Ward, Rev. Julius H.:
Boston, (Massachusetts)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Ward has been slow in getting to Brownson's book, but was finally able to give him a good and long notice, which will help a very interesting a timely work into circulation. He hopes Brownson is well and happy; he has been a little overworked and under the weather since Dr. Brooks was elected Bishop, but is gradually getting better.

Wigger, Bishop W(inand) M(ichael) and others:
New York, (New York)
to P(eter) P(aul) Cahensly:
Limburg, Germany
Several newspaper articles treating on the Memorial agreed upon at the Conference of the St. Raphael's Societies at Luzerne caused the undersigned Board of Directors of the Leo House to bring this matter up at its June 3rd meeting, and they are now acquainting Cahensly with the results. They express their warmest thanks for Cahensly's efforts in the interest of the emigrants. The Leo House was founded in New York at the suggestion of the New York St. Raphael's Society. They cannot approve of the steps of Cahensly and his co-operators of the Luzerne Memorial. It creates the impression that the St. Raphael's Society is to be made a party in existing national differences of Catholic clergy in the United States, and desires to influence the Holy See in favor of immigrated clergy. Also, the Memorial involves indirect complaint against the American Episcopacy, causing bitter feeling among them. The St. Raphael's Society in the United States has also been passed by and ignored. The demands or requests of the Memorial are altogether too far reaching. Why should Cahensly ask for ordinances which might be suitable for colonial endeavors in South America or Africa, but will not suit for conditions in America. The question of immigration will lead to great difficulties as there are now propositions in Congress to restrict or prohibit immigration. The way the Memorial has been treated in the newspapers creates the impression that Cahensly desires to influence the Holy See and representatives of European governments to interfere with internal affairs of this country, which strive on political issues. They think this view is a malicious construction but such an interpretation of the Memorial is an insult to the national pride of Americans, and can only be detrimental to foreign-born citizens, as well as to new immigrants. The undersigned consider it their duty to submit this information in order to avoid one-sided consideration of the question, and would be pleased to furnish further information if desired. The letter is also signed by W(illia)m Schickel, Jos(eph) Schaefer, P Klein, H Huebner.

Boonsboro, Maryland
to (Henry F.) Brownson:

Dahlgren congratulates Brownson upon giving to the English-speaking public so valuable a Life of Columbus at so opportune a moment and encloses a money order for a copy. She hopes they may again meet. She was always honored by the friendship of his distinguished father (Orestes A. Brownson), who was the god-father of her twins, Eric and Ulrica. Eric was married last December to Miss Drexel of New York and they are now in Europe. Ulrica is soon to be married to Josiah Pierce, Jr., of old New England— Essex Country, Massachusetts—stock.

Nilan, Father J(ames):
Youghkeepsie, N(ew) Y(ork)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Nilan asks for a circular on Brownson's Works, which he hopes to procure, along with Brownson's translation of Farducci's Life of Columbus, for the city Library. The latter will not receive much praise from Catholic critics, as it shows clearly the cruel character of the Spanish explorers, as well as their rapacity and general ill-treatment of the natives. Even Columbus evinced some of the same traits and deserves reprobation for his unjust initiation of slavery, although his motives may so far to exteruate his guilt. Catholic critics don't like to have their idols' undeserved honor lessened. Their love of truth is not their chiel characteristic. But Brownson has done a good work, and Nilan hopes the book will be extensively read.

Dormer, James H:
(Buffalo, New York)
to (William J. Onahan):
(Chicago, Illinois)
The prelates named in O'Brien's resolution to cooperate with the committee are - Archbishop (John) Ireland, and Bishops (John S.) Foley, (Camillus P.) Maes, and (Matthew) Harkins. O'Brien's motion to add these names is the only formal reference to the matter in Dormer's minutes. The postponement of the Committee meeting until October pleases Dormer, who also wishes that meetings will be held in Chicago, which would be most convenient for Onahan. Dormer notes with gratification the honor which Manhattan gave to Onahan. He supposes that South Bend has sent the parchment to Father (Patrick) Cronin, who has had recent unpleasantness with the Bishop of Rochester. How much truth is there in the semi-official St. Louis dispatch announcing that America's great apostle and prelate (Archbishop Ireland) had been named for the Cardinalate? He is glad to hear, from Gov(ernor) Carroll's dispatch to Onahan, that Count de Mun is likely to come to the Congress, where he will see a vigorous and free Church. Dormer still advises Onahan to take a trip over the Atlantic. All are healthy, regards to Mrs. Onahan and Mollie.

