Marie, Sister:
(Rennes, France)
to (Bishop Francis Xavier Leray:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
She does not know how to tell him of the happiness which his visit gave her. She awaits the arrival of his feast day. They will celebrate it as a feast of the first class. She will celebrate it as a feast of the first class. She will ask his patron to obtain the grace that he will return to Rocher sometime. If their madmen continue to make misery and to expel the Communities, (Leray) will keep for them a little place in America where they will be nearer to him. They will follow their good superioress for they love her with all their heart.

Murphy, S.J., (Father) Edward:
Dublin, (Ireland)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Father Russell showed him a copy of the "Ave Maria." Murphy introduced it in his missions and wants to order 11 copies weekly. He is sorry that there is not an agent in Dublin, as he is continually giving missions, and he could do a good deal for the "Ave Maria." Does Hudson want an account of the authentic apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Knock, in the diocese of Tuam, Ireland? He heard of it from witnesses. The Archbishop commissioned 4 priests to visit the place and all agree that the apparition was real. Murphy witnessed miracles wrought by the water of Lourdes. He gives the address to send the 11 copies of the "Ave Maria." P.S. Murphy will be in Dublin until the 24th in Carrick-on-Suir for a week, and in Waterford until the 30th.

to F(athe)r (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Jenkins heard that Hudson was absent but expected home soon. He hopes that Hudson is not working too hard, as his job is not yet done. Benjamin Dionysius Hill, whose poems on the Blessed Virgin, were put in the first rank of Jenkin's article, is a Passionist. He was at Hardinsburg for a two weeks' mission. Hill promised Jenkins to send his sonnets to Hudson instead of the "Catholic World." This should aid the Ave Maria in being second to none in periodicals. He is sending a supplement to "About Some C(atholic) Hymns."

Ménard, Father L(eonard):
Alexandria, (Louisiana)
to Bishop F(rancis) X(avier) Leray:
N(ew) O(rleans, Louisiana)
Ménard does not wish to put off the building of a chapel in Harrisonburg. He has received from Ch(arles) Newman, commission-merchant in (New Orleans) the promise of a lot and there is none more eligible, more desirable. As Henry Newman lives in the city, it would be better to have the act of donation made there; otherwise Ménard will with Leray's permission, buy the lot at a nominal price. In case Leray would prefer to attend to all this, he encloses Newman's letters. In a short while he will receive a chalice from Sicily Island. He asks for Father (Jean Baptiste) Avenard, permission to consecrate it.

Coste, Father J(ules):
Troy, N(ew) Y(ork)
to (Bishop Francis Xavier Leray:
New Orleans, Louisiana
Coste offers his respects and greetings. They had a good trip and are now settled in America. Father (G.) Huberdault left for Canada several days ago. He is to return in a month and a half and plans to leave for Europe, probably settling at Rome. They would have liked to have greeted him personally when he arrived at New York. At Troy the Canadian population received them very well. The news from France is far from reassuring for the Congregations. He would not be too astonished if their Superior General were to send them some reinforcements soon. French suffices for the Canadian population, but, when they leave the church, English is indispensable. He asks his blessing for themselves and for their parish of St. John Baptist.

Sagerer, O.S.J. de Deo, Father Ignatius:
Lancaster, Ohio
to Archbishop W(illiam) H(enry) Elder (of Avara):
(Cincinnati, Ohio)
Since Sagerer received Elder's letter Father (John C.) Albrinck of Cincinnati wrote saying that he did not have any of Father Broering's money but that if Broering would give an order he could get the money from a Mr. Kellerman. Broering came in May, 1879 and the money received paid for him until the end of the year, except for $5. This, plus $3 advanced to him are still due. Sagerer hopes that Elder will not have to pay this but will leave the matter to Elder. Broering is in good health and has been permitted to say Mass. Since they opened their house to priests they have received $20 a month from each one, but from some nothing at all. They have to look carefully after their expenses without a fixed income. He asks for the money because they have urgent need of the money. (Note by Elder stating that this was answered Nov. 20th promising that Father Albrinck would get some money for him.)

She was waiting for (Thomas J.?) Semmes' decision to communicate further with their Mother General. As it is, she does not deem it necessary. This does not mean that they relinquish the idea of the parochial school. They will seek to adapt that work to their present circumstances.

