Churchill, (Harriet) B.: Mattapan, Mass(achusetts)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Father Jonin's work received. Miss Churchill's father read some of it and expressed his disbelief in its teachings. When he finishes reading it, she will return it. Miss (Susan L.) Emery has informed her that an article of hers appeared in the "Ave Maria." She would like a copy of the issue it appeared in. Another short sketch is enclosed. Miss Churchill is interested in Father Harper's Metaphysics, but finds it hard.

Edes, E(lla) B.: Rome, (Italy)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Edes has received Hudson's letters. She has been ill. She hopes to fulfill all obligations and promises interrupted by the illness and death of her second mother (Miss McBride) and the settlement of affairs. Edes sends a letter for the Ave Maria subject to Hudson's approval. She will be satisfied with the same paid to (Daniel) Paul, $10 for a monthly letter. Though not pretending to equal Paul as a writer, she believes she has a better source of information than Paul could possibly attain and a more extended acquaintance of Paris. Paul has gone to Stuttgart to study music. She does not see how he could write a Roman letter from there; it is almost impossible to get at the "real truth." Hudson should inform Edes if he accepts the arrangement. She will write about the 15th of each month as it will be more recent then. She hopes Hudson has received the copy of "Gerarchia Ecclesiastica." Hudson need not acknowledge the receipt of such things by special letter. She cannot understand why the article on the Annunciation did not reach Hudson in time. It will not fall upon the same day until 1937 when both will probably be dead. In 1888 it will fall on Holy Thursday. Hudson should tell Father Sorin that she has found a brief of Gregory XIII. (Inclosed: Monthly letter.)

Leray, Francis X(avier), Bishop: Chateaugiron, Ile-et-Vilaine, (France)
to E. d'Aquin: Paris, (France)

In passing through Paris he stopped at d'Aquin's office, but it was closed. He asks d'Aquin to give him in writing what he knows of the financial affairs of the diocese of New Orleans. These details are absolutely necessary so that he can inform Propaganda of the true state of the situation. Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché and (Jules de) Boursetty have kept those in New Orleans in complete ignorance of their transaction in France. He also wishes, confidentially, to know what d'Aquin thinks of Boursetty. He has not yet heard a single word in his favor from those who know him and he fears that he has deceived and exploited Perché. He wants the truth both for himself and for Cardinal (John) Simeoni. (Computations on last Page.)

L(eray), F(rancis) X(avier, Bishop): Chateaugiron, Ile-et-Vilaine, (France)
to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché: Chalet Faller, Lucerne, (Switzerland)

He was greatly disappointed over not finding Perché at Paris. He had counted so much on an interview with him that, until the present, he has deferred drawing up his report on the actual situation of the diocese of New Orleans for Propaganda. He also wanted a frank conversation with Perché about their respective actions. Interested individuals have deceived Perché in regard to his feelings and have led him astray. At the time of the Council of New Orleans in 1866, knowing the plots against Perché, Leray had wanted to save him from the abyss. He has not changed and, if Perché will indicate a rendezvous in France, he will meet him before going to Rome where he hopes to arrive on the 17th or 18th of July.

Robert, A(lexander): New Orleans, (Louisiana)
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché: (Bordeaux, France)

They have learned from a letter that very probably (Perché) would not return. This news threw all his friends, who are very numerous, into great consternation. He and his family continue to hope that he will change his mind. Poor Louisiana is still distressed. Work is not available, business is very difficult, and the poor Creole population is sorely tried. Robert can do nothing; his law practice has declined, his children can not find work, and the greatest need exists in the family.

Leurey, Widow: Paris, (France)
to (Bishop Francis Xavier Leray?: Chateaugiron, Ile et Vilaine, France)

She has wanted to write him for some time but, fearing that her motive would not be agreeable to him, she delayed. He already knows the sad position in which the long illness and death of her husband has left her. God prohibits the shortening of one's life and that is what she is doing each day by depriving herself of absolute necessities while working from morning until evening. Her daughter does not have great intelligence and her character is such that she is difficult to lead. She needs a will that she respects and fears. After taking the advice of her sister Clemence, a Sister of St. Vincent, and of Mr. Marchand, she has consented to remarry in hope of finding a protector not only for herself but for her daughter. She hopes that he will be happy for her and Aurélie (Leurey) and that this circumstance will not separate her from his family.

