1879 Oct. ?
Schoenmakers, S.J., Father John: Osage Mission, K(ansa)s
to (James Alphonsus) McMaster: (New York, New York)

Schoenmaker has enjoyed the confidence of the Osage Indians ever since 1847 when he opened up the Osage Manual Labor School for them, and since that time he has been entrusted with full knowledge of their business transactions. On Oct. 16, 1879 Schoenmakers received a letter along with two petitions which he encloses (enclosures not present). One petition is to Father Isidore Robot, O.S.B., Prefect Apostolic of the Indian Territory, and the other is to the Honorable Carl Schurz, Secretary of the Interior. He quotes the letter verbatim, written from Osage Nation, Indian Territory, on October 9, 1879 and signed by Alexander Beyett. This letter informs Schoenmakers that the delegates have just returned from Muskogee where they have been trying to see what they could do for their schools. They have talked with the Secretary of the Interior and ask Schoenmakers to forward the petitions as soon as possible.

Clarke, D. A.: Columbus, O(hio)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

While looking through his files he found a letter addressed to Hudson that was never mailed. It was written in reply to Hudson's letter stating that he had sent Clarke different views of the ruins of Notre Dame. He sends a check for $8.00 and Miss Maggie Carroll, $5.00 for two years of the Ave Maria, and the other $3.00 is toward the rebuilding of Notre Dame. He tells Hudson that they may get Father (T.P.) Thorpe, of Cleveland, as Bishop and he is praying that it will be confirmed by the Holy Father. He is tired of being kept back by the Columbian. It has been his drawback for years. P.S. He encloses $1.00 for Water of Lourdes.

Lechleitner, Father Ferdinand: Crete, Nebraska
to (James Alphonsus) McMaster: N(ew) York, (New York)

Lechleitner believes he owes McMaster an apology concerning the Freeman's Journal and about the actions of Mr. Patrick Woods of Belvedere, Neb(raska Lechleitner and Father Glauber of Hastings, Neb(raska) met Woods who was lending some copies of the Freeman's Journal. Lechleitner told him he should no longer read the paper of a man who had been excommunicated by Bishop (Peter Joseph) Baltes, (of Alton, Illinois), and intended the whole thing as a joke which Woods apparently took in earnest. Lechleitner has written to Woods to correct the impression conveyed by his joke and to convince McMaster, he sends $1. as partial subscription for the paper. He highly respects the Journal and calls it the most able paper in the U.S., either religious or profane. He subscribed 10 years ago but because of his large missions and his absence in Europe, he was unable to continue it. (McMaster personally makes a notation at the bottom saying that the Vicar Apostolic (of Nebraska), James O'Connor, has been written to because the conscience of Woods was bothered.)

Kilroy, D.D., (Father) E(dmund) B.: Stratford, Ontario
To Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dam, Indiana)

He dashed off the enclosed last night as he felt too unwell to rest. He does not have the time this morning for a careful perusal and if the effusion is of any interest to the Notre Dame boys he wants Hudson to correct it and print it or fling it into the waste basket. If it never sees light so much the better. It is a feeble effort to sustain Hudson.

Dallas, A(lexander) I.: Washington, D. C.
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

On re-reading Hudson's letter of congratulations on his improved health, Dallas says that we can never promise ourselves anything in this world. He has been sicker now than when he was at (Fort) Supply, (Indiana). Dr. Norris is not certain what is the matter with Dallas. He cannot believe that there is anything seriously wrong with him as his health in general is good. He hopes that Hudson has completely recovered. The cathedral is a magnificent building but it is not complete as they built it without a sacristy and now a place is spaced off on the Epistle side for that purpose. Dallas and his wife went to Mass there and after Mass the crowd remained and viewed the church. It is superior to Notre Dame but his Mass did him little good at St. Patrick's and he prays when he attends Mass at Notre Dame. He has lived in the far west so long that he dislikes going to a High Mass now. The Ave Maria and Scholastic are received regularly. He asks Hudson if F(athe)r General intends to have photographs of the crucifix made? He is glad to hear that Elmer Otis has been sent to Notre Dame and tells Hudson to give his love to the boy when he sees him. He tells Hudson not to count on a visit from him this winter as he will remain until well or until Gen(eral) Sherman assigns him to duty. He has no heart to write on the last Indian Massacre and Dallas thanks God that under the same conditions last fall he did not meet any Indians as he fears he would have met the same fate. He asks Hudson to pray for his intention.

