Corby, C.S.C., Father W(illiam): St. Mary's, Austin, Texas
to J(ames) F. Edwards: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

The good Archbishop (Francis Janssens) of New Orleans sends regards; he has some notion that the picture painted by (Luigi) Gregori was for himself and not for the fair. Father Peter here wants the stations of the cross. It occurred to Corby that Gregori could copy those in the church.

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

Tarducci, F(rancesco): Modena, (Italy)
to (Henry F.) Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

He received the two copies of the translation, but hopes in Brownson's kindness for more copies to pass around to his friends. His small knowledge of the English language does not permit him to judge the worth of the translation, but it seems very good. His Caboto is going along rather fast and he hopes to publish it by the feast of Columbus.

Dorsey, A(nna) H(anson): Washington, (District of Columbia)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

The letter Hudson sent told of the conversion of a bigoted young lady through the influence of Dorsey's book "The Student of Blenheim Forest." Bishop (John Joseph) Keane and (Charles Warren) Stoddard dined with them Wednesday evening. Dorsey is very much attracted by Stoddard. "Tom Boy" and "Two Ways" will be issued in the spring in one volume. Dorsey has taken out a copyright on "The Flemmings," the story (Patrick) O'Shea stole from her. and will bring out an author's corrected edition. (A.R.) Spofford tells her she has a perfect right. (Father Edward F.) Sorin, (C.S.C.) wrote Dorsey that he had no recollection of having given O'Shea permission to publish "The Flemmings." Father (Neal H.) Gillespie, (C.S.C.) wrote that O'Shea had only once sent them a royalty of $25. Dorsey's belief is that Mother Angela (Gillespie, C.S.C.), who really ran the Ave Maria in the first years of its existence, originated the Notre Dame series and arranged the affair with O'Shea. Father Gillespie was only sub-editor. Nellie (Ella Loraine Dorsey) is gaining strength. The two boys are in Nicaragua. Dorsey (Mohun) was assigned to the Navy Department after his return from his four years' cruise in the Mediterranean. Admiral Amen and Signor (Aniceto F.) Menocal were his friends and he was appointed first auditor of the Transportation Division of the Nicaraguan Canal Company. Louis (Mohun) fulfills all Dorsey's hopes. He was with the surveying party. He was appointed post-master and chief of police at Greytown. Now he is station master. Edyth (Mohun), the baby of the family, is being educated at St. Mary's, Ohio.

Shea, John G(ilmary): Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
to Father J(ames) H. McGean: (New York, New York)

Shea thanks McGean for the $45. His volume is now on its way to patrons and subscribers. He had made a start on volume IV, when sickness invaded his household. He has indexed, under the different dioceses, more than a hundred volumes of Catholic newspapers between 1843 and 1852. It is disheartening to find that while he works others propose to kill the U.S. (Catholic Historical) Society. No. 8 is printed. No. 11 is in hand. He is working on No. 12. As the Council stopped the meetings he lays out to have a meeting and paper read. His wife is past the crisis and improving.

Johnston, R. M.: Baltimore, (Maryland)
to Henry F. Brownson: Detroit, (Michigan)

Johnston thanks Brownson for the Life of Columbus he sent and will send in return a small volume of some of his essays on literary and social subjects, which will be published in March by Bowen-Merrill of Indianapolis. Knowing Brownson's indifference to fiction, he will not send a copy of his new novel, "Widow Guthrie", or a collection of some of his stories which Appleton 's will bring out in a few weeks. His wife has already read parts of the Life and pronounced the work well done. Johnston cannot read it until he has less work to do. He is convinced that it is a blessing to have work to do when one is old. He did not see Brownson's name among the officials of the next Congress and asks whether he is suspected of not being Irish enough. He hopes there is not to be politics in the business, but if there is, he wants Brownson there. He urges him to visit him in Baltimore and laments that he came to know him so late, love him so well, and have so little of his company.

Mannix, Mary E.: San Diego, Calif(ornia)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Hudson and Mr. Valentine were evidently of one mind about the sonnet. Mannix does not see what she could do with more than one hundred copies of Starr's book. She would send them to the mother house and let them distribute them wherever they pleased. Mannix hopes the Catholic W(or)ld people have not lost her manuscripts. Mannix sent copy of the article to the Century. She has a story of which James Grant Allen could make good capital. Mannix tells Hudson of her dreams. She has not been able to settle on an idea for the serial as yet. Mannix encloses a sketch for a story.

Richemont, Vicomte de: Paris, (France)
to (Henry F.) Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

Richemont thanks Brownson for his kind letter, which he was unable to answer during his travels in the East. He received a copy of (Richard) Elliott's sketch of Father (Gabriel) Richard, is very much interested in the subject, and will return the sketch as soon as he has finished with it. He will be very happy to pay his tribute to the memory of the pioneer of religion and education in the West, and would appreciate Brownson's thanking Elliott for asking him to do so. He thanks Brownson for the very complete bibliography he sent, and was very glad to see John Gilmary Shea and Richard H. Clarke in New York. In Paris he gave the news of Brownson to Claudio Jannes, who introduced the two, and talked with him about several questions on which Brownson gave him useful information. As he knew something more about statistics on religious matters, Richemont incloses his questions and inquires for himself about the real causes of the failure of the Church to take root in the proper American soil. Brownson has told him that conversions in the United States have not been in proportion to what they should have been and that Catholics have kept only about one-third of the immigrants and their descendants from apostatizing. He asks Brownson's opinion of whether the causes are moral or social and whether Masonry has something to do with this.

