(Rhodius), George:
Indianapolis, (Indiana)
to (James F. Edwards:

There is not a word of truth in that Detroit information. The fire was a bad one. Not more than $2500 insurance. His mother felt badly because she did not take his advice to take out insurance.

De Costa, Reverend B(enjamin) F(ranklin):
New York, (New York)
to Monsignor (Robert Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
He has (Seton)'s letter. Geraldine's work is in the Lenox-Lily, also the Carter Brown (Library). Fiske may not have known of the bearing of the work; it is so rare. Rich and Stevens appear to have been well posted(?). About the origin of "San Domingo", from his difficulty with "San Antonio", De Costa is inclined to be careful. The derivation of names interests him greatly, but in some cases he has had to revise several times. He saw some of the sheets of Fiske's book. Fiske gave him reasons for one omission which does not apply. Bancroft, before he died, wrote De Costa that he left out the Northmen in his last edition for lack of room. He is misunderstood but he does accept the voyages. De Costa is glad that (Seton) is to give the paper next week and he will be there. P.S. He met Mr. and Mrs. (Louis Joseph) Sands on his trip to Naples last year.

Keane, Bishop John J(oseph):

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

Nothing could grieve Keane more than to have a difference with Hudson. It is not his fault if the tone of the Ave Maria, in the estimation of large numbers of intelligent people, is unkind to the (Catholic) University. The last citation in the Ave says not one kind thing about the Bulletin. Public opinion will surely say that the Ave Maria's notice is cold and ungracious.

to (James F.) Edwards:

He sends a little item of interest for Bishops' Memorial Hall. Father (L.B.) Palladino (S.J.) who used to live with Brondel is the author of "Indian and White of History of Catholicity in Montana".
In December, 1881, Brondel brought to Rome the acts and decrees of the 2nd Provincial Synod of Oregon with a letter written by Archbishop (Charles John) Seghers, who wrote how indignant they felt at the desecration of the remains of the Pope's Predecessor. Nov. 28, 1886 Seghers was assassinated by his guide while travelling on the Yukon in Alaska. His remains were left freezing in an abandoned cabin. A few faithful savages brought the body to Nulato and it was buried in the ice at St. Michael's. At the order of President (Grover) Cleveland in 1888, Commander Emery, U.S.N. brought the body to Victoria where the men of the United States and British war vessels paid last honors to the missionary of the cross.

Berlinquet has a new baby every year, and has three now living. The Ottawa government has made many economies and the Department of Public Works of which her husband is an engineer was one of the first to suffer. She has nine children in all, and no nurse. Berlinquet has written an article which she sends today. She sends their local saint as she has written him up. With the exception of the Ursulines the Three River Catholics are indifferent to everything above the level of their daily routine. It was Mr. ( ) Stewart who sent to Paris for plans and documents and finally brought the news to light. Their mutual friend Father Frederic de Ghyvelde, (O.S.F.), is much interested in this, but Berlinquet does not think he has done much with Stuart.

He assured her that he had been received into the Church by a Father Schleuter, S.J., in New York. He told her he went to confession and Communion in London. She asks Seton to ask Schleuter if he really received Arthur into the Church in October. Their mother thought his religion would help him. The Broughams were very kind to Arthur in London. Arthur told them that Seton had been very kind to him. Bigge hopes Seton still intends coming again to England.

Could the Historical Register have Seton's paper on the first American Roman Catholic Bishop, which Mr. Dyer wrote that Seton would deliver?

The German element will never become reconciled and one German left on the faculty (Father Joseph Schroeder) will do all he can to kill the bulletin. Stoddard sees as little of them as possible. As for the Bishop (John Joseph Keane), he is impossible with his head buzzing and old wives' tales! (Father Thomas J.) Shahan was enraged at Hudson's first notice.

