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

Hudson's note and the manuscripts arrived. Two articles of hers appeared some time since and she has received no payment for them. Has payment been sent or has the Ave Maria decided not to pay for translations?

Johannes, C.S.C., (Father) P(eter): New Orleans, L(ouisian)a
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Would Hudson send him the amount collected through the Ave Maria for their church? He will have to pay two items this month that require more than the regular receipts of the church. P.S. Kind regards to all up there from Father Shea and himself.

Lambing, (Father) A(ndrew) A.: Pittsburg(h), P(ennsylvani)a
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

All is quiet and he is in good health. He hopes to visit Notre Dame soon. What is the date of the annual commencement? He lately fell in with "Purgatory Surveyed." It does not make any new points but he may add some remarks on the joys of the holy souls. He must not make Purgatory too dark.

Nelson Horatio P.:
St. Francis College Quincy, (Illinois)
to Henry F. Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

Nelson acknowledges the ms. copy of St. Bonaventure's dissertation and the receipt of Brownson's letter of April 3. He has not received the parts omitted and does not hope for them before August or September. He is glad to hear that he is republishing the philosophical works of Orestes Brownson with notes and hopes that its success will be such as to enable him to republish his other works. He is pleased to be in agreement with Brownson that his father's philosophical doctrine is essentially the same as that of St. Bonaventure. He believes that an identification of the two will disarm the most hostile critics. Unless St. Thomas and St. Bonaventure expressly differ, it is to be presumed that they agree with each other and with the other Saints and Doctors. The job of proving the disagreement rests on Father Mings school, who Nelson thinks will have to struggle against the traditional Catholic Philosophy. He thanks Brownson for his reply to his note of last February. P. S. He notes some differences given by Fr. Fidelis between the manuscript and the published text of St. Bonaventure.

to James F. Edwards: Notre Dame, Indiana

He will not be able to attend the commencement as he will be in the midst of building operations. He asks that Edwards tell Father (John A.) Zahm, (C.S.C.) to write to Father (D(ennis) A.) Clarke of Notre Dame. Their gratitude to Father (Edward) Sorin, (C.S.C.) for his promptly expressed sympathy will be lasting. She thanks Edwards for the photographs of Father Sorin and of the University.

Burger, Anthony J.: Reading, (Pennsylvania)
to J(ames) F. Edwards: Notre Dame, Indiana

He regrets that he cannot attend the annual meeting of the Alumni. P.S. His father is seriously ill. He would dearly love to visit Notre Dame. The announcement of the regatta has awakened excitement.

Otis, Elmer: Fort Abraham Lincoln, Dak(ota) Ter(ritory)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He did not expect it to be so long before he wrote Hudson as agreed. He speaks of missing his family and those at Notre Dame; he tells of the performance of his religious duties. He received a hearty welcome from everyone on his arrival, but he has not forgotten his old friends at Notre Dame and prays for them.

Pernin, H. M.: Detroit, Mich(igan)
to (Father) D(aniel) E. Hudson, (C.S.C.): Notre Dame, Indiana

Did Hudson receive the shorthand notebook he sent? He expected to see a copy of the "Scholastic" with the review, but has been disappointed.

Higgins, John: Knock, Co(unty) Mayo, Ireland
to F(athe)r D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: Notre Dame, Ind(iana)

He sends another letter for the Ave Maria. He will send a letter each Sunday. He also sends some Knock cards—two for Hudson and two for F(athe)r (Alexis) Granger, (C.S.C.). Will Hudson ask Fr. Granger to give him a constant place in his proteges and to have him remembered by his confraternity. A slight accident has prevented him from collecting subscriptions for the Ave Maria. When he came to Knock he resolved to remain indefinitely, and to become self-supporting he began to write. In an attempt to popularize Knock he has become indebted to a Dublin newspaperman. Other liabilities added to this make his position awkward. If his contributions to the Ave Maria possess any money value Hudson should put the highest price he can on them and remit to Archdeacon (B ) Cavanagh. How can knock be best and most cheaply popularized in America? He lists the editors to whom he has sent letters. Since he writes the best "Knock Letters" for the Ave Maria perhaps he can trust Hudson with the American part of the work, and since Hudson and the Ave Maria are devoted to the Mother of God he ought to charge himself with the care of the interests of Our Lady of Knock. He is sending Hudson a "Hymn to Our Lady of Knock," and expects to send the music next week. He would like Hudson to publish it and send a copy of the issue in which it appears to the author. He is also sending a copy of the "Irishman" for May 7. P. S. Hudson should forward the Ave Maria in which Miss Jane O'Neill's statement appears to her address which he gives.

