Hudson's note about the pamphlet was gratifying. The Macmillan Company would be glad to publish Maurice Thompson's new book. They ask for a synopsis of the story. (Part of this letter is cut out.)

Cherubim, (C.S.C.) Sister M.:
St. Mary's Academy,

to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Edwards' kind remembrance of her proved a most grateful surprise. He seems to have a most exclusive right to sign himself "faithfully yours" for his fidelity to the saints at Notre Dame and his loyalty to his friends is indeed proverbial. Her heart goes out to him for all that he was to dear Mother in her days of sorrow.

Doyle wishes Brownson and his family a happy New Year, and acknowledges his error in his last letter about the nature of Christ. He encloses a check for $3 in payment for Vol. 3 of the Life. He presumes Newman derived his theory from Petavius and asks where he can get a good commentary on the second Chapter to the Phillipians, on the question of the Incarnation.

Seton, Mgr. (Robert):

to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He can only plead work and resultant tired feeling in not answering Edwards' highly exaggerated letters from Rock Island. Edwards is one of the few who believe that Seton ought to have a larger scope for his talents and a wider sphere of influence in the Church. (Francesco Cardinal) Satolli has not answered his letters. Satolli is a peasant and one of whom Religion has not been able to make a silk purse. How differently such men he knew in Rome long years ago.

Carow, R.S.C.J., Mother Th(eresa):
Grosse Point Farms, Mich(igan)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, Michigan
Mother Theresa thanks Brownson for "Brownson's Latter Life." She cannot hope to see Brownson for some time and is sorry that he cannot undertake so long a ride as that to Grosse Pointe, for the beauty of Lake St. Clair in summer would be refreshing the one who enjoys natural scenery as much as Brownson does. She has read the first two volumes of the Life with great interest. Her Sympathies were most aroused by (Orestes A. Brownson)'s earnest, disinterested labors for the bettering of the poor, or laboring classes, about which his prognostications have been realized. Surely the starvation wages for which the poor are obliged to work must cry to Heaven for vengeance. They all appreciated his ideas on education, particularly higher education. It is a great misfortune for the nation at large that the sons of wealthy men should be satisfied with a more commercial course. They try to counteract this evil by making the young girls under their charge desire learning for learning's sake and not on account of purely material advantages. The nation does not seem to be advancing in intellectual development, and even Boston, she is assured by a literary gentleman who returned there after many years of absence, seems to have dropped far below its aspirations in that direction of many years ago. She has been led to speak of these things by her remembrance of all that Dr. Brownson did and sacrificed in the good cause. He was encouraged by a great deal of success here below, but even without it he would have fought on. The case was different with Columbus; and Brownson's translation of Tarducci's "Life of Columbus" should be widely read, for it has all the interest of a novel, and the translation is well done. All of the community, from Reverend Mother Gavin down, have enjoyed hearing read the "Columbus" and the "Life of Brownson," in those portions which were suitable for general reading. She sends Brownson their best wishes.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:

to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
The Tablets and Brownson's letter of the 30th arrived. Doyle wishes to borrow the text of the Bull in Latin, concerning which he fails to see how the Prussian and Russian Jesuits could justify their non-attention to it, since the Society now owes its existence to the Pope. Doyle quotes from the article in the Encyclopedia Brittanica on the history of non-obedience to the Papacy by the Jesuits, and asks if Cretineau does not attribute the Belgian Revolution of 1830 to them. In reading O'Donnell's articles in the Tablet, he was reminded of what (Orestes A. Brownson) said in regard to their system being fatal to manliness and strength of character. He asks if Brownson wants to dispose of Theiner's Life of Clement XIV. He cannot call on Brownson after his trip to Pittsburgh next week.

