Edwards, C(larence) R.:
Washington, (District of Columbia)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
Notre Dame, Indiana
(William Alexander) Sutherland had a three hour conference with Father (John J.) Wynne, (S.J.) which Sutherland reports as quite satisfactory. Edwards had to send Sutherland to Bloomington, Indiana. Edwards is at a loss, hearing from (Eugene A.) Philbin and others that Wynne is an impartial man, to reconcile this statement with his actions, until today he thinks he has found the source of his misinformation. A scandalous rumor came to his notice through (William Howard) Taft, to the effect that Sutherland was traveling about with two unattended Filipino girls. Edwards proved it a lie. He had sent Mrs. (William Alexander) Sutherland to the west coast to meet them and she came with them as far as Harrisburg. They met Sutherland in Philadelphia and he took them to the house of a good Catholic woman. But the rumor wouldn't down. He sent for Mrs. Sutherland and found the girls were afraid of (Joseph H.) Weber's assiduous attentions. Mrs. Fitzgerald with whom they are stopping told of Weber's annoying attentions. Four Filipino boys also have come to Sutherland saying that Weber was a snake in the grass. Weber told them he was trying to get Sutherland out, and get his position. Weber's true nature is shown in an article dated October 29th in the "Standard and Times." Weber knows Wynne well and this is the source of the poison that has been going in. Edwards will investigate fully. None of what he says is to be known except by Hudson and Father (John A.) Zahm, (C.S.C.) until he is advised of all the facts. He can't help believing that Wynne is getting his information from Weber and whatever the facts Weber seems to have succeeded in estranging the boys. He showed Hudson's letter to the President and the President appreciates Hudson's and Fr. Zahm's fair attitude in this case. He won't even bring the matter to Taft's notice.

Fox, Ned:
Dawson, New Mexico
to (James F. Edwards:

He received a letter from Edwards while he was sick but cannot remember much about it. He took the Medical examination for the position as doctor to the Dawson Fuel Company. It is a large mining camp of about 1000 people all of whom are under his personal care. It is grand to be in such a position where you have the respect of all. He has a house, two horses, two servants, and a large bank account. After he has enough money ahead, he will take a post-graduate course in Medicine and then locate in a large city.

to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
(Ira B.) D(utton?) has always seemed a little difficult and his personality did not impress Stoddard pleasantly when they met at Notre Dame. He is probably sincerely just and for this reason, believing he had sinned banished himself to M(olokai). Stoddard says he could just as well have gone to the slums of Chicago. Does Hudson remember the suggestion he made when the "L(epers) of M(olokai)" was to be reprinted from the pages of the Ave Maria that a chapter or two he added to lend interest to the narrative in pamphlet form? He could not add one line. He thinks that public interest in the Leper Settlement has subsided. The interest that remains is contained in Father Damien (de Veuster, SS.CC.) alone and his life as an apostle of the Lepers. (Theodore) Dwight he supposes (will?) write an appendix for it. He fears it will be bald and that his narrative will chill the reader. He will write to Brother J(oseph) and urge him to give his reminiscences of Father Damien.

He hopes Hudson has seen his abbot and likes him as he does. Yesterday he heard a great number of Catholics voted in the election.

Holland Patent, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
Notre Dame, Indiana
He wishes to have his name withheld from the accompanying letter: He read the article "Invincible Ignorance" in the Ave Maria with interest. "High Churchmen" are not blinded by the idea that private judgment has sovereign rights or that the Pope must wait till they are ready to come over in a body. They fear to make a move, when all is dark and unknown. He is a P(rotestant) E(piscopal) clergyman and would join Rome tomorrow if he could see a way to get a livelihood. He has been a clergyman for 27 yrs. and is married. Orby Shipley he believes had such clergymen in mind when he adds that hundreds of Anglican clergymen are in the same position as he was. He signs "An Anglican."

He read his article on American patriots and wonders if he ever heard of Patrick Barrett of Kent, V(irgin)a. For years Griffin denied that George Washington contributed to the erection of St. Augustine's Phil(adelphia). He thanks Hudson for his note on that question in the Ave Maria.

Years ago he met Archb(isho)p (Patrick John) Ryan and Bishop (Alfred) Curtis but nothing came of it. Six years ago Father (T.E.) Gallagher of Cumberland made arrangements to receive him, but after a talk with the Senior Father, he advised him not to come in at the time. Now he is alone. His wife lives with two sons in Cumberland. He knows they will be pleased if he joins. He would be willing to do any type of work. He is an Oxford man and asks Hudson to write to Archb(isho)p Farley to help him. He is just 50 years old.

Mrs. (Bellamy) Storer has proved to be a God-sent friend. He has for most of his life been interested in the occult. Nearly twenty years before his accident in the Rome Campagna where his arm was disabled for life it was read in his palm that he was to meet with an accident in which a horse was concerned. What shall we do with those clerical converts, especially those who are married and have families? Reverend Locke went hungry for awhile until he married a niece of F(athe)r (Isaac) Hecker. (James Field) Spalding who gave up his pulpit in Cambridge has been little better than an outcast. A Rev. Dr. Crowley whom he had met in Rome 15 years ago called. He has not changed in appearance since Hudson saw him at Notre Dame. He says he has not yet been reinstated. He asked after T(h)om(as) Cleary. Miss (Mary Gwendoline) Caldwell! Was there ever a more evident judgment upon any institution (Catholic University) pretending to be what it is not, never has been, and never can be, than this last scandal? He is ashamed of having his name associated with that institution.

Chatard and Macauley and Father (William M.) Foley of Chicago coming into Rome. He had a letter from his brother with the strange news that both the Caldwells had left the Church; they married titled gentlemen. His brother inherited some heirlooms and wishes to dispose of them. (William Seton) said that he felt the miniature of Mary Queen of Scots would not be appreciated by the Jevons, whereas Notre Dame University would prize it.

(Egan), M(aurice Francis):
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The Sisters have the worst(?) of it at Red Lake Reservation, (Minnesota). Father Thomas (Borgerding, O.S.B.) is as glum as an Indian. Father Corbinian (Hermanutz, O.S.B.)-a delightful man likes out-of-door life but the poor little German Sisters! He met one of the young Filipinos, the nephew of a friend in Manila. The wife of the French Ambassador, Madame Jusserand is very clever. He dined with her.