Langrand, A.: New York, (New York)
to Father:

During 1880, more than, 100,00 workmen came from the East to the West, as statistics show, and nearly all of these went to work in places where practice of their religion was very difficult. Since a parish priest can do nothing to stop these migrations, the next best thing to do will be to direct these men in some way to parts of the United States where a Catholic priest can attend them and where they can secure lucrative employment as well. Langrand sends a notice (not present) which gives a plan adopted only by the Denver and Rio Grande Railway Company, which can scarcely be anything but beneficial to all Catholic workmen who enlist in the service. If this plan meets with the approval of Father, Langron asks him to send as many good workmen as desire employment to Pueblo or Denver, Colorado before July 10, 1881. Such a migration of men would entail a loss to the parish and for this reason the railway has made the provision that $12. will be given to the parish every year for every man who enters the railroad service and the same amount shall be given at the end of the second year. (In the James Alphonsus McMaster's papers)

Vagnier, (C.S.C.) (Father) T(homas): Leo, Ind(iana)
to F(athe)r (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He encloses the notice of a book Hudson sent him some time ago. Will it suit him? He is afraid he will become so hoosierfied out here that English will be a strange language. He will go to N(otre) D(ame) soon if he can get away. Can't Hudson send him F(athe)r (Thomas) Walsh's or Fr. Anybody-else's half-fare pass? Waterloo, not Kendallville, is his port.

Waddington, Elisabeth (Mrs. George): New York, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

She read some numbers of the Ave Maria for '79 and was so charmed with them that she wishes to become a subscriber. Will Hudson please send the back numbers from Jan. 1, 1881. She is a convert and was delighted to find a Catholic magazine so well written and edifying. P.S. She encloses a post office order.

Brague, Father Alph. Parish of Saint-Marceau: Orleans, France
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché: New Orleans, Louisiana)

He writes with the approval of Bishop (Pierre Coullié) of Orleans to ask (Perché) to receive his assistant into the diocese. Father Mathieu is forty years old, in good health and could render useful services. He is capable and has a solid faith, a devoted heart and a zeal which does not recoil before any sacrifice. Unfortunately he has a slight tendency to drink which involved him in a scandal. Since it has become too public, the Bishop cannot give him a post that would not dishonor him. (Perché) already has a priest whom Brague had for an assistant, Father (Marcellin) Broquère of Chenal; he does not believe that (Perché) has had reason to complain of him. Neverthe less, he had been an object of great sadness for them. Brague has never ceased to correspond with him and to urge him to do his best. Furthermore, his culpability was never proven.

Dorsey, A(nna) H(anson): Washington, (D.C.)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

She forwarded by Sunday's post the end of Chapter 12; only the conclusion remains. She misses Father (John J.) Keane, whose visits are now few and far between. "Warp and Woof" has been kindly mentioned in some secular papers, in the "Catholic Mirror" and one of the Washington dailies. She feels it would be a good plan to get up a uniform edition of her Ave Maria tales. She never considered that (Patrick) O'Shea had a right to the "Flemmings." It was agreed between Father (Neal) Gillespie, (C.S.C.) and herself that after appearing in the Ave Maria the copyright was hers. But Father (Edward) Sorin, (C.S.C.), who knew nothing of this arrangement, gave O'Shea leave to issue the book. She was negotiating with a publisher in Balti(more) when she received from him a circular of O'Shea's advertising the book. She was about to bring suit against O'Shea but knew it would bring Father Sorin and other friends at Notre Dame before the courts and bring scandal on the institution and the Ave Maria so she dropped the suit and accepted $300 as a compromise. She wishes she could forget the injustice but she is too old. As to Mrs. D, it would depend entirely on whether she enters the matter with a spirit to succeed or not. She details the story of a house her daughter is building. They have only Nellie's $1000 per annum and what little her pen brings her. Angie still cannot stand and Clare is still critical. Can Hudson send her a postal money order? As to Kenedy, She would as soon touch pitch as have further communication with him. He may or may not have bought Dunigan out. Dunigan had two successors and it is strange that they did not keep the plates. She is too poor to employ lawyers to fight for her.

