Bennett, J.:
Sunman, Ind(iana)
To Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (CSC):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Bennett waited to hear the worst of the fire and feared that the office was gone as his last weeks paper did not come until today. He believes that Our Lady protected the Ave Maria and thinks that may be the statute was not acceptable coming from Napoleon. He sends a dollar with his letter as he is sure a loss was sustained and if not the dollar may be used as desired. He would like to get a copy of Our Saviour's likeness. P.S. He has received no bill for letters yet.

to James F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana
They are in the midst of house-cleaning and his room is a sight. They sent two car loads of goods to Helena, Montana. He hopes Edwards will come there this summer. He should very much enjoy seeing the corpulent vice-president (Thomas E. Walsh, C.S.C.) bracing up to a load of bricks. There is no doubt but that he does it gracefully. Brother Timothy (C.S.C.) was up here, but the Bishop (Thomas L. Grace) refused to give his sanction to a subscription paper, but friends of Notre Dame were free to contribute. Widdicombe supposes Bishop (John) Ireland will found a university here some day.

Cartin, Patrick:
Herrins Prairie, (Illinois)
to James A(lphonsus) McMaster:
(New York, New York)
Cartin asks that his subscription to the Freeman's Journal be stopped. Living 20 miles from a church, he is only able to attend Mass a few Sundays each year and consequently he has heard nothing concerning the Pastrol of Bishop (Peter Joseph Baltes, of Alton, Illinois), except what he has seen in the Journal. Recently he wrote his parish priest telling him of the great good the paper has done for him and his family in a community where the people hate everything Catholic. The Bishop would surely understand his attitude were he himself in such a situation. Receiving no answer to the letter, Cartin took his family to church but had to promise in Confession that he would no longer read the Journal. There are a great many complaints circulating about the Bishop (Baltes) and it is difficult to judge their accuracy, but certainly there is something wrong somewhere for the Bishop doesn't know or does not care how much good the paper is doing. Cartin hopes McMaster's case will be justified and asks that his subscription be continued if the Bishop lifts his censure.

Hickey, P(atrick) V.:

(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hickey thanks Hudson for the Ave Maria and hopes he did not deprive the desolated library of it. He has ordered a set of the Catholic Review for Hudson and this will be one of the few sets which can be procured. There is an abundance of matters of great interest in the paper and he knows that he has a quid pro quo in the Ave Maria. He is glad that Hudson liked the lines he wrote on Notre Dame and had planned to write more, both on Notre Dame and on Mother Angela's work, but the fire scorched out that article. Father (Thomas E.) Walsh, C.S.C., called Hickey and he gave him all the advice he could. When he returns from Chicago he will tell him all he can. Hickey inquires if this Mr. Hutchinson, of whom Hudson spoke, is the gentleman who presented his son to Pio Nono as a young Swiss guard. If so, it adds another interest at his delightful letters. He can say nothing of Father deBruno's work until he sees it. If he has not yet printed the third edition perhaps Hickey could buy the plates cheaply. If so Hickey would like to know the price. P.S. His sister wishes to say that their moving delayed the collection and binding of the February "Catholic Review" promised Hudson. He asks Hudson for the account of the September Miracle of last year by Henry Lasserre and any account of Bernadette's death that Hudson may have. Did Father Walsh send Mother Angela the list of Catholics Hickey gave him?

Her health is still delicate but a physician said he could cure her and she asks Hudson to pray for her. She enclosed a $100 to aid in the rebuilding of the University, and she tells Hudson that even though her husband never refused to give to a Catholic Charity he was opposed to supporting the Church and said that without money the Catholic Church would not stand a day, and that is why she has always wanted her donations kept in secrecy, but now, she is very proud to be able to be one of the first to contribute to Hudson for Notre Dame's calamity. She asks that he continue sending the Ave to Father (John) Bapst and send her regards to Father Provincial.

