilt. The author of "Tyborne", (Mother Magdalen Taylor) is in Rome with her nuns, known as the "Nuns of the Holy Wash Tubs". Taylor is perfectly enormous. Cardinal Vicar (Lucido Parocchi) calls her "Madame la Montaigne". Immorality promoted by the Crispi government's policy has so infected the army that the new minister of war has demanded measures to be taken to ban women of easy virtue. The Freemasons are aroused and making efforts to return (Francesco) Crispi to power. Professor (James) Edwards' painting is underway. Monsignor Jacobini will probably be replaced in June by Archbishop (Ignatius) Persico unless the Pope changed his mind. Cardinal Giovanni Simeoni denied to Edes the report that he was leaving the Propaganda and let her contradict the report through the Catholic News. She dropped the Catholic Review last October because it manipulated stupidly and was unpunctual. The Paris edition of the New York Herald gets off the most charming canards, due to their continual change of Roman correspondents each worse than the last. Propaganda now cables appointments to an accredited agent of a bishop before releasing it to the American rector. A certain class in Rome is attempting to create the impression that the Milwaukee and Omaha appointments are distasteful to the majority of Catholics.

Kelly, Father Edward:
Los Angeles, Cal(ifornia)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Kelly confined to Sister's Hospital, asks for a copy of the article entitled "Forty Years in the American Wilderness" quotations from which appeared in the Ave Maria. In this article, Brigham Young is quoted as saying that Kelly might have converted him. Kelly promises to send notes concerning his experiences in Salt Lake City between 1865 and 1866, where he was the pioneer missionary among the Mormons. Bishop (Eugene) O'Connell, the Vicar Apostolic of Marysville, California, called Kelly away from Salt Lake City to return to California. He was succeeded in Utah by Bishop (Joseph) Machebeuf of Denver, Colorado. Two years later Rome directed Archbishop (Joseph) Alemany of San Francisco to send a permanent pastor to Salt Lake City. Bishop (Lawrence) Scanlan was sent and was aided by the Sisters of HolyCross. Kelly asks Hudson to check on a lifelong subscription he had made to the Ave Maria.

Dutton, (Ira B.) Joseph:
Molokai, Sandwich Islands
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
Notre Dame, Indiana
There is still considerable to do to make the nuns comfortable. There is a disposition on the part of the officials to add the hospital to their charge. Dutton's plan for the enlargement of the boys' home will probably be carried out. It would never do for the sisters to live at Kalaupapa, with two or three of them driving over there daily, as the Mother desired. Dutton took charge of the boys' home with the promise of the mother to locate the sisters there. Mother (Marianne) is an excellent manager. Dutton does not see S(iste)r Leopoldine there but the d(octo)r often tells him about her. There could be little use made of the parties to whom Mr. (H. B.) Chapman refers. Dutton has heard again from S(iste)r Aurelia. Evidently some of her enthusiasm has weakened since Dutton told her of conditions there. Dutton has not heard from Tasmania yet. If he promises favorably, Dutton may ask the Board of Health to let him come to work with him. Dutton has two excellent native boys as helpers. They now have a total of 200. By expanding they could care for 300. Very few of the people like to go to the hospital. Sometime they might have 500 under their charge. Father Wendelin (Moellers, SS.CC.) says that without the homes they could not do much. Hudson has probably seen some of the "interviews" (Elizabeth) Harper sent. (Amy C.) Fowler was in Brooklyn and Harper saw her. When Miss ( ) Flavin sees all this about Harper she must be very amiable if she doesn't get mad. The things Fowler proposes doing are not the things the government desires nurses for. At present no remedy for leprosy is in use there. The people are being given a rest from the pains of experiment. Dr. ( ) Lutz is now in the employ of the government and is operating on a few cases at the receiving station. From the time Dutton left Hudson until the time he met Bishop Hermann (Koeckemann) at Honolulu he never spoke to anyone about the object of his trip except to Father (M. H.) Fal(l)ize, (C.S.C.). Dutton expressed Hudson's thanks to Dr. (Godwyn) Swift and thanks Hudson for sending the Ave Maria to Mr. ( ) Bender. Dutton just got a package from Mrs. (Emma Etheridge) Moran. Dutton thanks Hudson for remembering S(iste)r Lawrence. Hudson will probably get from Harper via Father (F. X.) Dutton the account of bad things he spoke of. They hear a good deal about Father (Pamphile) de Veuster, SS.CC. there. The project of the Damien Institute is not understood there. Mr. (Edward) Clifford asks Hudson to state the facts as to Father (Joseph) Damien (de Veuster's) personal habits. Instead of being negligent as charged, the government has been generous. The statement is to be filed in Paris with the head of the order. Lately the Nashville American published a horrible account of this place (Molokai). These concoctions purport to be "specials" from San Francisco. Mr. A. E. Phillips or E. A. P. signs. Did Hudson see Sir Morel Mackenzie and Dr. (Prince Albert) Morrow on the dangers to America from the invasion of leprosy? The gentleman in Nashville is Herman Justi for whom S(iste)r Lawrence was stenographer before she entered the convent. Justi has written on leprosy after a recent trip to Norway where he met Dr. (Gerhard) Hansen. Dr. ( ) Emerson, President of the Board of Health corresponded with Hansen.

How good of Seton to send her all those things. She is so glad that he went to the wedding; he was the only representative of the family. His descriptions amused them all. The young couple arrived at Liverpool and has gone to the country till Monday. She thanks Seton for telling her the story of his mother; it was very touching. She delights in the practice of their holy religion. Now that she is on night duty she can often go to Mass. She too, always wishes she had been born a Catholic. She thanks Seton for the portrait of his grandmother; she will be delighted to get the memoirs of the Setons. She wishes she could see Seton's brother and wife. Sister Lucas wishes to be remembered to Seton. They have lost all trace of Mrs. Anstruther Stewart. She and Sister Lucas expect to be going East at the end of the year. She does not see how they could pass New York; much as she would like it. She will be glad to hear about Seton from Hugh (Halkett). (Seton adds a note on the letter): The writer is a young convert and of the Seton blood.

He is sending 50 medals which he had struck and blessed at the Holy Sepulchre. He hopes (Seton) will accept them as a souvenir of their journey to Palestine. Since his return to America, the Franciscans have recovered two holy spots connected with the life of the prophet Isaiah. They have also established a hospice in Jerico for pilgrims. They are contemplating alterations for better accommodations for pilgrims if Catholics will assist them. Vissoni hopes (Seton) will recommend the work of the Holy Land to his congregation on the occasion of the collection to be taken on Good Friday.