Enaut was detained longer than expected and came hom just in time to see Father (C.) Mahé start on a distant sick call. Among the letters waiting for him was one from the mayor of Lake Providence stating that, instead of keeping the $50, by mistake he gave it to the clerk of the boat that took Mrs. Louby to N(ew) O(rleans). If the clerk remitted it to the (Little) Sisters (of the Poor) Leray would not have had to pay the order given by Enaut. He hopes everything will come out all right. He will in a few days send the accounts concerning Father (Joseph Mary) Quèlard. He was sick exactly 3 months at Vicksburg. Father (H.) Oberfeld gave him a shelter, some attention and furnish(ed) the gas. Outside of that Quèlard was no burden to any great extent to Oberfeld. His meals were brought from town. Thus, in offering compensation to Oberfeld, Leray may acknowledge his kindness but not be under the false impression that he was at much expense.

Roulleaux, Father M.J.:
Monceaux, France
to Bishop (Francis Xavier Leray:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
Roulleaux's intention has always been to devote himself to the missions and, if he has worked for 4 years in the diocese of Seéz it has only been to satisfy his family and to fulfill some pecuniary obligations contracted for his education. He almost entered the Marists where he has an uncle who has been a missionary in Oceania for 22 years but not being able to set his own conditions he feared being obliged to follow a life of solitude. Influenced by one of his old friends, Father (V.F.J.) Pellouin, he would like to be admitted into (Natchitoches). Bishop (Charles Frederick Rousselet) of Seéz has agreed to let him go once he has an official request from (Leray). He, therefore, asks (Leray) to make such a request.

Simon thanks Leray for the assistance and hopes it will be the last time he will need ask for any. In regard to the taint on the clergy left by Father (F.X.) Guay, the public has been able to distinguish between the bad and the good grain. They have been full of politeness and affability, and he hopes for a profitable sale of the pews on January 1. Otherwise, he could not live at Marksville, which is the poorest parish in Avoyelles. When Leray is able to come to Natchitoches, he asks him to visit Marksville as it would have a good effect. Father (J.E.) Chauvin and Father (E.) Reynes are grateful for the remembrances and offer their respects. P.S. He often has news of Guay from other bishops. As all in the United States and Canada have been warned he will not find any place.

All parties have been lenient and some at Enaut's request have reduced their bills. A total of $454.75 was received, leaving a balance of $279.10 now due Enaut. He has paid all except $90. He will postpone for a while the other accounts concerning the parochial affairs of Quèlard. There is at Lake Providence enough personal property belonging to Quèlard to satisfy his obligations and these matters he will have to settle with his successor.

Raymond, Father G(ilbert):
New Orleans, (Louisiana)
to Bishop F(rancis) X(avier) Leray:
(New Orleans, Louisiana)
He encloses two letters. The first is in regard to Mr. Laroche, seminarian from Clermont, who asked to be received into the diocese. Raymond wrote to his bishop and encloses the reply. The second was received yesterday. During Leray's absence, Father Sommiére from Chartreuse asked Raymond's assistance. Raymond wrote to the abbè and received his reply yesterday. These two documents are new proof for suspecting priests who do not have any papers. Raymond also wishes to make a few remarks in regard to something Father Marchant told him the other day. He assures Leray that he has nothing against Father (Joseph) Subileau whom he esteems very much. He has never consciously performed a baptism which belonged to Subileau. For grave reasons, on two occasions he married parishioners of Subileau, but he sent him $5 for the one and $10 for the other. When Subileau's parish was divided in order to give boundaries to Father (Antoine) Borias, he may have given an opinion, but it did not proceed from a spirit of hostility toward Subileau. Also, on the basis of what Father (Hyacinthe) LeCozic told him, he must explain about Father Poussielgue's claim. According to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché's arrangements, the diocesan treasury received the collections, the cathedraticum, the fees for dispensations, and the receipts of the church, all of which were employed indistinctly for the expenses and debts of the diocese. As the money from the pews was paid in January and February it was immediately paid out for the diocesan expenses, and, later, the expenses of the church were paid from other diocese receipts. This system was continued by Father (Joseph Marie) Millet and Father (E.) Reynes and is still in effect. Raymond at the start of the year used the church receipt for house expenses. Now they are exhausted and he must pay Father (Theophile) Blancgarin and the rest with what he receives from either the office or the diocesan treasury. This system will end as soon as Leray makes other arrangements. He has just received notice that he has to name an assessor for the property and that it is to be sold by the sheriff on the 20th, but he can se Leary in order to discuss this matter.