Mother Josephine sends her sympathy for the disaster of (University of) Notre Dame which she saw in last week's Ave Maria. The want of sound Catholic instruction is too much felt not to take a lively part in the misfortune of the University. She sends a small mite toward the reconstruction. She is sending a manuscript which she would like to have inserted in the Ave Maria if it is interesting enough. It is about a new chapel of theirs, and they all feel obligated to the Catholics in the states for the help given toward the work since it was started. P.S. She asks for some missing numbers of the Ave Maria as they are binding the series and cannot be without these few. She begs his prayers for an invalid in mind and in body.

She is sending Hudson another chapter and wants Hudson to see if it is numbered correctly. Someone has been altering previous chapters. Unless Hudson thinks it is best to correct she would rather have no chances. The next chapter will conclude the story. She asks Hudson to send her a check as she is in need of money. Her daughter Mrs. Eastman is very ill, her son-in-law is ill with a disease of the heart. Hudson should pray for them. Brother Stanislaus visited her and was looking very delicate. She persuaded him to try a Holman Pad, and he had heard of them in England. He interests her very much as a man of superior intelligence and she wonders why he is not a priest as he is deeply religious. Hudson should not think she has made too much of "Beth's" disappointment, for it is one of the greatest that can come into a woman's life. It will come out beautifully in the end. Theology was not attempted in the Tale. She has left that for the priests, except in the chapter of today where Father Thomas says plain things to Beth. She thanks Hudson for the "Nora Brady" notice and couldn't Hudson get the man who wrote the notice on "Tangled Paths" to notice it?

Dorsey, Anna Hanson:
Washington, (D. C.)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Mrs. Dorsey's silence was caused by something she had no control of. She has been ill, but her heart is nearly broken with the illness of her daughter, Nellie, who was threatened with typhoid fever. Even though the priests love the Blessed Virgin, she wonders if they love her in her sorrows as mothers do, when they are hurt by the sufferings of their children. She asks Hudson to have some prayers offered for her daughter as her life means much to her six children. Hudson's check was received and she was glad Hudson had the sketch complete as she could not possibly have finished it with so much illness in the family. If Hudson desires she will write another tale at her leisure for the Ave Maria. She believes that with a large subscription list the Ave Maria can afford to pay for first class contributions, and it would increase its circulation. People who live in the world and see the progress of enterprises know how necessary it is to invest money to increase their gains. People sometimes have peculiar ways of managing affairs. She would like to write for the love of writing, but it is evident that it is not Our Lord's will, as she is compelled to do otherwise. She asks Hudson to send her a photograph.

After all this Germany and it seems like coming from a grave yard into the land of the living where an honest intelligent people are living in the future rather than the past. Dr. (John Joseph Ignaz von) Dollinger who is unreconciled to the Vatican and is pretty old and will not accompliar much. Dollinger inquiered after Henry and seemed pleased when Hull told him what Henry has done for human progress in the way of children. Munich is a dear old city and the people all happy and prosperous. In fact Hull has seen no imperished, impoverished and descontented people since he left his own country; where people think others miserable because so many of them are in that condition. The modern paintings of Munich he considers the best in Europe. In Venice they have the largest pictures of the muster; in Florence the most and in Rome the best. Hull is surprised to find here more enterprise more building than any other city and the finest built city, except perhaps Paris. People rather better dressed than in Paris. From here he goes to Desden and Berlin and then homeward via Paris, England, Scotland and Ireland. This way he of little interest to Henry who has been over this ground, except to know that all are well. In Rome, all spoke very highly of Father (Ernest Van Dyke.)

