Spearman, Frank H(amilton):
Hollywood, Calif(ornia)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He met a Father (J.J.) O'Keefe, O.F.M., who spoke of the Ave Maria. Spearman told him he knew Hudson. O'Keefe said Hudson was very ill. It turned out O'Keefe was talking of another Hudson. Spearman, his wife and four boys, left Chicago because Spearman needed a change of climate. They took Clark from Princeton; Lonergan is in high school. Spearman has been working on a new western novel, and his health is much better. Henry James told him of his visit to St. Mary's. James spoke slightingly of Notre Dame, but better of St. Mary's. Spearman thanks Hudson for his fine notice of "The Strategy". The Catholic atmosphere in California is delightful and Bishop (Thomas James) Conaty is doing great work. Fr. O'Keefe told him where Mary Mannix lives in San Diego. He asks if Hudson saw Mr. O'Malley's extravagant estimate of him in "the Rosary". He just finished "Loss and Gain".

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He has just read Hudson's criticism of "The Second Nocturn of St. Patrick," which was nothing compared to the scathing letter which he sent Lippincott's ordering his subscription stopped. He encloses their reply (no enclosure). The Sisters are preparing to rebuild the Children's Home.

They received the note telling them that Edwards would leave for the other side. She thanks Edwards for the letter he wrote to her.

Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
to James F. Edwards:
(New York, New York)
Edwards' favor reached him. Their President landed in New York last Sunday. He asks Edwards to remember him to his friends; he will not forget Edwards to his. Father (August) Goupille (C.S.C.) left to pay a visit to Mark Guerin in Chicago. The Provincial of the Holy Cross (Father John A. Zahm C.S.C.) in America was received in audience by the Pope. He gave the Pope $1,000. and photographs of Notre Dame; he is making arrangements for a couple of hundred religious to cross to the U.S. The first article of the Bill on "the separation of Churches and State" in France passed with an immense majority. It is said that Bishop (John L.) Spalding has improved somewhat in Hot Springs.

Herbert, M(ary) E(lizabeth, Lady Herbert of Lea):
Rome, (Italy)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Will the enclosed article do for the Ave Maria? She might have added some beautiful anecdotes told her by Cardinal (Herbert Vaughan) of the heroic sanctity of individual negroes. One woman who had been shamefully treated by her master, years after, took him in, dying and destitute and nursed him till he died. But Herbert was afraid the woman might be known in Baltimore and resent any notice. Herbert's indignation at the account given her by Mr. Cutting of their abominable treatment makes her anxiety to plead their cause even more urgent.
- A.L.S. - 4pp. - 12mo. -
Lady Herbert copies part of a letter written by Vaughan dated December 8, 1871. He writes that Archbishop (Martin John Spalding) of Baltimore in the Plenary Council of 1866 had drawn up a decree whereby the coloured people were to have a Vicar Apostolic and to be especially served by a separate set of priests. He was opposed by Archbishop (Peter Richard Kenrick) of St. Louis and others. As soon as it was heard that they (the Josephites) were coming (Spalding) was congratutulated on the unexpected realization of a portion of his programme; he has become their friend and protector (Spalding) has given them the Church of St. Francis Xavier; Vaughan addressed the 1500 coloured people there and declared that their priests had come to be their Fathers and servants. Vaughan is so kindled and roused by what he sees. The dislike for these people is intense. Priests and Religious look on (the Josephites) with the same kind of wonder they would entertain for an order of men vowed to live in a smallpox hospital. The Catholics have done next to nothing for them. They are reproached because they are going to educate them. Lady Herbert adds in a P.S.: In the Boston Reports of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith is quoted this remark, "If American Roman Catholics gave more to the Foreign Mission Cause they would have more to spend at home. This is a paradox of mission mathematics which Protestant experience had demonstrated."

Christitch, E(lisabeth O'Brien):
Belgrade, (Serbia)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson has caused an uproar in her house by his eulogy of Annie and her mother. She encloses a notice (no enclosure) on their Bishop (Joseph) Strossmayer who the Vienna papers style a foe to Caesar and an object of suspicion to Rome. She tells Hudson not to believe a word of it. Strossmayer is indeed liberal-minded. She is grateful Hudson speaks so encouragingly of Nicola, but now he has formed an attachment for a young girl of the neighbourhood and this makes her hopeless of any good result. A Mr. Fitzgerald of Wide World Magazine got pictures from her and a story on the Balkans and she never received a penny for them.

Harper, V(incent):
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
The editor of Lippincott's Magazine tells Harper that Father (Ferdinand) Kittell takes him severely to task for his recent story "The Second Nocturn of St. Patrick." He has not seen Kittell's strictures and Harper fears that Kittell must have wholly misjudged his motives. Harper—a lay outsider—should feel disposed to submit his judgment to a priest. He is sure Hudson will give him space in his columns to state that in writing he only wished to get others to love and respect a certain type of priest.

Halle, Marie:
Rome, (Italy)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Halle wonders if Hudson has sent a check for her article "A Sister of Charity in Arina"; she has not received it. She has succeeded in tracing the documents required for her "Life of Mary of Modena". Her friends, Father Ehrle, Mr. Bliss, of the Vatican Library, and Monsignor Wenzel at the Vatican Archives and Canon Mackey who is working at the Life of St. Francis of Sales all assure her that she will be able to get the necessary documents from their owner. She will start for Modena in Easter Week. She made the acquaintance of Father Etheldred (L.) Taunton who is staying at the pension. She fears something is wrong with his heart. Taunton suffers a good deal. Halle expects to get back to Paris about the 8th of May.

Edwards' letter and the treasures it contained in the autographs of (Orestes A.) Brownson made it a favor prized for life. He will prize highly any personal souvenir of Brownson should Edwards send it. He received a letter from Father (Stanislaus) Fitte. No copy of the Scholastic reaches the Catholic Club.

Tiernan sees clearly all that Hudson set forth concerning the manuscript. She sees from the reasons he gives that a story on such lines would not do. She will throw "Strangers and Pilgrims" aside and will write a story for Hudson on the model of "Heart of Steel."

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
McQuaid considers it almost a miracle that he has been able to drag Hudson away from the Ave Maria to attend the consecration of Bishop (James A.) Hickey on the 24th of May and the conferring of the doctorate on Father W(illiam) E. Cowen a pupil of Hickey's parochial school. Hudson is largely responsible for the invitation because of the many pleasant things he said of Hickey. McQuaid is sending copies of Cowen's thesis to Hudson. Hickey will send an invitation to Father Morrissey.

Lippincott, J.B. Company
Philadelphia, (Pennsylvania)
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):

Lippincott Company has received a clipping from the Ave Maria (April 8th issue) regarding Vincent Harper's article "The Second Nocturn of St. Patrick." The editor asked several intelligent Catholics to read the manuscript and the unanimous opinion of these was that nothing offensive had been intended. Lippincott's ask Hudson to reprint a letter (which is included in this letter) they received from the "Catholic Girls' Club" of (New York City), conducted by the Sisters of the Divine Compassion, and whose spiritual director is Monsignor (John) Edwards, in praise of "The Second Nocturn" and asking Harper to come and lecture.