Norris, J. W. S.: Bay City, (Michigan ?)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Illness in the family has prevented Norris from writing. It would have been a charm of novelty to attend commencement as Norris never attended college, but he cannot accept. Norris is writing to Egan in response to a sympathetic letter. He is under deep obligation to Hudson for his kindness. Norris asks a remembrance at the altar.

Robot, O.S.B., Dom Isidore:
Sacred Heart Mission Indian Territory
to James A(lphonsus) McMaster: New York, New York

He heard just a week ago that Congress had adjourned. What has become of the petition he sent McMaster last winter, to obtain from the Commission of Indian affairs the regular title to the section of land donated by the Indians. Father J. B. Brouillet sent him a circular concerning a legal consultation on the salvation of Catholic missionaries. Robot has not answered him. Brouillet also wrote him that he was a good friend of Mr. Ewing the Indian Commission and wanted him to meet the Commissioner. Robot refused to meet Ewing not knowing the purpose of the meeting and sent back to Brouillet the $50 traveling expenses sent by Brouillet to him. Brouillet also sent a green porpi vestment, another valvelin article, given to him last year in Paris. It was addressed for a Father O'Connell but since there was no such priest in the Indian territory, Brouillet left it at Robot's disposal. Four years previously, Brouillet had invited him to meet Ewing and sent $50 for expenses but gave no reason for the conference. Robot refused to go and returned the money. He does not know what Brouillet is going to do. He does not know what Brouillet published but understands he has spoken against his mission. He will not write Brouillet any more for fear that he will misuse his signature. He has thought of referring the case to Archbishop James Gibbons but fears Gibbons' sphere is too far above them. If McMaster would make some mention of the situation in the Journal, then Father Brouillet might not publish anything further against his Indian Missions.

Starr, E(liza) A(llen): (Chicago, Illinois)
to F(athe)r (Daniel E.) Hudson, (CSC): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Enclosed is a short notice for "The Best Beloved, etc." and "The Amateur." Miss Starr wonders why Hudson did not have Eliot Ryder write the notice since Miss Donnelly is one of his favorites. She was unhappy at the way he ignored everyone but John Boyle O'Reilly, Mr. Egan, Mr. Norris and Miss Donnelly. As to the American converts Miss Starr has never seen anything from Mrs. Kitchum. She believes Mrs. Ellet is a Catholic poet. W(illia)m H. C. Hosnin (?) wrote only like Longfellow, Catholic in spite of his being a protestant. Ryder will never get a good list of American Catholic poems or poets in his present course of reading. Mr. Devwood of Wisconsin has put out a volume of poems, and this man was overlooked by Mr. Ryder. Miss Starr was disappointed with the article, but it probably aids the support of Catholic literature. She was glad to have the chat with Hudson. Miss Starr is going East to aid her sister. P.S. She did not get her manuscripts in the mail but will send a full envelope today.

The enclosed hymn to St. Anne was written for the girls of St. Vincent's Asylum but has not been printed. It may be of use to Hudson.

Murphy, S.J., (Father) E(dward):
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Hudson's letter and remittance for the suffering children of Galway received. Money was never more wanted than it is this month. There is hope of a happy harvest. The people are very grateful to the charitable American children. Without their aid the poor children could not get to school or to Mass. The children who subscribed to help the children of Ireland must feel joy in their hearts, by depriving themselves of something they want. The aid they give wipes the tears of sorrow from the Irish children and consoles the affectionate heart of Jesus. Murphy will say Mass for all who subscribe to help during the whole of this year. Many thanks for the "Ave Maria." Murphy will tell Gill to send in the "Monthly" numbers. It would be no loss if every convent in Ireland received a speciman copy, but a great gain. Murphy is glad Hudson is sending contributions to the destitute people of Ireland. He has just closed a successful mission and 2,000 people received Holy Communion Sunday. Murphy will send immediately the chapters of the "Irish Legends." P.S. Murphy will send more of the cement from Knock.

Prestat, Miss E: Reading, P(ennsylvani)a
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Hudson has the letter and book she sent last week. On rereading her friend's letter, she finds that the author will give the rights for a small sum. Her work has always been in the interests of charity, and if Miss Prestat translates it for Hudson, she will send some of the remuneration to her friend and Hudson will have the rights to use the work as he wishes.