Gafron, O.S.F., Father John:
Bayfield, Wis(consin)
to Father J. B. (M.) Gen(n)in:
New York, N(ew) Y(ork)
Gafron regrets that he is unable to send Gennin the copy of the letter he asks for since he has sent it to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs at Washington, D. C., just two weeks previous. Instead, he sends a short summary of its contents. in the Indian Reservation at Bad River, Wis(consin), there are 570 Indians and half breeds belonging to the Chippewa Indians of Lake Superior. There are 279 Catholics, 29 Protestants, and 202 pagans. The Protestants, even though a great minority, many years ago received 300 acres of land from the government for their mission, and in addition they also receive a public fund of $5000 a year for their school and mission. The Catholics receive no aid for their mission and never have received any. At the time the Protestants received this 300 acre land grant the Catholics already had built a church at Bad River, but unfortunately the site of the church was located on the land given to the Protestants. The Catholics lost that church since the minister took it over and used it as a barn and stable for several years. Some years ago the Catholics and white people built a new church but not owning any land they built it again on public land and so are in danger of losing it again. Gafron stated these facts in the letter to the Commissioner, asking him in the name of the Catholics and pagans to give to the Catholic mission the few lots including and surrounding the site of the second church, altogether about 96 acres. This grant would be no more than an act of justice to the Catholic Indians of the reservation. The Indians of Red Cliff Reservation, Bayfield, Wis(consin), of whom nearly all are Catholics, there being but few pagans and no Protestants, sent a petition to Washington asking to have a good Catholic teacher sent to them instead of the customary Protestants. It remains to be seen whether these petitions will merit any results or whether the Indian Commissioner will continue to believe that there is no justice due to the Lake Superior Indians. From Bayfield the following stations are attended; Bayfield itself has 450 Catholics of which 80 or 90 are white persons; La Pointe, which has 150 Catholics including a small number of whites; Ashland, 150 Catholics who are nearly all whites; Bad River, 279 Catholics, all Indians and half breeds; Amick, 120 Catholics including no white people; Flambeau farm, having 150 Catholics; Lake Courtes-Oreilles Reservation having 190 Catholics, and Pakwewan having about 40 Catholics.

Howe, Frances R.:
Baily Homestead, (Chesterton, Indiana)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Miss Howe has sent the requested translation to Hudson with an introduction that may be too long. She has heard from Father Aegidius (Hennemann) whose letter is like a leaf out of some monastic chronicle as it is so affectionate and full of common sense. She encloses a letter which her mother received from Mother Angela. Miss Howe does not own the life of Pere Besson but has an extract of it that she received from a good nun who kept her supplied with French Catholic literature. She also has extracts of Corpus Christi which she copied. She relates how her sister Rose used to enjoy writing so much while she herself is much handier with a needle than at writing. The conduct of the priest from Chesterton who says Mass once a month in their private chapel does them more harm than good as he is impertinent and unkind. Father (Julian) Benoit sympathizes with them and will do most anything for them, and she wants to know what they should ask him to do for them. Rose's funeral services were held in their chapel. One of the insults happened shortly after the burial of Rose when he gave a sermon about being too proud to be buried with the poor. Father Benoit told them that if they did not get along with this priest they could have any other priest in the diocese and they didn't seem to get along with him even when they try to excuse his faults. She is wondering what Father Benoit would say if she suggested anything like that to him and also if they would be a parish by themselves or would they have to go to the parish nearly two miles distant. Miss Howe wants to know what Hudson thinks. When the Holy Cross priests supplied their spiritual needs they received nothing but kindness. She mentions the notice of Rose's death in the Ave Maria and asks Hudson if he had seen the very touching one in McGee's last issue.

Meany, M(ary) L.:
Philad(elphi)a, P(ennsylvani)a
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
"Dion and the Sibyls" went to the wrong person for notice. Miss Meany believes the fashion nowadays for Catholic authors is to separate what was united in the Incarnation and show Christ as a historical personage. She disagrees with this idea and will have nothing to do with it as she believes in edifying Catholic stories. In the story Dion and the Sibyls she notices that the most eloquent passage in it is a glorification of gladiators who are silent under the agony of a violent death. She has an invincible attraction toward gladiator stories but writers should not choose a Catholic book for his thrilling laudation. Another objection of Miss Meany's is that the author delights in the scenes of fiendish brutality. She has learned that priests can write of pagan vices and also of the purest virtues, while a layman who writes vile stories is drawn again and again to them. She can give no priase to this except on the minor point of literary merit. She has to go back many years to recall her first knowledge of Notre Dame, and now that it has been destroyed she feels that even greater good will come of its reconstruction. It is not so bad that the fire happened now after Notre Dame is well established than if it had happened in its early years of struggle. Miss Meany thanks Hudson for the remuneration and wishes she could inform him that he does not have to pay her for her contributions. She is very interested in the shrine of St. Anne at Aurey and is wondering if Hudson has any account of it so that she could translate it for the Ave Maria.

