This is his third letter of congratulation to the Bishop. The Administratior will tell Galberry of the relations between the American College at Louvain and (Bishop Francis P. McFarland).

She is happy to receive the money order, although wishes to carry on his work gratis.

Healy, James Augustine, Bishop of Portland:
Portland, (Maine)
to James A(lphonsus) McMaster:
(New York, New York)
Canon Walsh was removed fairly from his parish, as being a stumbling block and continued source of scandal to his people. Walsh's letter states simply that he is under no censures but is too vain and foolish to sport the purple. His morals are unaccused but his temper and tongue are abusive and in all charity to him Healy says he is partially deranged. He has been forcibly given permission to travel and is not likely to receive a position in that diocese as long as Healy is Bishop. Cardinal Franchi should know of these facts and since Healy has destroyed McMaster's letter he may go to the Cardinal and freely give him Healy's name to the fact that Walsh has driven hundreds from the church.

Seton, William:
Munich, Bavaria
to (Orestes A. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Seton's passage over to Church was charming, the sea was smooth. His mockingbird arrived safely and is the wonder of the street. Helen seems happy in the convent. Robert Seton has written once. A short story entitled "Devil's Christmas Gift" will soon be published in the Catholic World. Another is in progress. The publishers, Appleton, has "The Poor Millionaire". The book will appear next winter. Seton thinks he will try his hand at something more serious. He contemplates writing a history of "Lady Abesses of the middle ages". Seton would like Brownson's opinion. Professor Bach has urged him but Seton is skeptical because the work would take 5 or 6 years. He has met Dr. Dollinger only once since his return. Next autumn a meeting of all Catholics in Germany will be held in Munich. Six weeks ago the 100th anniversary of "Gorres" birth was celebrated. The oration was delivered by Professor Bach. Dr. Franz Binner wants a photograph of Brownson. Brownson has already sent two but those are for Seton and professor Bach. Seton encloses a small picture and would like it kept in memoriam. Elizabeth is busy translating a german book. Seton will write once in a while. Regards are extended to Henry.

Borgess, C(aspar) H., Bishop of:
Detroit, (Michigan)
to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell:
of (Cincinnati, Ohio)
Borgess acknowledges Purcell's Easter greetings and the enclosure of an anonymous letter from Niles, (Michigan). Borgess has never had any complaint from Niles nor heard anything derogatory of Father J(ohn) Cappon. He believes him a good priest but believes that his neighbors at South Bend do not check certain persons who go to Notre Dame and are stringently national. Father C.L. DeCeuninck refused to resign. In consequence he was attacked taking some of his things from the church. The keys were taken from him and the church locked and bolted. He drew a revolver and was sued on charge of assault with intent to kill. The blessed sacrament remaining there, Borgess sent Father Michael O'Donovan to remove it. DeCeuinck persists in his determination to sue his accusers. Borgess has begun his confirmation tour. He will continue until June 19.
P.S.—Dr. O(restes) A. Brownson died this morning at 4 o'clock.

She desires for her sketch a place in the Ave Maria. The remarks of the Resurrection in the Ave Maria appealed to her. Tangled Paths was rather humorous and Adrift was rather human.

She would like to know the postage on the Ave Maria to Georgetown and if the Ave Maria can be taken by monthly payment.

Mac Carthy heard this morning from Father (Isaac T.) Hecker of the death of (Orestes A. Brownson). It was a great blow to him and to all Catholics in this country. He knows that there were those, even among Catholics, whose admiration of (Brownson) was not unmixed. But Mac Carthy always entertained not only admiration but sincere affection. If he is permitted, as he believes he shall be, he intends paying his poor tribute in one or more of the Catholic papers. By Father Hecker's express desire, there shall be an article in the coming June number of the Catholic World on (Brownson) prepared by a hand and mind more competent in every respect. They should be happy if Henry assisted them in supplying facts and reminiscences of (Brownson's) life. The N. Y. Times had an excellent obituary as newspaper obituaries go, the Herald a fair one. There is to be a solemn requiem mass for the repose of (Brownson's) soul at the Paulists' tomorrow.

