André, Father J(ohn) B.:
St. Nicholas' Church, Louisiana
to Archbishop N(apoleon) J(oseph) Perché:
New Orleans, (Louisiana)
After receiving Perché's letter of December 18, he was able to meet with Father (Jean Pierre) Ponchon and Father (Claude) Jacquet only on December 19th at Father (Hyacinth) Gonellaz's silver jubilee. He informed them of Perché's letter. Jacquet replied that his boundaries were the same, running over Bayou Perché to the estate of Devésin Olivier for his line with Father (John D.) Flanagan. André's boundary with Jacquet runs in a straight line to the flat prairies. For Flanagan, there is the large marsh extending from the Devésin Olivier estate, then up the Bayou to the estate of Louis Grévemberg where it meets Ponchon's boundaries. André is taking the large part, passing by the ( ) Morési estate to Agricolo Grévemberg in order to join the Cypremort forests as far as the ( ) Callery residence. Cypremort proper belongs to Ponchon and the forest has been conceded to André by Ponchon as ordered by Perché. The area between Cotes Blanches and Cotes de Weeks extends about twelve miles and includes seven estates upon which a large number of Catholic families work. Because of the distance of the churches these poor people live without the assistance of religion. Therefore, he asks permission to build a chapel in the Cypremort forest in order to serve them.

Cette, (France)
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché:

She does not know how she has been able to go since September without writing to him. However, the last month of 1880 was filled with so much sadness for her that she did not wish to afflict him with it. She wishes him a very happy New Year. She prays constantly for him, for her mother and for Blanchette. Their reverend Mother sends her respects. Their pupils will never forget him. The Virarey and St. Quentin families ask to be remembered. He should return to France. She wept a great deal yesterday, the anniversary of her father's death. She likes to think he will soon be in heaven. Her poor mother is courageous about it and with Blanchette has gone to Roanne to stay with their old aunt, Mrs. Molé. The family is dispersed. On the banks of the Mississippi at St. John Baptist lie her father and her young brother. She asks (Perché) to convey her best wishes to (Jules) de Boursetty and to the letter's cousins who were so good to her mother.

Buffard, Father Theo(dore):

to Archbishop N(apoleon) J(oseph) Perché:
New Orleans, (Louisiana)
Council of the diocese of Galveston met to discuss the case of Father V(ictor) Gury whose name Perché wants to blot out and replace it by the name of Father (J.L.) Bussant. The council feels this is an injustice to Gury because of his long and honorable service. From the words of Perché's dispatch, it seems the charges against Gury were brought by some priest or priests. Father (Anthony) Truchard denounced Gury in a letter to Buffard. Gury wants an investigation and wants charges against him made specific and proved. The council protests against the treatment of Gury until at least he is heard. Other members of the Council who also sign are Father J(oseph) Quérat, Father T(heodore) Hennessy and Father Jos(eph) Chromcik.

Did Hudson know Father Aegidius (Hennemann, O.S.B.) was in Little Rock, (Arkansas)? He sent a poem which she sends to Hudson. The priest in it is Father Gregory Rossi, O.S.B., a Saint of the Bavarian Benedictines. Did Hudson say last June that the pastor of South Chicago was an ex-Jesuit? She discusses the (Father Martin) van de Lear scandal again. She describes the meeting between herself and van de Laar at Miss (Eliza Allen) Starr's. The scandal has made her very sensitive. She comes in contact with "not refined and educated humanity but with plain rough honest hearts." She thanks Hudson for his patience.

Stace, M(ary) A(nn):
Columbus, Ohio
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
In translating the tales, she hardly used her own judgement but set Hudson's opinion above her own. Tales ending in rewards of a material nature to the hero are worldly rather than Christ-like. Endings which assume conversion to the church are only partially correct - faith is only the skeleton on which a Christian life is formed. Christianity is largehearted: It condemns the sin, but pities the sinner. The need today is for tales that will cultivate "The interior life" - the life that unites the masses, as well as the rich, with God. Christianity, to remain progressive, must deal with the questions of labor and capital fairly, vigorously. The enemy sees the injustice of the world but proposes a remedy which must fail in its aim because it is altogether materialistic. Catholics alone can successfully deal with the question of making labor honorable. But Catholic publications are too full of "caste" to touch the question.