Nader, Mary Henry: Madison, Wisconsin
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Mrs. Nader's husband, John Nader, became a life subscriber for the Ave Maria in the first year of its publication. Their pastor, Father John Tanzer, Fort Hamilton, New York, told them it would be a blessing in their household. The name is a prayer. Mrs. Nader encloses a sketch and would like to write similar sketches for the Children's Department, if accepted.

Adam, J.: Gilroy, (Ireland)

Adams is going to give the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius to the Sisters. He discusses the subscriptions of two people whom he knows. Adam has built a new house and now will be able to accomodate Hudson. He was going to write something about the celebration of the Millenary since the discovery of Our Lady of Monsserah. Adam lists a fact copied from a Spanish paper called "Fenir", concerning the preservation of the body of St. Diego of Alcala.

Yesterday evening he heard of Leray's arrival and he would have gone to Rennes this morning to offer his homage and speak with him of things in which they both take an interest, if he were not afraid of finding him absent. He asks when he can see him.

Rouxel, Father G(ustave) A.: New Orleans, (Louisiana)
to Bishop F(rancis) X(avier) Leray: (Rennes, France)

He delayed writing because he was awaiting a solution to the matter of the Irwin bonds. He has always thought Leray would acknowledge responsibility for the $10,000 for the orphans. But Father (Gilbert) Raymond told him that he would not and (Alfred) Grima, the orphans' lawyer, cannot in conscience withdraw the case from the Supreme Court. The Irwins are still determined to give Leray everything, but it is on condition of their being extricated from the suit pending before the Supreme Court. Neither the Irwins nor their lawyer, Mr. Gilmour, can give him everything unless Rouxel contracts in the name of either Leray or the diocese to render an account for the $10,000 in bonds to the orphans. Following Leray's advice, Rouxel bought Mrs. (Letitia Kelley) Irwin's share for $500, receiving in return her renunciation before Mr. Castel of all rights to the bonds. John (Thomas) Irwin has also decided to cede his portion for $1,000; but Rouxel does not wish to act without Leray's approval. If they wait for the decision of the Supreme Court and Grima wins, there will be $10,000 worth of bonds lost for the diocese; if he loses, the Irwins may not be so benevolently disposed. Rouxel would settle the matter without Raymond, for it would be easy for Leray to settle the matter of the bonds belonging to the orphans later. No doubt Leray has already seen Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché). They are all anxious to know the results.

Miss Waylen gives Hudson her new address. She encloses a sonnet. "The Illustrated Catholic American" offers prizes for sonnets but will not consider Miss Waylen's on the grounds of professionalism. It was a barren compliment.

McCool, Neil,: Bradford, P(ennsylvani)a
to James (Alphonsus) McMaster: (New York, New York)

McCool is investigating a legacy bequeathed by his grand uncle 60 or 70 years previous. When his grandfather died his mother became the next heir but never looked after it. Some years ago McCool read in the Freeman's Journal that there was an Exchange or an Exchequer somewhere in London which deposited all the money belonging to those who died in England in the last 200 years. McCool believes this article referred him to an index of advertisements at No. 4 Merchants Row, N(ew) Y(ork). His uncle lived in the whaling business and died rich, and his brother Father (B.) McCool began investigations but died before they were completed. He asks McMaster to send him a few of the little pamphlets which he will very gratefully receive and pay for when they come.

Mrs. Spalding thanks Hudson for the water of Lourdes and the picture of Our Lady of Knock as well as for making her a life member to the "Ave Maria." She hopes that in the future she will be able to give more than thanks as she would not be without the Ave Maria. Mrs. Spalding asks a share in Hudson's prayers for her husband and children.

Laurent, O.S.B., Father): Glen-Trodhy, Monmouthshire, England
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché: Bordeaux, France)

He thanks him a thousand times for the letter he sent him. Without that document, because of canon law, he could not advance despite all the good will of his religious superiors. He is no longer in France but with the English Benedictines where he was sent before the expulsion the order to see if some priests might be placed there. He believes they will admit only seminarians and then only on the condition that they belong to the Province of England. A good number of the priests are going to return to their respective dioceses and the others are going to go to the Indian Territory near Arkansas or else come to England. He asks (Perché) to attest that all his ecclesiastical papers were in order at the time of his departure from New Orleans on December 14, 1873. He should accompany it with his seal to make it an official document. Their life is hard but he has never been a happy as he is now. He is a good example of the fact that only follies can be expected of a deranged man. This supreme favor has been obtained by the prayers of his brother and of his sister, a religious.