Rohan could have written just after his visit to Brooklyn, and thanked McMaster for the picture of their esteemed friend but he delayed it. He has copied the poem he sent McMaster in order that it may be used in some way. The immortal poem "Conquered Banner" by the unknown author Maria, was found by Rohan in an obscure Selma (Maine) newspaper, and he sent it to McMaster for publication. McMaster must have a good reason for not publishing it so Rohan must not feel hurt. Father M. O'Keefe and his parents are pleased to have his picture. He wishes McMaster could persuade the Chevalier to send a picture of himself. All the pictures he has are confederates, made since the war. His Eminence Cardinal McCloskey hangs beside McMaster. He invites McMaster to Norfolk. The mother of their friend Miss Cassidy has been ill lately. He imagines that the woman whom the Freeman's (Journal) mentioned as giving F(ather) McCullum a cameo of our Holy Father was Helen Keiley. His sister Mary has written some stories of the saints for children, in alphabet form but he will not take up McMaster's time by sending them to him.

Sarah cannot realize (Orestes A. Brownson's death) or write more than a few lines this morning. The last letter said he was much better. Sarah hopes Henry will write her everything. Henry cannot imagine how strange and dreadful it seems, not having had any idea of (Brownson's) being seriously ill. The (Tenneys) hoped to have had him brought on here where he has many friends and his last letter told how well he was doing in money matters it could easily have been done. She is very sorry about it indeed. It will be a great disappointment to a great many here. His lifelong associations were in this part of the world and it would have given people one opportunity to do him some sort of justice. Sarah does not see what can be done now. Henry's telegram says the funeral is arranged for tomorrow. All that can be done is to render (Brownson) the honor which he deserved and which will be freely given him one of these days. Sarah does not think anything should have been done in haste. Sarah wants all the particulars and wonders what could have been the matter to pull him down so suddenly and unexpectedly.

In this country they can only preserve what is handed down to them, but Purcell has had the privilege of bringing forth a Church and fostering it until it has grown to great size. Purcell's will be the crown of a Patriarch, but he does not want him to wear it soon.

He will remember Purcell at Mass between now and then, not only on that day, to thank God for all the blessings He has given Purcell and through him to others. He has had his share of the benefits that He has enabled Purcell to confer on others. From the night he first reached the Mountain in Mr. Livers' old stage he was one of Purcell's children and all the teachings and examples he received at the Mountain even after Purcell had gone off to a bigger field were directly or indirectly the fruit of Purcell's labors. May Our Lady of the Mountain preserve Purcell as a City set upon a Mountain to draw the eyes and steps of the people seeking life. May she guide and support him a long time through the desert and bring him to the Mountain of God. He asks remembrance in Mass that he may not give out on the way.

After due consideration the Sacred Congregation asks Purcell with the other bishops of the province to meet in special assembly to name three living ecclesiastics whom they consider suitable for such appointment and submit their names to the Holy See. Gilmour has suggested Father Felix M. Boff his vicar general. That would please the Cardinal had he not learned from Purcell's letter of Mar. 29 that Boff is seriously ill.

They seem to think most of Father (Jean Baptiste) Avenard and Father (Felix) Dicharry but doubt whether either of them is active enough. Some of them think, what (Elder) understood Bishop (Auguste Marie) Martin to signify, that Dicharry would soon break down under the responsibility.

to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché):
Sister writes for Sister St. Joseph, (R.U.), who misses (Perché) very much and hopes for news direct from him. They hear he is returning only in October. Last week Mother St. Augustine, (R.U.), bought one of (Perché's) large photographs, taken in France, and Sister St. Regis, (R.U.), saw Sister St. Joseph sitting before it and speaking to it. No doubt (Perché) has heard about the results of the election (the Ursulines) had. They are now an oasis of peace. The fusion of hearts is complete expect for three or four or more who, nevertheless, do not show their feelings openly. Mother St. Séraphine, (Ray, R.U.), who is still a model of piety and regularity despite her 81 years, is mistress of novices, Sister St. Michel, (R.U.), is general mistress and has for her assistant Sister St. Lucie, (R.U.), who is also nurse for the children. Sister St. Madeleine, (R.U.), is in charge of the turning-box with Sister St. Vincent, (R.U.), for her assistant. Sister St. Joseph is treasuere, and Sister St. Ursule, (R.U.), is trustee. Sister St. André, (R.U.), is nurse for the religious. Sister St. Gabriel, (R.U.), is aging very much. Sister St. Gertrude, (R.U.), Sister St. Helene, (R.U.), and Sister St. Paule, (R.U.), are still the same. Sister St. Regis, (R.U.), is superintendant of orphans. She must also name their younger Sisters who are very attached to him: Sister St. Félicité, (R.U.), Sister St. Charles, (R.U.), Sister St. Jean, (R.U.), and poor Sister St. Cécile, (R.U.). She hopes (Perché's) blessing will give the latter peace of soul. Their lay-sisters, although overburdened with work - postulants do not come and of four Swiss whom Bishop (Claude Marie) Dubuis brought them only one has persevered could not be more content. The boarding school since adding to its buildings now has 82 children. Since she has been confined to the convent by an illness, Sister St. Louis, (R.U.) has taken her place at the school. She has received a letter from a member of her family informing her that Father Gaillard had visited (Perché) at St. Jean's of Lyons. That made her happy.