Bishop (Jean Pierre Boyer) has directed him to give Rouxel the information which he sought about Mr. Laroche. Hardly had Laroche begun his philosophy when it was discovered that his conduct was immoral and he was dismissed. He asked for his certificate in order to obtain free passage, but the Bishop did not reply. He also wrote from New Orleans for testimonial letters but no reply was made. The directors of the seminary are unanimous in believing that he leaves everything to be desired.

to Father (Gilbert Raymond:

He would like to be useful to Father Sommière, but he can only tell the truth. Sommière was expelled from (the Carthusiana) because of grave acts of drunkenness accompanied by public scandal. Until his departure from France he had not corrected himself. Anselm saw Leray in July and told him what he thought of this poor unfortunate. Leray, therefore, can give him further information.

Many, Sabine Parish, L(ouisian)a
to Bishop F(rancis) X(avier) Leray:
(New Orleans, Louisiana)
Aburée received Leray's letter enclosing a check for $200 and thanks him. He was very hard up as Leray learned by his letter sent by Father (P. Felix) Dicharry. The resources of Sabine are small and he has to abandon the honoraries of the masses he receives from France to his mother whom his brother's prolonged illness has placed in very narrow circumstances. Yet he has reason to abound with joy for this year has been one of spiritual blessings. An epidemic has hurled many unprepared souls before God but also has caused many to think more seriously about religious matters. They have baptized 8 children of infidels, of which three have died; also two young men, one whose holy dispositions and pious exhortations have brought to the Church his father, mother, brother and sisters. The church at Bayou Cye is progressing rapidly. Hartman is the chief carpenter. The Mexicans work with a heart. Aubrée intends to establish there a Catholic school as soon as possible. His health is better, though not good. Father (J.M.) Ledreux started yesterday for Spanish Lake, intending also to visit Natchitoches.

They were happy to learn of his safe arrival. As his feastday approaches there is not need to assure him of their best wishes. They also send best wishes for the new year. All are well. However Suzanne is coming of age and consequently her health needs support. They have begun the repairs on the factory and have to repair half of the house from top to bottom, but they would rather endure privations than get involved in a law suit. She thinks that Leray knows all the disasters that have befallen the Religious, 261 Communities devastated. Leray is more at peace in America. They will await news of him with impatience. (P.S.) All their friends ask to be remembered.

Gentille, Father J(oseph):
Shreveport, (Louisiana)
to Father P. F(elix) Dicharry:
Natchitoches, L(ouisian)a
Gentille asks Dicharry to bring the following fact to the attention of Bishop (Francis Xavier Leray). Since Sunday he has feared the return of his sciatica. With his infirmities, which increase every day, he can no longer keep to his vast tasks. Every day, except Sunday, he has to visit the convent of St. Vincent. The (Daughters of the Cross) need a Chaplain. Gentille could then fulfill his duties as a parish priest, visit his hospital and his missions in the East. 30 years ago he was strong. Others have succumbed to the work that he has endured; he is still half standing. A chaplain at the convent could visit the missions in the west and give him a helping hand. Gentille is cheaper than a regular chaplain. That will be the only objection of the Sisters, if they have any objection. He could not afford to pay the entire cost of an assistant. He will go to the convent as long as he is able.

to (Henry F. Brownson):

Orestes is glad to hear that Henry and family are all well and progressing so finely. Henry's children will apparently receive the advantages of an excellent education. Orestes wants to hear often of them. All his family are well except Sarah (Brownson), 15 years old who has a very bad cough and he fears it is the beginning of comsumption. The mercury fell to 10 below zero without any warning and Orestes is sorry to say he was caught without any warm clothing. Is it all due to Orestes' shiftlessness that lately makes him the sport of adversity? He no longer complains. He thinks it has been his fault that he did not better provide for his old age and yet nothing succeeds with him. Everything fails with him so that he gives up all hopes and quietly submits to any sufferings, misery and disappointment thankful for the few blessings of life and occasional happinesses. His son John (Brownson) seems to be more fortunate. He has already purchased a small farm near Orestes and with his frugal wife seems bound to acquire a competence early in life. He asks of a new edition of Brownson's Review to be issued. Orestes takes no papers and seldom sees anybody except some neighboring farmer so that he knows not what the world is doing.