Strub, (C.S.sp.), Father Jos(eph): Conway, Ark(ansas)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He acknowledges the receipt of the Ave Marias and sends a check for the whole year. He was pleased with the article on their Venerable Father and thanks Hudson. He encloses the circular of their Lottery and asks Hudson to advertise it in the Ave Maria. Hudson is to send him the bill.

Walsh, Archbishop William J.:
St. Patrick's College Maynooth, (Ireland)
to (John O'Kane Murray: Brookyln, New York)

Walsh sends congratulations on the honour conferred upon (Murray). The bearer of this note, Andrew Maher, a student of the diocese of Kildare, is leaving them and thinks of going to America, so Walsh sends a few lines of introduction. Walsh has been very busy, and has just been relieved by the kindness of the Bishop, from all professorial work.

Chisholm, Monica: Rugby, (England)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

She thanks Hudson for his kind letter and for offering the Mass for her father. She has only one photograph of her father but will send Hudson one when she gets some copies made. Her mother has been bedridden for several years. She is lonely without her father as they were very close. She never wished for any other companionship. Her brother-in-law, editor of the Dublin Freeman's Journal, has just been received into the Church. Hudson made a mistake about her father being a convert; it was her mother who was a convert. She encloses a paper giving some particulars of her mother's life.

Paul, Daniel: Perugia, (Italy)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

The first of two papers on "Our Lady's Ring" is being forwarded to Hudson. The whole subject could not be condensed into one paper. If these are accepted he would like Hudson to remit immediately, and if not accepted, he would like them returned, and they will be submitted to the Catholic World. It is Paul who wrote the sketch in the September Catholic World called "The Bridal Ring of Our Lady at Perugia" and the "Pardon of St. Francis at Assisi".

O'Meara, Kathleen: (Paris ?, France)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (CSC): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

She thanks Hudson for the six Ave Marias and is glad she followed an impulse and wrote. She only meant him to slip an extract from a letter into his report of the week at Lourdes, and did not expect the narrative to be given a high place in the synagogue. A sketch of H. Perreyre's (?) life is in the post and she meant to choose P. Desson but she found Perry's letters and could not resist writing about him. She enjoyed doing the notice of his life and someday will do a sketch of P. Desson if Hudson still wants it. The manuscript sent will run about 25 pages in the Ave Maria which will be about 25 francs according to their agreement, but she will take 20 francs. She asks for Hudson's blessing and prayers.

Stoddard, Charles Warren: S(an) Francisco, (California)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He does not know what Hudson thinks of him. He promised contributions. He sent two contributions for the Ave Maria but he has not heard from Hudson since and he never saw them appear in the Ave Maria. He does not know if the verses reached Hudson. He was very unhappy that he could not do anything for Hudson. He misses the Ave Maria. He has saved the back numbers in order to have them bound. An index for 78 could not obtained from Mr. Floods. He sends another contribution, a sketch of the old Missionary Mark Junipera Serra. Daniel Paul has not written in ages. He asks Hudson to make up and send him a photo so Stoddard can look at it and remember how badly he treated Hudson. He asks Hudson to write.

She thanks Hudson for sending her a book. She is so much better in health and can go to Mass now. She cannot realize that Notre Dame is swarming with students now. The Ave is a great consolation to her.

Egan, Maurice, F(rancis): Phila(delphia), P(ennsylvani)a
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He thanks Hudson for his note and tells him that he prefers having Cunningham bring out "Preludes" as he heard that Mr. Cummiskey is not reliable. He will have Cunningham write to Hudson. His estimate is below $350.00. The plates are to belong to the University. He is sorry that he has so few poems to put in the book. Patrick V. Hickey informed Egan that Hudson did not look well. Hudson must not work so hard. He is planning to advocate a pilgrimmage to Notre Dame in McGee's (Journal). He plans to go back to New York as they gave him a good offer. He sends his regards to Mr. Edwards. P.S. Cummiskey's estimate was $381.25.