O'Meara, Kathleen:
(Paris, France R)
To Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Miss O'Meara cannot refrain from writing and expressing her sympathy over the loss of Notre Dame, which the blue cover of the Ave Maria had made familiar to all. She is amazed at how fast it turned to ashes and figures that it must have been all wood structure. She is very pleased, but surprised, to hear Hudson say that it will be rebuilt by September and she only hopes his promise will be justified. She thinks it is a very good idea that every reader of the Ave Maria contribute a dollar, and she will, but at the time she cannot get a paper dollar. Nowhere but in the U(nited) S(tates) could such a calamity be so bravely borne. F(ather) Dennis has just arrived from Rome but she has not seen him as yet. He is going to found a Mission in California so Hudson may see him in the flesh soon. Father (John Henry) Newman's discourse in Rome has enraged the infidels, and many people say he has turned bigot now that he has the hat. She wishes Notre Dame a speedy resurrection. P.S. She is enclosing a letter from P. Chocarne as a consolation to Hudson. He will have received a letter from her regarding the reprint of "Cyril."

O'Reilly, Father B(ernard):
New York, (New York)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
With God's fatherly providence aided by the love of many people the University of Notre Dame will be restored. He is sending a small mite toward the rebuilding of the school. Many times it is a lesson to see the work of a lifetime destroyed in a few hours. He mentions an incident that he heard when he was at Le Mans with Father Basil Moreau of the hard time the Holy Cross had in starting when at one time all alms ceased and everyone for days went hungry. Even though they sat at the table without a slice of bread and said grace and thanksgiving, they still went hungry and had no answer to their prayers, and then one night while at prayer supplies came from a benefactor. It is the same with the present trial of the University.

Emery, S(usan) L.:
Dorchester, (Massachusetts)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson's letter of the 15th received with the Scholastic. It seemed natural to be correcting again. She is afraid Hudson will not send any more after he sees how particular she is. She has learned more of Notre Dame since the fire. Hudson need not try to find out about the Japanese martyr as she has obtained some examples. She does not know whether to put her name to "Into Port" or not, but she prefers S.L. Emery. Hudson should omit her name. She would like to know if Hudson wants "Master Conrad" and "Love's Work". These essays differ from the Cloister", the postmaster is going to inquire about it. "Master Conrad" refers to an article recently printed in the magazine. She wants to say more but when she tries to speak in sympathy her pen fails. The fire is a mark of God's love. Hudson should not judge her by the essay as it was written in 1876.

He did not expect an answer to his letter when he read of the disaster at Notre Dame. He thanks Hudson for his kindness in writing under the circumstances. He was shocked at the sad news about the college and regrets he can do more than sympathize. He is sure the college will be built again soon. He is teaching with his old friends, the Christian Bro(ther)s as they opened their Academy three years ago and have been very successful. They have 310 day students and 20 boarders. The building is wood. The (Christian) Brothers now have five establishments in California. They deserve all the success they have achieved because of their kindness.

He wants Hudson to make him a visit when he comes up.

He asks Hudson if he would like to exchange ads with him in their respective papers, as he is alone in the management of the paper and his friends are very limited. He is going to continue his paper (The New York Catholic) even though it will take a lot of hard work. The clergy of New York are helping all they can and are very pleased with his efforts.