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

Stanislaus came to New York by way of Boston. He has examined the "Acme" presses and saw them at work in Boston. He discusses printing presses. Stanislaus would not have gone to Boston without informing Hudson, but after being ready to start by rail for New York, his brother had him take an ocean trip from Baltimore to Boston, saying it would be more healthful. Stanislaus met Father F. Kollop at Sweeny's. He left for France. Enclosed is a postal order for $12. Brother Louis can fix any difficulty caused by the delay. Stanislaus may need the $20 paid by his brother for a life subscription. He can get all the money necessary from his brother. Hudson should ask the Father Provincial if he has any objections.

E(gan), M(aurice) F(rancis): New York, (New York)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana

Egan was delighted to receive Hudson's long letter. It was a disappointment to Egan not to be able to attend the commencement, not so much the commencement, as not seeing Hudson. Egan is to meet Brother Stanislaus this afternoon. "Beth" wants condensation as well as the serial. A Miss Conway writes pleasant short stories if her tendency towards hasty "dramatic" sensations could be checked. Egan sees the faults of the "I(llustrated) C(atholic) A(merican)" better than Hudson. Brother Stanislaus and Egan remarked about the improvement of the "Ave Maria". Stanislaus says Hudson works too hard. Egan did not like Eliot Ryder's article of "Catholic Poets". Egan would like room in the "Ave Maria" for an article on poets. Egan has seen proof of an article on Chaucer for "The Catholic World". The "Ave Maria" is becoming more interesting every issue. It may be the leading Catholic literary medium. Mr. Hiokey sends his regards. "The Catholic Telegraph" makes the most analyzing assertions. McGee talks of starting again in September. He will never amount to anything until he stops drinking. When Egan left the "Weekly" there were 16,000 subscribers who would have paid if there was any business management.

Granger, L,: Marchall,
to J(ames) A(lphonsus) McMaster: N(ew) Y(ork), (New York)

Granger has read, with much sympathy, the account given in the Freeman's Journal concerning the leper mission at Molokai. McMaster is always willing to help such sufferers and so Granger asks him to send the enclosed $5. to Father D(amian) Deveuster. He hopes that this may be the beginning of much aid to the colony through McMaster' instigation and hopes that the good works done will continue. He asks that no mention be made of his name in the paper and encloses the address of Father Damian (enclosure present). This address is Kalowao, Molokai, Sandwich Islands.

He received Leray's letter of the 6th and was very sorry to miss his visit. As to making known the financial state of the account of the diocese of New Orleans, Leray must understand that without the express authorization of Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché he must be reserved. As Leray knows, his role is confined to the payment of coupons. On all other financial questions his part is very small. He was placed in contact with (Jules) de B(oursetty) by Perché and does not know him personally. However, B(oursetty) has always seemed to defend Perché's interests.

Stanislaus, C.S.C., Brother: New York, (New York)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Stanislaus gives various prices to Hudson on printing presses including a correction on a price stated in his last letter. He describes the New Campbell press in detail. Stanislaus wishes to talk to the McLaugh in Brothers about the working qualities of the press. Stanislaus called at Hickey's and they were "overhauling" Hudson for not noticing the "American Catholic." Maurice Egan invited Stanislaus to Brooklyn to dine. Father I. Bergrath was staying at Sweeny's Hotel also. He has gone to Pensacola. Hudson may remember Bergrath as the author of the series of articles on the Catacombs, published in the "Ave Maria." Stanislaus will be busy checking on all the presses in the large city. He will go to his aunt's today, Mrs. Thomas Clark. Stanislaus is under obligation to his relations for their kindness. Hudson should tell Father Corby that there are boys in Washington that will likely enroll at Notre Dame in September. Sisters Ambrose and Paula know most of them, but a son of Mrs. Velati's is unknown and he would like a reduction in terms as his mother is not wealthy. Two Jesuit professors at Georgetown, District of Columbia, Father Tarr and Richards, say that they have finally yielded to the requirement of advanced students for private rooms. A Mr. O'Brien carried off three gold medals at the last commencement. He was editor of the "Journal." Father Richards closed the May devotions at the college. The professors said the "Scholastic" is in high esteem and the "Ave Maria" is praised at Georgetown. Neither of them knew Stanislaus was connected with the "Scholastic." Stanislaus is sorry he missed the retreat.