French, (Rev.) S. J.: Houghton, L. I., Mich(igan)
to F(athe)r (Daniel E.) Hudson, (CSC): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He has been reminded of Hudson's neglected letter by the receiving of the Catholic World. The reason for the delay was because he was without a writing table, was moving into his present house and was busy overseeing the work of the decorators. Then the Bishop visited him and he accompanied the Bishop to the next town. He is waiting to hear from Perkins on the Pacific slope as he has not his address at his new location. In reply to Hudson's request, he does not think much of F(athe)r Bradley's book and does not believe him to be an honest writer. The literary merit of the pamphlet is described in a sentence, "The need of a new 'Dunciad'" in the Catholic world. Bradley's language is at times slangy. He was never rector of the P. E. Chapel of St. Sacrament because there was never such a chapel, and he was never a priest in the American churches and was not subject to the Bishop of N(ew) Y(ork). However, he thanks Hudson for sending him the book because he did want it. He tells Hudson that he now has a fine house of which he has been deprived for months and hopes that someday Hudson may visit him. He asks Hudson to inform him where he can obtain a statuette of Our Lady as he has a niche in his stairway that he is keeping for something of that nature. He informs Hudson that Mrs. French joins him in sending kindest regards.

Shea, John Gilmary: Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
to Monsignor Robert Seton: (Jersey City, New Jersey)

In the sense of being the first Bible printed in the English language, Shea thinks that Coverdale's of 1535 has undisputed claim. As for their New Jersey arms, Shea's impression is that they were the arms of Sir George Carteret but he will make sure. Archbishop (John) Carroll used a seal with Our Lady holding the Infant and a sceptre surrounded by thirteen stars. On his portrait engraved by Tanner in 1812 this same seal occupies half the shield. The present seal and motto originated from Carroll's seal. Shea always considered that Bishop (James Roosevelt) Bayley made a mistake when he adopted the new seal for Archbishop (John) Hughes. Bishop (John) Dubois used a shield with a shamrock; it symbolized the patron of the New York Cathedral. Hughes took the arms of the Archbishop of York; they are out of place in New York. Shea will try to find out about Carroll's portrait. Seton's brother led Shea to believe he would fix a day when Shea might see them both. (Seton adds on the letter): See my note, made at Annapolis, in pocketbook.

Roberts, R. V.: Washington, D(istrict) of C(olumbia)
To Father(Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He assures Hudson that he sent his latest poem as a free will offering and that Hudson is not indebted to him. He is sorry that he could not have sent a larger contribution for his share in the daily Mass at Notre Dame. He was going to return the $5.00 but decided to write and ask Hudson which he preferred, the money or another poem. This poem was suggested by the words "In the evening weeping, but in the morning gladness" and it may be too long for the Ave Maria. He tells Hudson that it may be very appropriate for the inauguration of the new statue of Our Blessed Mother, as it would sound very effective. He does not want any pecuniary return for this poem, and would like to have Hudson's opinion on it. He asks Hudson to send him three of those miraculous beans with the figure of the monstrance on them, as he wants to plant one of them in the garden of the Visitation Convent. He congratulates Hudson on the success they have had in rebuilding Notre Dame in such a short time.

McNulty, Geo. F.: Alton, Illinois
to James F. Edwards: Notre Dame, Indiana

He is about to enter the St. Louis Law School, and not being a graduate of any college, he needs a certificate from the President of Notre Dame, showing what courses he pursued there. It may be that the records of the university were destroyed in the fire, but he trusts the professors will remember enough. He would like to see the new buildings but it seems the place would not be Notre Dame as it must be greatly changed.

Piot, Luther, B.S.: Ellicott City, M(arylan)d
To Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: Notre Dame, Ind(iana)

The Annals of the Prop(agation) of the Faith were first published in English in 1838, while the French began in 1823 or 1824. He believes an attempt was made to translate the numbers previous to 1838, but it was given up. So very few numbers probably were printed.

He has been away for a week and Hudson's letter was awaiting him upon his return. He was sorry to hear of Hudson's illness and thanks Hudson for the volume of the Breviary. He is reading Mr. Mallock's book, "Is Life Worth Living?" He will send it to Hudson if he wants to read it. He has received Abbé Gabriels "Le Christ et le Monde" but will not get at it for a fortnight. He anticipates a winter of study.

He thanks Hudson for the invitation to join him at Notre Dame for the Indian summer. He would be delighted to come and see the new Notre Dame as he has watched the building of it and the weekly contributions toward it. He tells Hudson to do with the article what he sees fit and the same with Schmid's tale. He has followed the original in calling it "Holy Christmas Eve", but thinks that "Two Christmas Eves" would suit it better.

She asks Hudson another favor. Would he insert in the Ave Maria an account of a beautiful celebration which took place in their parish and is connected with the Sanctuary where many American hearts feel an interest? She thanks Hudson again for inserting the first article and wonders if Hudson ever received the letter from their pastor. She hopes the interests of Our Lady will continue to progress through the Ave Maria.