(Tenney), Sarah (M. Brownson):
Elizabeth, New Jersey
to Henry (F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Sarah dismisses the idea of having a "Month's Mind" (for Orestes A. Brownson) but since there have been an immense number of requiem masses offered for him by the time the 17th (May) is here his friends will feel they have shown him all honor. Yesterday the Paulists honored (Brownson) in a style beyond any thing the other churches could attempt. Printed invitations, the church heavily draped; solemn high mass with innumerable ceremonies, priests beyond counting and a funeral sermon by Father (Augustine F.) Hewit. The Judge (William J. Tenney) and Jessie (Tenney) were there. Sarah has not been able to go out for some time. Father (F. X.) Weninger and other priests have written that they have sung masses for (Brownson), and there were a great many said at the Redemptorists in New York at the first news. So Sarah has decided to give up any particular demonstration here on the 17th and she thinks the same reasons may apply for Detroit. Everybody has his own duties and his own life to lead, and it is hard to get them to make interruptions especially when they have already shown some respect to (Brownson). In regard to the other matters Sarah would like to meet and discuss them and come to a settlement that would save all unpleasant feeling in the future as well as all expense and disturbance now. Sarah takes it for granted there is no will because (Brownson) could not bear the mention of such a thing. (Brownson's) promises were very clear and often repeated, and he meant to give to each that which would be of most advantage to each. He wrote Sarah in his last letter that he had $ 2000 out at 10 per cent and over $ 1200 in the bank. There should be two months pay on the annuity, there is a little money at Sadlier's O'Shea perhaps has something on the "American Republic" if anybody could get it, and Sadlier says he has commenced arrangements to republish the Convert. From what Sarah knows she should think there would be about 3000 left after all his funeral expenses are paid. There may be other things Henry knows of. The plates of the Review belonged to (Brownson) and are worth at least half of what they cost, his library has been valued at least at five or six thousand dollars, he always said that the copyright of his works which he promised Mammy (Sarah H. Brownson) to give to Sarah would bring her a handsome income as long as she lived. This still more now as Sarah has the Judge to help her with them, with the Judge's knowledge and position at Appleton's. Orestes (Brownson) would be very foolish to set up any claim for these or the library, because he could not make any use of either, but it would be just like him to think himself the very one to fall heir to the literary inheritance. He always considers that he should have the lion's share, and yet Sarah did not even send him a thing of Mammy's although Sarah wished to. Their mother told her to send all the clothes to the Little Sisters and so Sarah did; the other things remained here for the use of the house, and Agnes and Dolly made havoc among them. (Orestes) and Sarah are excellent friends. His admiration for her has increased wonderfully since he finds she has such a tearing little Brownson "buster" as Ruth. Sarah suggests that if (Orestes) is practicable that Henry give him the government's clothes. (Orestes) is too proud to allow them to be counted in his portion, but they would really be of far greater value to him than a lot of books would be. There were fourteen nice shirts which Sarah does not suppose Henry could wear and which would be a Godsend to him, whether they fitted or not. (Orestes) and May (Brownson) have always been so poor they could never get more than the scantiest furniture, and the sheets would be an immense lift. They would come good to any woman, Sarah would not mind a dozen or two extra herself, but she supposes Fifine would feel as she does, that she would rather they go where they are most needed. Sarah only mentions this, because she has lived there and knows how they are situated. Henry should not mention this to Orestes until everything is settled. She asks Henry to write her frankly just what his ideas and wishes are, and she will try to reconcile hers with them, and at the same time be perfectly fair and satisfactory to Orestes. If Henry does not wish to open the matter, Sarah will write (Orestes) when Henry wishes and if he claims too much she will tell him what she told Henry last summer of (Brownson's) promises to her as his housekeeper in the first place and for her services in regard to the Review up to the fall of 1873. Sarah has only written disconnected ideas and in a hurry. She wishes first to know what Henry would like best and what seems to him the fairest arrangement all around an hopes Henry will be as frank as she has been.