Stanislaus, C.S.C., Bro(ther): New York, (New York)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Stanislaus has arrived at a conclusion regarding the best press for the money that will fit the requirements. After much consideration he has decided the Cottrell & Babcock is the better press. Stanislaus explains why the Cottrell press is superior to the other presses examined and the difference in price range. Freight must be paid from Rhode Island but a man from the factory branch house will set it up merely for his transportation fee. It will work both "Ave Maria" forms together. If the terms expressed are satisfactory Brother Edward should write up a contract. The company guarantees satisfaction or take the press out. Now that the press business is settled Stanislaus will see about Father General's book "Bernadette" and get a publisher. Hudson will remember speaking to Hickey about a cheap edition of "Our Lady of Lourdes" and Hickey went about stereo-plating Catholic Pub(lication) Society's translation. This would undoubtedly interfere with his book. Hudson should inform Father General that Hickey began his work before "Bernadette" was thought of, but was delayed by the scheme for the "Illustrated Catholic American." Stanislaus hopes Father General will understand. Egan, Hickey, and Stanislaus made a trip to Rockaway. Hickey remarked that Stanislaus looked much better. Egan is delighted with Hudson's letters as they are a treat to him. It it because Stanislaus is from Notre Dame that Egan likes him. Hudson should give an account of Stanislaus to the Superiors and tell him their wishes as Stanislaus does not want to trouble them personally. He gives his new address to Hudson.

(Leray, Francis Xavier, Coadjutor Bishop of: New Orleans, Louisiana)

At the time Leray was named coadjutor to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché) and administrator of the temporal affairs of the diocese of New Orleans, the books showed that as of May 31, 1880 there was on hand $1725.46 which had been in the treasury on December 5, 1879 and also $10,927.72 from the jus cathedraticum for the second half of 1879, the Christmas collection of 1879 and the Easter collection of 1880. The total debt of the diocese including the 1875 and 1878 loans, bills payable, the claim of the Company of Assurance of Memphis and the debt of St. John the Baptist, was $510,259.61. Since January 1, 1880 the debt has been diminished $32,223.51 with the expenditure of $7,959.95 including $1,100 for Mr. Branigan and $1,100 for Mr. Walsh. Also the mortgage debt has been reduced $23,000 by the seizure and sale of the properties on Rue Royale In a transaction of June 8, 1880 diocesan bonds totaling $12,000 of the loan of 1878 held by Father (Pierre Leonhard) Thévis were surrendered to Leray against $9,960 owed by Thévis. Thus, as of June 8, 1880 the debt has been reduced $44,223.51 with the expenditure of $17,919.95.

(Leray, Francis Xavier, Bishop: Rome, Italy)
to Cardinal (John) Simeoni: (Rome, Italy)

Duty obliges (Leray) to touch on a subject which he would have liked to have avoided at any price — his personal relations with Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché. Hopeful of being able to meet with Perché in France and have a frank and loyal discussion about their respective acts, he deferred drawing up a memoir. His hopes were not realized. Perché although informed of his arrival, had gone to Switzerland with (Jules) de Boursetty. The absolute necessity of naming a coadjutor who would at the same time be administrator of temporal affairs is the source of the differences which exist between them. Wounded by this nomination, Perché manifested his discontent in his letters and by his actions. During his stay in Rome he sought Simeoni's approval to send, behind Leray's back, a certain Father (Hippoly be) Leneuf to handle the temporal affairs of the diocese. Since that time he has used all his ingenuity to get Leray to come to Europe in order to have him meet with Boursetty, intending to make him consent to a new loan. However, his presence was required at New Orleans to place an end to the disorders and to restore confidence. Furthermore, he could not in conscience consent to a new loan because the last loan was fraudulent and criminal. Not only the public but the Holy See were deceived by promises and engagements that could never be realized. The exaggerated values placed on the mortgaged property were acknowledged by Perché in his circular letter of April 10, 1880 in which he stated that the sale of the mortgaged property would hardly reduce the debt at all. Not only has Perché mortgaged property acknowledged to be inalienable by all people, such as cemeteries, land given for a special purpose, and churches built by the faithful for their own use, but he has also mortgaged once again property already mortgaged for more than its value. For example, the church and priesthouse of St. Anthony of Padua figures in this loan. Bought for $13,000, but not paid for, by Perché, it was sold by him for $3,000 to a priest who paid for it in good faith. See the memoir of Judge P(aul) E(mile) Théard, pages 9 and 10. Although Ascension Parish, a magnificent property, is valued at more than 250,000 francs in the mortgage and given a security for the loan, Perché possesses only the use of that property. Also eleven houses in New Orleans pledged for the loan have been sold to satisfy a judgment on a third mortgage. The results of the first two loans have been truly disastrous. According to the books there has been a net loss of 650,000 francs on them. Under the circumstances he would never consent to employ the services of Boursetty who still has great influence over Perché. He wanted to make his position clear to Simeoni, especially in regard to Perché who has been and still is being deceived by interested and evil men.