Parke, H. F., V(icar) G(eneral) of (Wheeling, West Virginia):
Parkersburg, West Virginia
to Ja(me)s A(lphonsus) McMaster:
(New York, New York)
In 1872, Parke had the pleasure of meeting Monseigneur Theodore Augustine Fercade in his episcopal city of Nevers, France. Since the name of Fercade may soon be prominent in French history and his pedigree may soon be looked up, Parke ventures to offer what little he knows about the man. Fercade is a man of fine abilities, descent, and brave services in the mission field. In 1872, while enroute from Lourdes to Brittany in quest of clerical help, Parke called at Nevers, chiefly to invoke the aid of (St.) Bernadette for the American Missions, especially those of Virginia. A French "comptesse", personally known to Fercade, advised Parke that the Monseigneur was able to speak English, and so Parke called on him, finding him to be perfectly at home with English, and a princebishop, in the best sense of the word. Fercade has served in the mission fields of Asia and of South America and should be in the 36th year of his Episcopate at the present time. His first services ware in Hong-Kong where he stayed for seven years as Vicar Apostolic and Bishop of that diocese and after this preparation he was recalled to the important see of Nevers, where in 1872, he was completing another 11 years. Cardinal (Godefroy Broussais) St. Marc, informed Parke at Rennes, (France) that the Prelate of Nevers stood very high in the opinion of Rome. Parke encloses a photo(graph) of Fercade. Because the Freeman's Journal does not follow a policy of printing such pictures, Parke was tempted to send his sketch to the Brooklyn Review, which does reproduce pictures, but on second thought he has given his preferences to the Journal. He asks that the picture be returned to him since it is a souvenir of his visit to France in 1872 and binds together the names of Fercade and Bernadette of Lourdes. This scant data is entirely at McMaster's disposal and Parke hopes it may lead to more ample information. He credits the Journal for openly publishing the cures and favors given at Lourdes for the last six years, at a time when many deemed this unwise. He prefers that his name be smothered if McMaster uses this information.

dePombriay, Henri:
S(ain)t Louis, (Missouri)
To Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He has received Hudson's favor of the 15th and was quite surprised to find his postal card reproduced in the Ave Maria. He thanks Hudson for showing his appreciation for the little he has done. He is glad that Mr. Aubineau is not a stranger at Notre Dame and he hopes to get his "Holy Man of Tours" to translate. He has heard nothing from M. Janvier regarding the blessing of the medals of S(aint) B(enedict), and thinks that Janvier forgot to forward them to Solemnes. Hudson must write to Solemnes directly. He is sending Hudson some passages from Semaine Religieuse of Tours and the letter of his grace of Paris to Mr. Aubineau. Father F. Gleason (C.S.C.) came twice to the parish of the Holy Angels, which is next door to de Pombriay, without contacting de Pombriay. So he told the sexton to tell Father to stop the next time as de Pombriay has several things for him to give to Hudson, among them a translation of the "Anne Reparatrice". He will send the oil and manuscript by express if Father Glenon does not return to Notre Dame from St. Louis. He wants some Ave Marias to send to his father's cousin who is in charge of educating the children of the Duchess of Parma, who is the wife of Don Carlos.

Edith O'Gorman lectured here to a crowded house. Why cannot this woman be stopped? She does considerable injury against such institutions as St. Mary's and Notre Dame.

Gibbons, James, Archbishop of Baltimore, John Lancaster Spalding, Bishop of Peoria, and John J. Keane, Bishop of Richmond:
New York, (New York)
to (Bishop George Carrell) of:
(Covington, Kentucky)
This is a circular containing the address of Cardinal John McCloskey of New York dealing with the financial troubles of Archbishop (John Baptist) Purcell of Cincinnati. The clergy had been attending the dedication of the new cathedral. A statement of the financial liabilities and assets of the Archbishop was read by Dr. (J.F.) Callaghan. The excess of liabilities over assets is $2, 920,881.16. Nevertheless there are possibilities of a settlement. To raise a subscription a committee has been formed headed by McCloskey, Archbishop (John) Williams of Boston and Father William Quinn of New York. The letter then lists those who have subscribed to give certain funds annually for 5 years. They are members of the hierarchy. Others wishing to subscribe should write to Cardinal McCloskey.

Since his departure she has not received any assistance, and she needs everything and suffers horribly from her back and her chest. She begs him to send her all he can as soon as possible. P.S. If he has the opportunity she begs him to visit her brother, Francois Deschamps, a paper merchant. Perhaps seeing Perché's great goodness, he will repent having abandoned her in a foreign country where she has suffered so much.