Genty(?), Father:
Autun, (France)
to (Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
Perché asks for information about Father (Alexander) Marchand, former Dominican and pastor of Torcy in the diocese of Autun. As pastor he has not given any cause for complaint, except that being constantly in demand as a preacher he has been absent from his parish too often. However, he does not appear to have all the practical judgment that might be desired. At least he has not shown it in a financial transaction that was the reason for his leaving the diocese. He borrowed money to buy land and then had to resell it at a loss when he could not repay the loan. To escape lawsuits he asked permission to go to America. Genty believes that he intends to raise money to pay his debts. (Perché) could probably employ him very usefully, if he watches him a little.

Hyde, Edward A.:
Kenosha, Wis(consin)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
His poems "Star of the Sea" and "Behold thy Mother" are too good to throw away but not good enough for their subjects. Hudson shouldn't worry about hurting Hyde by criticizing him or refusing to publish his poems. If "The Types of God" makes one single better communion, it would be justified. Hyde was baptized a Presbyterian at twenty and suffered much before entering the Catholic Church. Father (J.M.) Cleary says Hyde is a "gin-u-wine Yankee." At An Arbor, Michigan Hyde learned that Protestant college professors are dunces whose unapproachable dignity keeps them from being found out. He had in mind starting a new church, but he who said "Seek and ye shall find" brought him into the true Church. His wife got a legal divorce by perjury, and his four children are not permitted to see him. He was baptized into the Church on Jan. 16, 1876 and will be forty May 1, 1881. He has thought of entering a religious house and Father (John) Casey gave him a letter of introduction to Father (Edward) Sorin, (C.S.C.) which he mailed last fall. But Father Sorin is in France and hence never answered the letter. He hopes to receive a letter from Hudson soon.

She received a check for her letter about her experiences in Italy. She wishes Hudson could pay for the letters. She is writing a book for some distinguished noble ladies of Bologna on educating their daughters to be great women. She cannot see why Hudson will not accept advertisements in the Ave Maria. The loss of subscribers would not be equal to the advantage of employing the best writers. She would also introduce a column of receipts for cooking to increase circulation. She hopes Hudson did not find her last letter long on account of remarks about the government. She knows some in power and they have no desire to hurt religion more, but the extreme men will put them out and Rome will be occupied by desperadoes. Dr. B( ) O'Reilly has returned from Rome where he received great praise. O(')Reilly asks to be remembered.

Today he owes him 5,500. Bishop (Adolph Louis Albert) Perraud assured him that he would be repaid without delay.

In reference to the act of donation of land for Harrisonburg's church, he thinks the donor has altered his mind and that he will have to buy a lot with money he wanted to spend in building. Father (John Baptist) Avenard is far from being well. If the Sisters (of Mercy) want to succeed, they do not take the proper means. In Pineville from 28 scholars last year, they had only 3 last month. They have excluded the poor. Last August Ménard offered them $25 per month and their ferriage: they wanted more. He deplores that those who were to feel the effect of religious training will be deprived of it.

He asks Hudson to forgive him for bringing up the unmentionable subject again. He alludes to past incident and conversation. In reading his Mother's letter, he was overwhelmingly selfish. Hudson's own emotions were visible. He sends Hudson some verses which contain bits of his theology. If Hudson is at times disgusted with his seeming levity. Hudson must remember that beneath it is a tumultous ocean which threatens to sweep him away from all that is good.