(Leray, Francis Xavier, Bishop: Rome, Italy)
to Cardinal (John) Simeoni: (Rome, Italy)

Enjoying as he does the confidence of Pope Leo XIII and that of Simeoni, he presents to the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda Fide the results of his efforts as coadjutor and adm(inistrator) apost(olic) of the temporal affairs of the diocese of New Orleans. As he has already told Simeoni in his letter of Feb. 28, 1880 even before his arrival at New Orleans, the corporation had, by a printed circular spread throughout the diocese without his approval, prepared an unfortunate opposition between himself and them which endured until May 1880. Since then a perfect understanding has existed. On the part of the clergy he has found some sympathy and some good will but also a very pronounced opposition, coming in part from priests who are more or less unworthy and in part from priests who are worthy in other respects but who are worried about their material interest as creditors of the diocese. Added to these difficulties, there is a lack of confidence in the diocesan authority on the part of the priests who say they have been deceived in the past. To complete the tableau he could tell him of the invectives against Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché which every day reach his ears, the tears and lamentations of unfortunates who confided to Perché their savings, etc., but he prefers to keep these scenes between himself and God. He convoked the clergy for an ecclesiastical retreat given by Bishop (William Henry) Elder. Before they assembled he occupied himself putting an end to the increase of the debt, in diminishing as much as possible the expenses of administration, and in employing the diocesan receipts to the amortization of the debt. He succeeded in paying off a debt of 161,117 francs with the sum of 39,799 francs by a transaction with a priest on the eve of his departure. Between December 5, 1879 and June 8, 1880 he has reduced the debt by 221,117 francs. He hopes he has justified the confidence with which he has been honored.

He just received Leray's letter of July 3. If he had left word at Paris where he was going, Perché would have written immediately. Since it had always been thought that they would meet at Bordeaux, Perché had gone there and only then learned that Leray had passed through Paris. He wants very much to see Leray and, if his health permits, he will go to Rome to do so. Letters sent either to the pastor of St. Eulalie at Bordeaux or to the pastor of Notre Dame at Angers will be forwarded to him. He does not know how anyone gave Lucerne for his address as he had written to Father (Gustave A.) Rouxel that they would meet at Bordeaux. This week he is going to St. Laurent-sur-Sevre to see his sister, a religious of the (Daughters of) Wisdom who is 84 years old. As Leray probably is not in France, he will send the letter to Propaganda in Rome. He does not believe he has ever rebuffed Leray and, despite some vexation which Leray has caused him, he has always been disposed to act cordially and loyally towards him.

The press will be ready in September. Stanislaus was introduced to the Superior of the seminary at Williamsburg who was going to the springs in Virginia for his health. He will go home by the way of Baltimore as he may never see his friends again after returning home. Stanislaus may go to the seashore as he is not well. Father Corby directed him to do so. The sea air may enable him to work a few more years as the few baths he has taken have benefited him enough that he is able to intermit the quinine. He will probably take Hickey's advice and see Father Genimer at Rockaway and make arrangements for a week's stay. His brother will send him the needed funds. Stanislaus will be home in two weeks. He gives the distribution of the "Mass Money." Hudson should explain the disposal of Stanislaus' time to Father Provincial. Bro. Stanislaus speaks of his relatives.

If it is not to be reproduced in the "Ave Maria" they would like to know of some publication that contains the article. Hendrik Conscience's book would be very acceptable to Hudson's readers.

She is more and more delicate and hardly ever leaves the Infirmary. The Sisters (of Mercy) are all well and ask to be remembered.

