He is ashamed to think he has not written for a month. They were disappointed in the fair. He discusses field and track events of the school. Their football team has yet to distinguish itself, for they have not made a legal touchdown yet. He is taking French. He invites Edwards to Louisville. Edwards should look up the Doerhoefer boys at Notre Dame.

Seton, Mgr. Robert:
Jersey City, N(ew) J(ersey)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He is going to ask an interview with the editor of the Com(mercial) Adv(ertiser) to see if they can come to an understanding about a Roman correspondent. He would prefer to write for a New York paper as most of the society gossip of the American colony in Rome would be about Eastern people. He would like to see ex-attache's letter on Seton-Thompson's change of name. It is a piece of vanity having only a slight foundation in fact: viz. that his grandmother or great grandmother Ann Seton was a grandchild of a certain George Seton last Earl of Winton in 1715. Seton is glad that Edwards is so successful in obtaining really valuable things for Memorial Hall. He is going to Washington to see President (Theodore) Roosevelt and Cardinal Martinelli.

to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Brownson will find the statement about the incompatibility of the Bishop's jurisdiction on page 376 of the Tablet of September 7. He hopes that Brownson is not bothered by gout or rheumatism. He wants to know what Brownson thinks of "Socialism" by Richaby, S.J. which he is sending under another cover. Father Oberle will buy the Hebrew dictionary and Doyle will sell it for Brownson if he sends it to him. Regarding Brownson's not writing because his articles are viewed with suspicion by Cardinal James Gibbons, Ireland, etc, it seems to Doyle that all they write is viewed with anxiety and suspicion by the rest of the clergy. He thinks Brownson's Reminiscences would sell well and hopes to see them in print soon.

Lambert, Father L(ouis) A.:
Scottsville, N(ew) Y(ork)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Lambert, having been sick for some weeks and not being able to look after his paper, is glad that Brownson took it in hand to correct Stockley. Brownson may be sure that if he were not sick, Stockley's reference to (Orestes A.) Brownson would not have gone without editorial comment. The idea that Dr. Brownson used the first part of Pius IX's works to prove the second part untenable is ridiculous. Pius IX knew, Dr. Brownson knew, and Stockley ought to know that the proposition "Outside of the Church there is no salvation" has reference to free agents and that invincible ignorance takes from an agent his freedom of choice. Father Lambert explains that a person, who is invincibly ignorant cannot be held to believe or practice something of which he knows absolutely nothing. If however, he knows the Church but refuses to believe it, he is not invincibly ignorant and therefore subject to the proposition "Outside of the Church there is no salvation."

Bellord, Bishop James:
London, (England)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
Notre Dame, Indiana
Hudson is spreading Bellord's views in a most successful way. There would have been no propagation if he had sent his articles to an English magazine. "Pastornalia" would possibly not have dared to print them. There is need of a final article on the necessity for fervor, holiness and enthusiasm in teachers. The great evil is that priests are not taught about the duty of catechizing about its methods.

(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Yesterday Stoddard lectured on Hazlitt to a breathless audience of one. The establishment (Catholic University) is disintegrated, and no two can pull together. Last year he had only laymen in class. Yesterday Father (Thomas James) Conaty told Stoddard that the deans of the faculties decided to drop him from the faculty of philosophy. They are obliged to curtail expenses. He was dropped because he only lectures, he is sometimes ill, and he does not often attend faculty meetings. The deans — (Maurice Francis) Egan is one of them — passed their resolution to the senate. The senate accepted it and turned their resolution over to Conaty. He has to present it to the Board of Directors which meets next week. Conaty suggested that Stoddard hand in his resignation. Stoddard will do this.

He intends to visit Notre Dame where he spent the happiest days of his life. The Catholicity of those educated by the state seems conditional.

He hopes Edwards will make a good arrangement of his relics so that they will be a constant sermon of his twelve years labor in the army as chaplain, in the Rocky Mountains among the soldiers and frontiersmen and Indians. He was instrumental in getting Bishop Richard Gilmour (of Cleveland) to send six nuns. (Ursuline) to begin a mission among the Cheyennes on the Tongue River in Montana. Those first six nuns have increased to 75. He had too much to do at Doylestown so he asked for a smaller place.

Ganss is glad Hudson called attention to the scandalous arraignment of the women of Italy by Dr. (Robert) Nevin. He is a son of Dr. John Williamson Nevin, the leader of the Mercersburgh movement in theology. Dr. (Johann Joseph) Dollinger in his Catholic days considered Nevin the greatest American theologian. Nevin rang the bell to bring others to the Church but never got there himself he lost grace and died a Swedenborgian. "Bob" Nevin did some service in the volunteer army of the war of the rebellion. He entered the Episcopalian ministry and secured a church in Rome after Victor Emmanuel's robbery. By attention to Miss ( ) Wolfe, a wealthy spinster, he prevailed upon her to build "St. Paul's within the Walls". Since then Nevin performs what his sister Blanche (Nevin) calls "a social function" in Rome.

Brownson goes further and objects to all empty titles for American priests and bishops. Monsignore may do in Italy, but it is out of place here. If a bishop is pastor of St. Mary's beyond the Tiber, he can well be spared from Baltimore to take charge of his parish.