New York, (New York)
to Father Daniel (E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Locke noticed in the Ave Maria a paragraph about Rev. Lewis T. Wattson of Kingston, New York. He has been a friend of Wattson for thirteen years. Wattson has been for some time interested in the Catholic Church. Locke asks Hudson's community to pray for his conversion. Locke himself is a convert, having been until two years ago an Episcopalian minister. His wife is a niece of the late Father Isaac Hecker, (C.S.P.). At the request of the Paulist Fathers he has just taken charge of a class for inquirers. Locke asks Hudson's prayers for Margaret Dampier, an intellectual English woman now studying at Oxford. He also asks prayers for Rev. Harvey S. Fisher, an earnest young Episcopalian. Does Hudson know of the Episcopalian cleargymen forming the religious order of the Holy Cross? The superior is Rev. Henry R. Sargent. His brother-in-law, Rev. Walter C. Clapp, became a Catholic last September and is now in the Paulist Novitiate at Washington. Clapp was before his conversion Professor of Exegesis at a theological seminary in Wisconsin. Locke feels like Father (Walter S.) Elliot, (C.S.P.), that if Catholics would only bestir themselves they might convert the whole country.

Jevons has not heard from (Seton) for a long time. Mr. Niddrie sent him a paper cutting in which (Seton)'s name appeared. He asked Uncle Will(iam Seton) who the correspondent was, but he did not say. Marguerite (Jevons) and Thomas spent from Saturday to Tuesday at Huntington. Aunt Elize (Elizabeth Seton) was very well and Cousin Nina (Prime) kind but he cannot say much for the manners of Cousin Temple (Prime). They had some sleigh rides to Cold Spring, Nathan Hales's cottage, and other places. The Bavarian racer imported by Aunt Elize is fine. Tonight Marguerite and their father (Thomas Jevons) will attend a concert at which Plunkett Greene the famous Irish basso will perform. George O. Gordon is going to take in charge a young Englishman, Yorke, recommended by Jack Gordon of London. He has asked Thomas to show Yorke around. He is nephew to Charles-Philip Yorke, Viscount Royston. The present Earl gambled away every cent and the nephew comes to make some money. Thomas looked up the name in Burke and finds it a very recent creation compared to the Setons, having sprung from Simon Yorke, merchant of Dover, 1682, Baron 1733. Does Seton know if the Barclays of Pierston are related to Earls of Lauderdale who are Barclay-Maitlands? And are not the Maitlands connected with the Setons? Uncle Will sails about April 5, per Burgoygne, and Thomas' father and Marguerite the same time by a Cunard boat. How much does it cost to join the Sons of the Revolution? He opens his first bank account next month by deposit of $20 which he hopes will be the origin of a fortune.

Brandi, S.J., Father S(alvatore)M.:
Rome, (Italy)
to Father (John) Edwards:

Brandi was delighted to received Edwards' letter and parish statement and congratulates him. He knew of Edwards' many occupations and did not wonder at his silence. In November he sent Edwards a photograph of the college of cardinals and a copy of the latest work on the Bible question translated into French. Archbishop (Frederick Xavier) Katzer, Bishop (Thomas A.) Becker and Bishop (John Stephen) Michaud are in Rome and have done great good by their informations. The position of Archbishop (Michael Augustine) Corrigan is getting better every day. Therefore Edwards is not to believe what the New York Herald says on that subject. The affair of (Bernard J.) McQuaid - (John) Ireland seems settled. Cardinal Rampolla had written a letter expressing the Pope's sorrow at the action of McQuaid, and McQuaid has written a letter explaining the provocation. Felix culpa. Brandi will be grateful for the intentions that Edwards will send him. Mr. And Mrs. Bliss are still in Rome and Brandi has done what he can for them. He had the Holy Father grant Mr. Bliss a private audience and the Pope entertained him for half an hour. He also arranged that Mrs. Bliss and her child assisted at the private Mass of the Pope and talked to him afterwards. They have been invited to the "Cappella Papale" to celebrate the anniversary of the Pope's coronation.