Gusman, A.L.:
Baton Rouge, (Louisiana)
to Bishop (Francis) X(avier) Leray:
New Orleans, L(ouisian)a
Gusman writes in regard to promissory notes given by Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché to the late W(illia)m S. Pike and secured by mortgage upon the St. Joseph Catholic Church of (Baton Rouge). After Pike's death in January, 1875, they became the property of his widow and children, but seem to have come to the nominal possession of Hezakiah S. Bell, a retainer of the Pikes and manifestly an interposed party between them and their creditors. Gusman asks Leray to turn a deaf ear to all demands for payment. He is the liquidation commissioner of an insurance company that has a judgment against the Pikes for over $115,000 and $60,000 of interest. In 1873 Pike appropriated to his own use some $237,000 which he held for the company as its Treasurer. This embezzlement was facilitated by the glaring malfeasance of one of the trustees who, being informed at the time by Pike, tacitly condoned the offense upon the promise of Pike that as soon as the then prevailing crisis was over and his business would permit he would return the funds. Gusman believes Pike was sincere, but since his death his widow and children have done all they could to solidify the at least quasi theft into an actual theft. The insurance company's judgment is now nearly two years old and only $1200 have been realized upon it. He also has a Catholic view to present which he could not omit without feeling that he was doing an injustice to Father (Cyril) Delacroix. If Leray arranges with the Pikes for the payment of the notes, it will cause serious trouble to and within the congregation. Leray expects the congregation to furnish the wherewith to pay the notes since they were given for the congregation. Their people are willing to subscribe liberally towards completing the church and towards Catholic objects and works, but as to the Pike debt nothing, for they reason that it stands neither in equity nor in common sense that they should make sacrifices to pay leprous individuals who cavalierly propose to plunder more than 100 Catholics of the Parish and twice that many Protestants.

Enaut should have sent the $50 which Leray perhaps has paid for him to the (Little) Sisters of the Poor. He wrote to the Mayor of Lake Providence to ascertain whether or not the $50 he gave by mistake to the clerk of the boat have been paid to the Sisters, but he has not yet answered. He wonders if Leray has paid the order he gave to the Sisters. It was not intended that they should get $100. Leray could let him know by the same occasion if he has received the accounts of Father (Joseph Marie) Ouelard. About four weeks ago he asked more faculties for dispensing from the prohibiting impediment of mixed religion, as he can dispose of only two more cases. Leray knows that he visited both Lake Providence and Milliken's Bend in October. If he wishes him to visit them again before the appointment of a resident pastor, he should let him know. Father (C.) Mahé's health does not seem to be very good. A few days after his return from France, he was sick and though he does not shrink before the work his strength is not equal to his zeal.

Hudson's letter received. The relics Hudson desired were sent registered mail. She has a cousin who is a Catholic and is thinking of marrying a Protestant. She asks Hudson to send a copy of "Mixed Marriages" to her. Miss Edes is humored by Hudson's remark of the foreign correspondent writing at home. During the summer Miss Edes took the Roman letter for the "Tablet." An article she wrote appeared in the "Register" with the same mistakes that were made on it in the "Tablet." Monsignor Fortini (?) has the idea that he is fit for any position from Pope down and had an idea that he was to be sent to Canada as delegate Apostolic. She will forward the remainder of her article soon, but she had to wait for some information. It is not true that the Propaganda has intended to establish colleges in Maita. The Ave Maria is very interesting. The mother of Cecile de Viner is her very close friend and that issue of the Ave Maria will be sent to her mother Mrs. Edward Fritn. Miss Edes had a natural quarrel with the Archbishop of Cashel. Regards to Father General (Edward Sorin).

Declaration urbis et orbis of the decree of April 13, 1878
In explaining the meaning of the decree of the Sacred Congregation of April 13, 1878 the Cardinal makes five points. 1. that in the society mentioned by the decree and similiar societies limited to a country or region there can be no membership in absentia strictly understood, 2. that in universal sodalities there can be no strict absence and consequently there is no such restriction in membership in these. 3. that in such universal sodalities presence is ordinarily required to fulfill certain rites of entrance unless exception is granted in single cases. 4. In these sodalities the right of inscription of members can be subdelegated provided the purpose of the society is preserved. 5. This decree is to be understood to apply to existing sodalities and to others that may be founded. (Copy sent to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell of Cincinnati.)

At Milliken's Bend there remains due on the church $93 for lumber and about $40 for labor. The congregation has made many sacrifices. They ceiled it this year, had pews made and still need many things, especially a room back of the church for the visiting priest. A letter received yesterday from H.B. Morancy notifies him that there are a large number of Irish at work on the levees at the Bend, and Leray knows that they are in the habit of contributing to the church. If he does not send a pastor soon, he might, if he deems it proper, send either Father (C.) Mahé or Enaut, with a mission ad hoc, for the purpose of collecting.