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

Gillon sends a pamphlet sent to her by Elisa Leon of Paris, a secretary of the association collecting postage stamps for the Work of Mary Immaculate. The association is composed of lay women who make these stamps into wallpaper, maps and plaques. The proceeds of the sale of these are used in the missionary cause. A few children in a town within ten miles of Boston have collected 18,000 so far. Perhaps Mlle. Leon would write an article in regard to the work for the Ave Maria.

When Robert's income is increased by a sale of Cragdon, he must visit Europe again. W(illiam) met Monsignor (George H.) Doane here on his way to the Engadine. W(illiam) has a letter from Liz (Elizabeth Seton) who was sightseeing in Antwerp. Also a letter from Harry (Secton) who will be helped by the sale. Sands sent accounts of the Seabright fire. Father (Isaac) Hecker's life in the C(atholic) W(orld) is curious reading. Hecker was an odd man; something of a dreamer and yet very American.

Guichainville, Metayer de:
New York, (New York)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Metayer agrees with Brownson in regard to their Columbus letter. He is going to write to Mr. Curtis. He thanks Brownson for the information concerning deposits in this country. He is enclosing a letter of a former depositor. He mentions a package which has disappeared and about which there seems to be considerable mystery. Sam Barlow and Mr. Gunther had addresses of his former depositors and through them they have secure copies of the famous letter which Barlow sold very easily. Barlow had written that Rockwood had asked to make a negative which was to be immediately destroyed. Harisse was well aware of what was going on. Metayer found a lithograph print of his autograph in a book in a book store. Thus far this document has been for him a source of trouble. There seems to be a conspiracy against it. Why all the fuss about a piece of parchment which they repeat has no value and is only a modern copy although a chemist has declared just the opposite? In Paris and New York there are some who wish to get clear of a compromising investigation. In New York there is fear of an investigation about the origin of the famous copies in Barlow's boxes. He has long been convinced as Brown is that they have the seal of the autographed manuscript of Columbus and that Tarducci wrote the truth about the second package sent to France. Someone has made off with it. When and where? But they will know in time in spite of the bravado of Harisse whom Guichainville has told off. He has perhaps made an enemy but he will not stop his investigations. He keeps sending out Brownson's prospectus and recommends his book in his letters.

Campbell, (S.J.), writes to one of their mothers that a priest, noticing that the storm was threatening, told the brothers to say an Act of Contrition. Soon seven were prostrate and three were lifeless. Sister sends three short stories. Lately one of her stories came out in the "Illustrated American" full of faults. She sent it to (Patrick V.) Hickey and had forgotten she wrote it. On Thursday Archbishop Ryan will lay the cornerstone of Sister Catherine's Convent in Andalusia. At present they occupy the old Drexel mansion.

to (William J.) Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
The Bishop hasn't received a line from Mr. Thomas, and as he shall have to be away from home, Onahan had better draw up the letter. Unless the Chicago Committee intends to take charge of the business in earnest, the Bishop will step out of the way and see what others can do.

to (James F. Edwards:

It occured to her that Edwards will probably meet Father (Edward Sorin, C.S.C.) when the Touraine is docking and bring him to the Sturtebant House. If so, he might have Father O'Connell call at Sweeny's Hotel and get Sorin's mail. She is glad Edwards will be the first to meet Sorin. They say Sorin is so lonesome.

It's a wonder Edwards wouldn't write. He has just returned from his vacation. They caught 180 fish. Fanny Rew writes that she would be over in August. A young lady from Des Moines made a great impression on George while he was at the lake. Tom heard that Edwards was married.