King regrets that Hudson did not receive some issues for 1879 of the "Angelus." The letter of requesting the numbers was sent to Liverpool instead of London which delayed its delivery, but it was delivered through Mr. Washbourne. King thanks Hudson for sending the "Ave Maria." He asks for prayers.

Stace, M(ary) A(nn): Dennison, Ohio
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Hudson's letter received. The stories in the book have been translated. The book will be returned by express today. Dennison is backward in religious training. Miss Stace would like a larger book to translate, if Hudson has influence with a book seller. The children resent the implanting of Catholic manners. Baptized and having made their first Communion, they claim the name Catholic. A lot of work will be required before a Catholic spirit is obtained. The new pastor has given Miss Stace a class to be taught daily, and the work is gratuitous as they think they confer a favor on the teacher by attending. The late pastor (Father W. Howe?), now an inmate of a lunatic asylum, was incapable of guiding his flock which accounts partly for the anti-Catholic spirit. Miss Stace knew Hudson's charity and hopes his acquaintance with the book dealers may enable Hudson to recommend her pen.

Healy, (Father) J.: Boffin Island, Ireland
to (James Alphonsus) McMaster: N(ew) York, (New York)

Healy thanks McMaster for his check for 5 pounds. He will distribute the money among the poor at his earliest opportunity. The harvest shows bright prospects this year and already some people are turning out beautiful potatoes so they may be able to provide for themselves. The money received from McMaster will be given to the sick, the old and infirm, and to the others who have no one to care for their wants. He wishes to thank all those whose kind charity has helped him through a very trying period.

Egan, Maurice F(rancis): New York, (New York)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Hudson is correct about the I(llustrated) C(atholic) A(merican), but he has no idea how economical the paper is operated. Egan will keep and use part of the suggestions in Miss Starr's letter. The sonnet of Ethel Tani is good. Brother Stanislaus, C.S.C. is blooming like a rose and another week at the sea shore will give him another year of life. Hudson should come. Mr. Shea's address is in care of Frank Leslie. Hudson is right about Mivart; those notices only fill space. MacCarthy contributes a leader to the "Review" weekly. He has seen the cuts for the "Scribner" Georgetown article.

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

Hudson's two letters received. Regarding that of Miss Starr, Hudson is at liberty to do whatever will be to her interest. Miss (Eliza Allen) Starr seldom received her due praise for her talent. Her collection is the only one that can be read with pleasure after reading any of the poems of the Elizabethan era. Other Catholic poets have an artificial style, with the exception of Maurice F(rancis) Egan. Miss Starr's simplicity is the graceful ease of the 16th and 17th century. Mrs. Cooke would like a crown of thorns for her oratory. Miss Howe cannot make her a crown until next spring when it is possible to twist them into wreaths. Mr. (Eliot) Ryder has Louis Gaylord Clarke's style in prose, a style so full of natural gaps and omissions that it should not be held responsible for anything it has left out. Miss Howe will try to write something for the Catholic notes about the farm. She renders respectful regards.

He sends a check for a novena of Masses for the Holy Souls. Hudson should remember Hickey in his prayers. Brother Stanislaus, C.S.C., recently has gone to the seashore upon Hickey's advice. Stanislaus looks better and the seashore will add years to his life.

Ryder, Eliot: Cobleskill, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Hudson's letter received. Ryder wrote in reply to E(liza) A. S(tarr). His compilation of Catholic poetry has been a labor of love. Ryder has found the work from the time of Chaucer to the beginning of the present century. What manner should Ryder proceed to obtain the biographies of Miss Donnelly, Miss Starr or Miss Skidmore? It is difficult to ascertain whether a person is Catholic or not. There are many Catholics who have written nothing worthy of being included in a volume which contains poems by masters as Pope, Dryden, Cardinal Newman and Devere, or even our own O'Reilly or (Maurice Francis) Egan. These inferior rhymesters are always grieved if they are not ranked with the highest. An instance of this was when Egan published a pamphlet of "Songs and Sonnets" Ryder reviewed it in the "New York Catholic" and a certain juggler in verse, considered the favorable notice of Egan a personal affront. Such fellows as this cannot claim representation in Ryder's "Catholic Parnassus." His design in making the collection is to refute the popular notion among protestants that Catholic poets can treat on no subject. Does this design suit Hudson? Ryder is pleased to hear his article has attracted interest. Hudson did well in changing the title of the sonnet. Ryder was gratified at their publication in the "Ave Maria".