- A.L.S. - 4pp. - 8vo. -

The letter contains the following enclosure:

Richemont, Comte de: (Paris, France)
to (Henry F. Brownson): (Detroit, Michigan)

Comte de Richemont has been told by many persons, either American or familiar with American questions, that the number of citizens held to belong to not definite religious confession was very large. One said the most probable figure was 22 millions; another — an American — said 40 millions. Many different ideas seem to predominate about the mental situation of these millions: some believe them to remain faithful to the principal spiritual doctrines, even to the salvation by Christ; others are inclined to think that a very large number is already immersed in the deep sea of infidelity or agnosticism. Richemont takes great interest in the religious fluctuations in the States and would like to have Brownson's opinions on the question. He was a subscriber to Dr. (Orestes A.) Brownson's valuable and regretted periodical and would be happy to make his son's acquaintance if he ever comes to France.

(The letter is written on a printed circular telling of the need of 800 pounds for the building of the church.)

Hennessy, Father P(atrick): Jersey City, (New Jersey)
to (Henry F.) Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

On receipt of Brownson's last letter Hennessy wrote to Archbishop (Patrick John) Ryan in reference to the article which Brownson prepared for the Review on the rights of property, and encloses his reply, which he asks Brownson to return. Anything Brownson may write for the Review and send to the Archbishop will be readily published. Hennessy told him it was a shame to have a man of Brownson's ability remaining unemployed. If the article on the rights of property has been mislaid, it should be rewritten and sent to the Archbishop. It is an article which could not fail to do great good. Hennessy is glad Brownson is to publish a volume of criticisms, which he had wished him to do. He is also looking forward to the work on philosophy. How scanty Catholic philosophy has been since the death of (Orestes A. Brownson), and how wordy and obscure the work of the English Jesuits, and need reviewing! Brownson will be glad to learn that Hennessy is really well from his late nasal hemorrhage.

Stoddard is glad to have Hudson's letter and card about his Toast. It is evident that all Catholics are not idiots. At their faculty table he hears good things of (Maurice Francis) Egan's "Disappearance of John Longworthy". Only eight more lectures and then comes the short vacation. Stoddard caught a glimpse of Col(onel William) Hoynes the other day. When Hudson goes, Stoddard turns his back on Catholic organs.

Malbon,Father C(harles): Ushaw,England
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He is grateful for Hudson's letter and the three numbers of the Ave Maria containing favorable criticism of (R. H.) Domenichetti's book. Malbon gave him one of the copies. "The Quest of St. Bertrand" has not met with the success it deserved among the Catholics of England. It is gaining ground, and Orby Shipley has spoken well of it. Domenichetti is studying at Ushaw and has been doing good work in controversy with the supporters of ritualism. Their college is about to start the Usahw Magazine. It is surprising the amount of trashy literature that is springing up. Useful Catholic magazines are languishing for want of subscribers. Catholics look with pride at the success of Catholicism in America. Their Bishop, (Thomas W.) Wilkinson, told them that they ought not to leave all enthusiasm to the Salvation Army. Malbon offers to send a description of the history and buildings of St. Cuthbert's. He criticizes the ugly design of the cover of the Ave Maria.

Reilly, L. W.: Washington, D(istrict of) C(olumbia)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Reilly is grieved Hudson has been ill. He asks Hudson to put his wife, Rose M. Reilly, on the subscription list and charge it to the story. It is fatiguing and expensive to be doing nothing when one has a family to provide for. Reilly has been thinking of starting a Catholic paper for children. He would get up a library for boys and girls that would be Catholic and American and leave Maurice (Francis) Egan's "Little Savoyard" out in the cold.

Dorsey, Ella Loraine: (Washington, District of Columbia)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Dorsey's physical strength begins to carry her. The letter of Brother Francis, (C.S.C.) was very pleasant. They have met (Charles Warren) Stoddard and like him, but regret he dislikes social obligations. Robert Underwood Johnson, editor of the Century, went before Congress in January on the matter of the Copyright Bill. He expressed surprise that (Maurice Francis) Egan had not gone to the University, and said the surprise was shared by New York litterateurs and publishers. He seemed to consider Stoddard a halcyon bird. Could not Egan have a chair at the University? Bishop (John Joseph Keane) loves Stoddard. Dorsey strongly advised Johnson to write to Hudson, who is the warm friend of both men.

(MacDonnell), Sister M(ary) Magdalene: (Lisbon, Portugal)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Christian Reid's heroines are too good. Their pupils are of much coarser clay. Cardinal (Cajetan) Aloisi Masella sent her several Italian books lately. They are losing (Vincenzo) Cardinal Van(n)utelli, they say he will go to Rome before Easter. Bishop (Geremia) Bonemelli of Cremona translated Father (Jacques-Marie-Louis) Monsabre's conferences and added notes which were criticized and brought before the Congregation of the Index. The Bishop wrote Father Larocca on the subject and the latter told him in confidence his notes would be condemned. Bonomelli published the letter and Larocca was attacked. The Pope sent (Mariano) Card(inal) Rampolla to reprove him. It broke the old man's heart and he sank with depression of spirits. The new General will be elected in September at Lyons.