Dorsey, Anna Hanson: (Washington, D. C.)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (CSC): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

She is sorry to hear of Hudson's illness and tells him that she may enable him to guard against reattacks of malarial fever. She explains different preventive measures to take in order to avoid these attacks. The withdrawal of Father (E.D.) Reveille from the Washington was an unnecessary sacrifice. She would be glad if the two priests who caused his withdrawal would be sent to Memphis to work out their salvation. She tells Hudson that the story is under way but she will not try to finish it unless she is assured that the engagement will be accepted by his successor in case Hudson would be compelled to give up the Ave Maria, which would be disastrous for the magazine. She wants Hudson to put into writing the agreement with her, send her a copy, and have both signatures put on it. She will wait until such an arrangement is made before she works on the story. She tells him that she wants four months instead of three as she could not write a tale worth reading in that time. She has no talent for condensing so she must have room for her story in the Ave. She tells Hudson to get well as the Blessed Lady needs him there and asks him to pray for her daughter, Mrs. Eastman, who has been ill and great sufferer.

She asks Hudson if he has any books on conducting a society. If he has, Brother Litus is to bring them to St. Joseph's Academy. Father (Peter) Lauth has called a meeting for the ladies of the parish. She asks Hudson to pray for the success and establishment of this society.

R(oberts) R. V.: Washington, (D. C.)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Enclosed is a poem and he had planned to embody the "Magnificant" as a conclusion but when the end came to be written his inspiration was unequal to the task and at last he was resigned to sending it with an inferior ending. Then he remembered that the next day was St. Luke's day, he prayed for assistance and while saying the Angelus and inspiration came which enabled him to write the last verses. The description of the statue of the Blessed Virgin is as he had seen it in the Ave (Maria), and the description of N(otre) D(ame) is as he knew it in 1867. F(athe)r Joseph Carrier, (C.S.C.) was laying out the cemetery then and now it has two graves in it that are unforgotten, those of F(athe)r (August) Lemonnier and F(athe)r Neal Gillespie. The poem could not be condensed without injuring the continuity. He would like Hudson to inform him when it reaches him and if it will serve the purpose for which it was written.

She has received $6 from Notre Dame and cannot figure out how the pages translated can be counted until printed. She wishes to contribute half to the fund for rebuilding of Notre Dame. She thinks she has been paid for twelve pages and if Hudson finds fewer than this he should send her anything he wants translated and she will try to satisfy the bond.

She does not wish her name to be printed in the contribution list. She wants to let six pages of translation go free. She thanks Hudson for remembering her in her name and in the name of the community as they need a school badly and cannot afford to pay a teacher properly. So a teacher without other resources could not stay.

Howe, Frances (R.): (Chesterton, Indiana)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

She sends a manuscript of a short story sent to her by a Miss Marshall, known as Alston Marshall in print. Miss Howe sends it to Hudson as it is a Catholic story. She believes Miss Marshall will be satisfied with whatever pay Hudson deems suitable. She tells Hudson that she is not a literary predictionist like Miss (Eliza Allen) Starr. Miss Starr is happy to know that her Patron Saints is selling in England. Miss Howe hoped that the prestige of Dr. Newman and Cardinal Manning would help her to cross the ocean as she has very little ambition to write for America, as she thinks her ideas are not popular with those who control the Catholic press. She tells Hudson that the Catholic Review was cruel in taunting the Catholics of Europe with not voting. She implies that Miss Marshall wants 35 shillings for her story of "Aubrey Count" and her sister told her that she is a favorite with Dr. Newman and the Oratorians. It would take a year to bring it out in the Ave Maria. Miss Marshall's style is calm and her aim is to keep Catholics from Protestant literature, so she employs the weapons used by the opposition.

Dodge, F. L.: F(or)t Leavenworth, Ka(nsa)s
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Major Dallas wrote Dodge that Hudson would send Catholic papers for the prisoners. These would be very welcome as some of the prisoners were brought up as Catholics but have no literature pertaining to the Faith. A priest holds services once a month, and the idle hours of the convicts should be improved by reading suitable literature.

