He is sorry to learn of the mauvais coup that poor good Father General (Edward Sorin, C.S.C.) received that hastened his death. It will be a sad history and not edifying to read in after times and yet history must be the truth. Seton suggested to Charles D. Allen, the authority on book plates, to communicate with Edwards.

Elder asks Corrigan if he remembers such an agreement or that those words were in the minutes sent to them. They appear strange to Elder.

Boston, (Massachusetts)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Theodore Metcalf can tell Mrs. Wilder nothing and refers her to Martin Metcalf of Battle Creek, Michigan. She hopes to discover from Brownson the maiden name of Tilpha, wife of Jotham and mother of Asenath Metcalf, which she thought might have been Gordenou, and also whether there was anything peculiar in the history of Obadiah Delano. Charles Delano of Glenwood, Florida, thought Obadiah came to Boston to learn the mason's trade; and there was a John Delano there around 1799. His grandsons, men of ability, are Eugene Delano of Philadelphia, and Charles Delano, an engineer of Florida. Mrs. Wilder understands that Mertin Metcalf is preparing for publication.

Richards, W(illia)m:
Washington, D.C.
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Richards is pleased that Brownson is interested in his pamphlet on the Standard of Value and hopes that he may yet agree that the central point of the money question is to declare what shall be the unit of value, regardless of its representative, and then to define the value of the unit, just as Hamilton tried to do. It is absurd for such nations as the United States and Great Britain each to issue a legal tender gold coin as the unit of value, without defining its value and thus leaving it to depend upon the market price of gold as a mere commodity subject to all the influences of trade and the Exchange. Archbishop (William J.) Walsh of Dublin in his pamphlet on bimetalism makes it clear that it is the debtor who suffers, and this is the root of all financial troubles. The repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman Act only aggravated the disease. The great question is how to fix the value of the unit, but it can and must be done if they are to be delivered from the cruel grasp of the Plutocratic power. Richards agrees with Brownson that it is a relief not to have the savage articles about Archbishop (John) Ireland, whose speech at the home of (James) Cardinal (Gibbons), Richards admires. Brownson probably knows about Father (Walter) Elliott's missions to the heathen and Protestants; and Richards hopes that he will show the Prelates how to do a great work. If there were a dozen men like Bishop (John J.) Keane to travel over the country to call out the people, thousands could be brought into the Church; and if the Mass could be said and sung in English, how the people would come in. Richards has not met Archbishop (Francesco) Satolli except at a reception, but he is admirable in every way and his mission has been a great success. Richards hopes there is a good demand for "Brownson's Views".

Horstmann, Bishop Ign(atius) F(rederick):
Cleveland, O(hio)

New York, New York)
Horstmann gave permission to a venerable looking Maronite Father to attend to the Maronites, Arabians and Syrians in this diocese. Horstmann wrote to Father Jazbek and he said he had heard of him. Horstmann hopes he is all right and wishes (Corrigan) could give some information if he has any. The name on his papers is Father Anthony. Horstmann was disappointed with the Archbishops' action about the Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows. Father (Joseph) Pohle of the University has been appointed Professor of Theology at Munster and will leave at the end of the year. Horstmann did not reply to Bishop (John J.) Keane's letter about Father (Thomas) O'Gorman's election as dean.

The enclosure referred to in his last letter was really a package containing Seton's own portrait in water colors. He is always weak after trying to decipher one of Seton's letters. They missed each other last summer not only in the West but at Cape May. Seton left two weeks before Esling arrived with his little son Edward. (P.S.) Esling does not feel complimented by Seton's inferring that Esling is the only respectable person the Catholic Church can scare up in this country. He gets enough of that from his Protestant relatives and friends.

The passing of the venerable founder of Notred Dame (Father Edward Sorin, C.S.C.) was suggestive; he went to his reward amid surroundings such as have been vouchsafed to none of his contemporaries. Catholics of America have but a hazy idea of what an institution Notre Dame is. Elliott suggests that Notre Dame prepare a complete description of the college with a catalogue of its relics, art treasures, manuscripts, etc. Such a work should be extensively circulated.

They wanted him to take charge of a new foundation in the Argentine Republic but he declined. Stone may go back to South America some day. His occupation is to give lectures to young priests who have finished their theology and are preparing for missionary work. January 2, 1894: he is to go to Pittsburgh towards the end of the month to take part in the congress of their missionary fathers. After that he may go to Rome.