Field, Phil V.:
St. Louis, (Missouri)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, (Michigan)
Field has submitted Brownson's last letter to two firms representing a capital of at least $200,000, both of which look with favor on the matter; and it is now only a question of days and figures. A firm in this city has an author grinding out a life of Columbus, but if they can secure Brownson's plates and run in the World's Fair features in a publishers' introductory, they can beat out the other firm and can sell 200,000 copies the first two months, and Brownson can not object to that. With the addition of about 100 pages of World's Fair cuts and colored plates, the sales may reach half a million copies. They are anxious to publish the work and want to know Brownson's royalty charges and when they can expect to receive the plates.

Ocenasek, Joseph C.:

to James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
Since he left Notre Dame for vacation he cannot forget Edwards' kind attention. He is working for a wholesale clothing factory but likes college best. If only he could get in Brownson Hall among the other students. Over in St. Joseph's School they get nothing as students. But there are a good many waiters in the college who were admitted on account of Father T. E. Walsh. If Edwards speaks for him Walsh surely would give him a place.

Walsh, C.S.C., Father (Thomas E.):
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
to William J. Onahan:
Chicago, Ill(inois)
Professor (Maurice F.) Egan and Father Walsh intended to call upon Onahan before leaving, but were disappointed. Father Walsh doesn't agree with Onahan on being a member of the sub-committee since it should be composed of Chicago men. Egan's name was added for his prominence to the Catholic public, not because it was supposed he would take an active part. Father Walsh couldn't become a member for two reasons: there is too much work to do at Notre Dame to permit anyone to take up outside interests; and that the ecclesiastical authorities of the archdiocese would disfavor the appointment of an outsider. Notre Dame is willing to do her best to make a creditable exhibit - let other institutions do the same, and the success of the Catholic Educational Exhibit is assured.

They will go to the Tyrol about August; while there they will meet Liz (Elizabeth Seton). Isabel (Seton-Jevons) and her family may also be there. He and Sally called upon Mrs. Ruxton and daughter. Ruxton died recently in New York. W(illiam) first met her at her uncle's, Colonel Dement in 1856; Ruxton was then in Stile's bank in Dixon. Sands sent two pictures of the old mill at East Chester. W(illiam) remembers the Reid sisters, and Robert, the miller. About 15 years ago he called on Phebe Reid. They were pleased with Robert's discourse at Saint Aloysius Academy. The Navarro's country place must be a great loss to them. They are going to Sacred Heart today to call upon Madame (Sarah) Jones, the head of the order in New York. Sally will send by her a book for Madame (M.J.) Keller in 17th Street.

They arrived Friday from Dresden to do the cure for Laura (Edwards?) who has some mild liver trouble. They were expecting to go to Innsbruck to meet Sally and William (Seton). They are just four weeks landed; and a rest would be agreeable but the resort is so crowded and the hotels do not serve meals. The valley is so steep that cousin Mary (Seton) must use a donkey chaise to travel the mountain paths. She does not know their plans after leaving Carlsbad but they will probably visit Paris before he sails on October 17. The (Jonathan) Edwards spent the winter in Egypt. She had a letter from Nina (Prime) who seems to miss her. She hopes Temple (Prime) will invite Robert to Bar Harbor.

to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
De Lande thanks Hudson for the article on Father (John) Bapst, (S.J.). It is true but there was more to it. In the early days of her conversion Bapst related to De Lande this dream: He thought he came to a land where there were people of copper color and high cheek bones. He remained among these people and became attached to them. Within twenty-four hours Bapst had received orders to start for a mission in America. A woman he had seen in his dream ministered to his wants during all his mission and became his first convert. Bapst gave her the name Madeleine. Madeleine had a dream before Bapst came which coincided with his own. Such is the story Bapst told De Lande and her godmother. She has examined the letters Hudson sent, but they would be of little help. Early in the fall she will send all the money due on her club for the Ave Maria. De Lande hopes to send an article soon.