Jenkins, Father T(homas) J.: Hardinsburg, K(entuck)y
to F(athe)r (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He believes that he and Hudson would recognize each other if they were to meet. He thanks Hudson for the photograph and thinks it is a most finished piece of work. He tells Hudson that the young editor of the "Ave Maria", old in wisdom, will find an honored place in his album beside his old professors of Louvain. He cannot make the longed for trip to Notre Dame because of the great distance, and everytime he takes a trip he suffers an illness afterwards. But God is good and they may yet see one another face to face. He asks Hudson if it is worthwhile to have a translation copyrighted as some papers would use it if they did not have to pay for it. He has another story of Schmid's which he will send Hudson next year. If they are worthy of publication in the Ave Maria, they may appear in book from for the children. He thanks F(athe)r (Alexis) Granger for attending to recommendations of his brother. The trial was set for last week.

Beaubonel, Léon: Marseilles, (France)
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché: Angers, France)

Circumstances stronger than his will have prevented him from conveying his best wishes whether they be for his happy recovery after such a grave illness or for the fiftieth anniversary of his priesthood. He begs his remembrance before the Lord for himself and his family.

Clarke, D. A.: Columbus, O(hio)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He thanks Hudson for the favors and hopes to repay him someday. He has received a letter from Hudson's secretary regarding Miss Teresa Handly of Tiffin, who paid her Ave Maria subscription with a postal order. He has left newspaper life for two months to take some time to enter into himself before his ordination during the Christmas Ember days. Some of the students are on a retreat preparatory to ordination in Cincinnati, but he did not get his release from the Columbian in time so will wait until Christmas for his preparation. He has awaited the expiration of a year, of the administrator's appointment and hopes they are the worthier. He asks Hudson to pray for him and sends regards to his friends at Notre Dame.

E(gan), M(aurie) F(rancis): Phila(delphia), P(ennsylvani)a
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (CSC): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He has received the photograph Hudson sent to him. Hudson looks like the ideal he had in his mind and he resembles Hamlet, a Hamlet who has discarded the philosophies learned at Gattengen and became ecclesiastical. Several readers of the Ave Maria have made pilgrimmages to his sanctum to see the picture. Egan will talk to more Ave Maria admirers Sunday. He sends Hudson his own picture which flatters him as it gives him too much flesh. Egan informs Hudson that "Preludes" is to be dedicated to Hudson. The printer hopes to be able to send it to Hudson in two weeks. Egan is sick of secular business and is going to attempt to make another Catholic engagement in New York, as he cannot write articles he is compelled to write.

J(enkins), Father T(homas) J.: Hardinsburg, K(entuck)y
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: Notre Dame, Ind(iana)

He has received the books but can only use Caswall's as the others are foreign to his purpose. The translations of hymns of the B(lessed) V(irgin) in the Breviary nor the version by C. are not worth writing as he thinks he can equal them. If Hudson will back him up with his knowledge of Jenkin's ability he will get up an article with original translations and supplements of better versions of others. He does not wish to waste time.

Nelson, W(illia)m M.: Germantown, Philadelphia, (Pennsylvania)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C. (C): Notre Dame, Ind(iana)

A student in the Seabury Divinity School in Faribaul(t), Minn(esota), under the Protestant Episcopal Bishop, H. W. Whipple, D.D., Nelson's conversion to the Catholic faith took away his means of support. He asks Hudson if any arrangements could be made for him to canvass the country trying to increase the circulation of the Ave Maria. He refers Hudson to Father P. P. Denis, S.S., of St. Charles' College, M(arylan)d, for any information Hudson may want to know about him.

Stoddard, Cha(rle)s Warren: S(an) Francisco, (California)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He is the one whose writings Hudson has been reading. He has written for the S(an) F(rancisco) Chronicle for six years, and traveled to Europe, Egypt, up the Nile, to the Holy Land, to Constantinople, and spent two years in Italy. While in Rome he met Daniel Paul. Stoddard has written for the Atlantic Monthly, Scribners, Lippincotts, the Galaxy. In '67 he published a volume of poems and in '73 a volume of sketches called "South Sea Idyls" were published. He is making a meager living writing and supposes that Hudson has discovered that he cannot spell. He thanks Hudson for his photograph and wonders if he is truly happy. He is not happy and cannot remember when he was happy for any length of time. He asks Hudson to send him some numbers of the Ave Maria so he can fill his files, if possible. He will send a photo of himself as soon as he has one available. The two poems sent from Englewood were no loss and he will offer more sketches soon. He thanks Hudson for his kindness.

Suctus, F. C.: Albion, New York
to James F. Edwards: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He was happy to hear from Edwards. He did not receive the circulars he mentioned. He thought he would not study law, nor does he expect to wind tape all his life.