Coughlan, Father M(ichael):
Loreauville, L(ouisian)a
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché:
N(ew) O(rleans, Louisiana)
When Coughlan spoke to him about the college of New Iberia last month, Perché told him to put it will in writing. He reminds him that the college had failed completely when he was charged with it, that it owed several hundred dollars which he paid, and that Perché himself paid approximately $1000 due on the institution. Several times he asked to leave. A little before Perché's departure for Europe, Perché had negotiated through Father (Joseph) Anstaett with the Brothers of Mary for the purchase of the college. One brother accompanied by Anstaett examined the college and made a favorable report to his superior. Father (Claude) Jacquet knew of this. The yellow fever and quarantine of 1878 hurt them a great deal financially. The flood of September 1879 destroyed the church at Fausse Pointe, several persons were killed, and the harvest largely destroyed. Coughlan then went north to seek funds to rebuild, leaving the college in charge of three professors. Hardly had he left, when Jacquet began scheming to take over the college. He wrote to Father (Henri Parmantier) Parmentier of Galveston to get ready to come as a professor. Finally, when Parmentier was on the way to France, Jacquet took him. Parmentier is not qualified. Until that time Jacquet had always said that he wanted nothing to do with the college, and Coughlan had not had the least trouble with him. Several weeks after Coughlan left, Jacquet took possession without any authorization. He dismissed several negro gardeners and without their surveillance many objects belonging to the college and Coughlan were stolen. If Jacquet had waited until the end of the school year the money due could have been collected and the few debts paid. Besides his salary, Coughlan has made repairs on the building costing about $350, he left there a brass band which cost him $130, class books worth about $60, a new stove $50, and several other articles. Jacquet took two cows belonging to Coughlan. One died in his possession leaving a calf which Jacquet killed and ate. On Coughlan's return, Jacquet gave him $3 for the calf and nothing for the cow. Now Jacquet refuses to pay the debts of the college. When charged with the college, Coughlan paid debts he had not contracted himself and in his more than six years there he did not received half his salary. He has been charged with a parish and his predecessor in leaving took all the money for the pews. Since then the church has fallen down and all the money he can get he is using to build a new one. During Leray's absence, the v(icar) g(eneral) decided that Jacquet should pay the debts of the college since they were not personal debts. Jacquet paid Mr. ( ) Gagarty for the class books; he ought by the same token recognize his responsibility for the other debts.

He has met Father (Edward) Jacker who is in Hancock, (Michigan). Jacker discovered the bones of (Father Jacques) Marquette, (S.J.) at Point St. Ignace. Jacker is a delightful man and a bookworm. He has worked among the Indians in this region since before Bishop (Frederic) Baraga's death. It seems that their friend ( ) Perkins has cut them completely. It may be he is tiring of Western life.

Kuhls sends McMaster $10. $6 for the Freeman's Journal for 2 years and the balance for copies for the Freeman of the previous week. Kuhls is pleased by the letters of Pope Leo XIII, Archbishop (William Henry) Elder, and Rich(ard) White. These letters should be ready by all Americans, especially Catholics, who, as Kuhls has found in the 18 years of his experience, are the greatest enemies to their own schools. This condition will not impreve as long as New England and New York continue to furnish freeschooled young priests. Bishop (Louis Mary Fink, O.S.B.) of Levenworth, Kansas will not allow any child to make its first Holy Communion unless it has attended a Catholic school for at least two years, and in the future he may not ordain any priest who has not received a Catholic elementary education. If another McLane dies in New York, Kuhls hopes he will remember in his charities such papers as the Freeman's Journal, which furnishes at least 10,000 people weekly with a good Catholic paper.

Toner, (Father) P(atrick):

(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He has not received the bill for the everwelcome Ave Maria. He has been in Naples for several months on the advice of his doctor, but the Ave is forwarded regularly from Biarritz, where he expects to spend the summer. He is unable to return to his parish but preached the Advent sermons at the wish of the Archbishop of Naples, and the archbishop allows him to preach and hear confessions at the church della Vittoria as long as his health necessitates staying in Naples. The climate is very favorable and Naples is a great Catholic city. He would prefer to return to beloved America and work in the mission there. It is sorrowful to see so many priests dying so young in Penn(sylvani)a and the rest of the states. Thank God he can still say Mass every day, and it is a consolation to be able to preach and hear confessions of the English speaking people. He sometimes makes a convert or brings a Catholic back into the church. He prays that the United States may be converted, but the difficulty is the infidel public schools. He does not know why the Bishops tolerate Catholics attending the public schools when there is a moral certainty that their faith and morals are corrupted thereby. It is better to have no knowledge except that which divine faith teaches than to have every science of this corrupt age and risk losing true faith and eternal salvation.

to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
When he returned from Akron, he got Hudson's letter. He did not write the article in the Catholic Press. He signs all he writes. He is sorry Hudson did not come to Akron. If he comes later he should take the Fort Wayne, (Indiana) road which connects at Canton with the road through Akron. (Manly) Tello recovered but must rest awhile yet before beginning work.