O'Byrne, J. J.:
Bridgeport, Conn(ecticut)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
O'Byrne is displeased with Brownson's failure to waive protest on O'Byrne's bank note, an action which shows an evident intention on Brownson's part to force payment on it regardless of any inconvenience or expense that O'Byrne might be put to; and he does not think he deserves such treatment at Brownson's hands. He will take up that note and the other also due on the 24th as soon as he conveniently can, but if Brownson sends that note to the bank for collection, he will ignore it. He intends to quit selling Brownson's Works on the installment plan, and thus will not need to give Brownson any notes in the future. He has been selling the cloth sets for $50 on the installment plan, and the parties have often failed to make their payments promptly. For example, Father J(ohn) F. Fogarty has paid only $26 and Father J(ohn) F. Donahue has paid only $6, while O'Byrne has paid Brownson about $50 on the notes plus the freight charges. He now realizes how foolish he has been to do business on this basis, and it will be a lesson to him in the future.

However, by other means he found all except three and it would be probably time enough for Edwards to send those three.

O'Byrne apologizes for the language of his last letter, which he now realizes Brownson did not deserve, since the difficulty over his presenting the note was probably caused by carelessness at the Brooklyn Post Office, as he has recently not received a forwarding of a check for $44 from Father J(ohn) F. Donahue, and other letters have not been received properly. He will take up Brownson's notes as soon as he can. Longmans, Green & Co. have recently assigned another agent for Newman's Works to this diocese, which O'Byrne has proof was really granted exclusively to him, and this canvasser has stolen a sale from him, which he is having great difficulty in adjusting.

Huebscher, O.S.B., Brother Leo:
Rhineland, Texas
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Brother Leo thanks Brownson for "Brownson's Latter Life," which he will read at once. The plaintive tone and strain of Brownson's letter is unfortunately too well justified. Although he is also convinced of O(restes) A. Brownson's correct views and sound reasoning in regard to the generation of ideas, existence of God, being and existences, etc., he has too often found that he is pushed from the "professor's" chair as a dangerous innovator and perverter of the textbooks. If it is not possible for Brownson to finish his works according to his plans at once, perhaps Brother Leo can do something. The people want a Benedictine home established here; and if they get a press and competent men, he would be delighted to print the books free of charge, simply to cast them abroad, irrespective of criticism from groundlings. The heresy hunters who are steeped in liberalism cannot see the logic of eternal principles, even when a gifted man exposes them in the clearest and best of language.

Edward Hoover is keeping books. Robert Patrick O'Brien, Upper Sandusky, Ohio, is in charge of a large distillery. Father Hillebrand of Floyd Knobs, Indiana, says there is an old chalice there which he thinks may have been the property of Father (Louis) Neyron who died at Notre Dame in 1888.

Edwards Lester, one of the foremost of American pioneer authors, died in Detroit; but Bok has been unable to locate his grave and hopes that Brownson as a man widely interested in literature and a resident of Detroit might be able to help him. He can find no mention of Mrs. Tenney's middle name nor of the day and month of Judge Tenney's birth.

(Lisbon, Portugal)
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Sister thanks Hudson for the copy of "Troubled Heart". She always enjoys Stoddard's writings. She is glad Hudson liked her story. Would he like the story of a nun who posed as a stigmata? Sister is glad Hudson gave Marie Corelli her deserts. They have lost their good Queen.

Seton, Mgr. Robert:
Jersey City, (New Jersey)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
He is thinking of going over his letters to see if any might be of interest to Edwards. Man is often the architect of his own fortunes and an initial mistake often turns the current of life contrary to his own desires. After his ordination he desired to remain in Rome and become a canon of St. John of Lateran or St. Peter as many of his classmates have done. But he went to the expense of sending his library to this country and the Tweed Ring operations cut down the income on his New York City property at least $600 a year. For several years back he receives an income from that source of $1000 to $1400 a year. This is too little to live on in Rome. Here he gets an additional $1000 a year salary and as much more for Masses, besides living expenses. From a mere financial point of view he could not cut himself loose from his parish and go to live in Rome.