Boursetty, Jules de:
Rome, (Italy)
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
Boursetty is leaving Rome and will return around March 15. Propaganda opposes every plan for liquidation and approves every plan for unification. It has telegraphed orders to pay the interest; it has written and awaits the reply of Bishop (Francis Xavier) Leray. Perché should have received the "Correspondence de Rome." which forms with the "Osservatore" and the "Journal de Rome" the groundwork of the structure that Perché knows and which was strongly desired by Pope Leo XIII. Boursetty is going to Paris to assist in completing it. (Paul Emile) Theard's matter is at the signature stage. Cardinal (John) Simeoni and (Perché)'s friends at the Vatican ask to be remembered.

Marchaisse is collecting all the documents he can in order to write a complete life. He asks (Perché) to send all that could recall Regnier, particularly his estimate of Regnier's course of philosophy at Beaupreau.

Jenkins, Father T(homas) J.:
Hardinsburg, Kentucky
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He returns proofs, but defends his statements on foeticide in New England. He admits prejudice in some of his opinions but there have been many converts from the center of American scholarship. He does not accuse Hudson of Puritan New Englandism or of predelictions for the public school system, and therefore retracts his comparison of the provinces of Boston and Cincinnati. He wants more specimens like Brownson, Hewit, Preston, Stone, and Hudson. The establishment of thirteen parish schools, five or six higher schools, in the last twelve months attest to the importance attached to the question of Catholic schools since it was made hot in New England. He received the mementos and constitution. He requests the Ave Maria be sent to his mother and god-daughter. A Luxemburger, Father (M.) Oberlinkels, and his housekeeper are reading "Marienhind" for him and offering suggestions about "ungermaning" it. It has snowed for days. God help the poor in the cities; those in the country cannot well freeze anyhow.

She should have written a month or more ago so that this would arrive at the time for New Year wishes, but she has been sick. Their "Oeuvre de Famille" is advancing slowly because the times are not favorable, but they are able to do a little good. It is difficult to make a choice among the persons worthy of interest. She hopes he will send his blessing so that they may place it in their archives. It has been impossible for her to pursue the business from which she had hoped to draw some profits that she could send to him. The work of getting started has fallen completely on her because Miss (Claire) Née has been unable to help.

She received a letter from Mrs. Sidney Wanham of Nancy, France, the author of "Short Lectures", asking if the book could be published in English with profit. Last month an excerpt appeared in the "Ave Maria", and interested many readers. Mrs. Wanham asks for royalties; has Hudson decided what to do in this matter? A small sum of $25. would probably be satisfactory. The author engages in charity work that reaches others than the state charity, though she is not herself a rich person.

Cauvin, Father (Anthony):

to Bishop (Francis Xavier Leray:

On May 24, 1880 Leray informed Mr. ( ) Coudert, Cauvin's representative at New York, that in view of the financial distress of the Diocese he would not pay the interest on the $45,000 which Cauvin and others had loaned to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché. $25,000 was loaned to save the Church of St. Vincent de Paul from being sold for debts and a mortgage for that sum was given on August 23, 1873. The interest on the $25,000 was paid until January 1, 1879 with the revenues of that church, first by the pastor, Father (Etienne Jules) Foltier and then by Perché. For several years Cauvin was a pastor in America and he knows that each church pays its debts from its revenues. Last July he wrote to Father Gilbert) Raymond asking him to obtain at least the interest on that church debt. He makes the same request of Leray.

He learned from a letter of B(isho)p Gilmour that Mother Angela (Gillespie) of St. Mary's is familiar with the early history of an interesting part of this diocese. He will write her and refer to Hudson's copy of the history (of the Catholic Church in Pittsburg and Allegheny). For a month he has been correcting the proofs of a translation made by a German priest, a friend of his. He has been quite busy, and gives a short detail of the day.

She discusses various letters and relationships with Eliot Ryder, and prays for him even though he scoffs at her prayers. She prays Hudson may be the instrument in God's hands to save Ryder. Her little babe has had a cold since she left New York. She left because diphteria and small pox had reached almost epidemic form. She is going to the southwest when the weather is good enough to travel. The letter she sends Ryder by way of Father Hudson can only be understood if Hudson read Eliot's letter to her. His letter was a tissue of falsehoods, except for her unwillingness to tell her friends and relatives of her marriage. He complicated her business last summer by meddling where no possible good could result. She lives now only for her little girls, who will be educated in a convent with her wish never to leave it so no man may break their hearts.