French, S J.: Houghton, Mich(igan)
to (Father) D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: Notre Dame, Ind(iana)

He has not heard from Hudson for 3 months and is just recovering from an illness caused by an abdominal abscess. He had an operation 2 weeks after Easter which left him very weak. His friend and brother Mr. Boxer of LaPorte took his duty through May and his brother "according to the flesh" will relieve him for the next month. On Whitsunday the church was closed for repairs. He has spent all the great feasts of the year in his room.

Hutchison, W(illia)m (J.M.): London, England
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

After posting his thanks for Hudson's registered letter of May 3 he received the treatise "Behold thy Mother," by F(athe)r Roh, S.J. He hopes to see it inserted in the list of useful Catholic works recommended in "Catholic Belief." He has carefully and thankfully read Hudson's Valuable remarks. He enumerates several points in the book which he wants Hudson to clarify. He has not yet sent Hudson's suggestions to Father Faa di Bruno because he has been away from his college at Turin, but he will soon be at his college at Masio, Piedmont, and he will send all to him there. Dr. di Bruno tells him there is prospect of a re-publication of the 3rd edition of "Catholic Belief" in America. A translation into Italian is in progress. There are many shortcomings in the work; he would like it to resemble more the work of B(isho)p (Jacques-Benigne) Bossuet or Archbishop (James) Gibbons. He suggests some changes in it. He is writing from his bed, still a prisoner of hope.

Lambing, (Father) A(ndrew) A.: Pittsburg(h), (Pennsylvania)
to F(athe)r (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He sees by the "Scholastic" that commencement will take place on the 23rd. He intends leaving for Notre Dame on Sunday evening, the 19th, and to remain with Hudson as long as he can so as to return for confessions on Saturday evening. He encloses $2.00 from Father Jos(eph) Rommelfanger of Butler, (Pennsylvania) for "Mixed Marriages."

O'M(eara), K(athleen): Paris, (France)
to (Father Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): Notre Dame, Indiana

She thanks Hudson for the enclosure and the letter of last week. She is thinking of a sketch of Soeur Rosalie's life but modern types are perhaps more useful. It is hard work possessing one's soul in peace these troubling times. She had an inspiring letter from Card(ina)l (Henry Edward) Manning about her Perreyve. He is angry at a hostile notice of it in the "Tablets." She hopes Hudson will not condemn Perreyve as a liberal.

Souchong, Father A.M.S.: Laredo, (Texas)
to Archbishop N(apoleon Joseph) Perché: N(ew) Orleans, (Louisiana)

The day after his arrival, Mr. Lagrange was obliged to leave for Mexico because he was pursued for abuse of trust. It appears that he compromised himself as an engineer of the international railroad at San Antonio. He had signed on with the Palmer and Sullivan Company of the Corpus Christi railroad, but they no longer wanted his services when they discovered how he had acted with the other company. From there he went to Monterey. Souchong forwarded the $5 to him there. His intention was to leave immediately for the Panama Canal where he hopes to find work. Perché can reimburse Souchong whenever it suits him. If anyone should ask him about Laredo, Perché can reply that there is more publicity than reality. It will never be a large city since the railroad coming there returns immediately to Mexico. This part of Texas is not suitable for agriculture; it is good only for herds, and these often suffer from the drought and in the winter from the cold. This year the wheat harvest was good, but that is very unusual.

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

The Chief (James A. McMaster) gave one of his gentle taps at the paragraph on Father (A ) Koning's book. If this Keeps on he will not make the jubilee. He cut some quotations out of Longfellow but hopes he has not spoiled Hudson's article. Hudson is right about R. (Eliot Ryder). He has no discretion and very little taste. P. S. If the Chief hadn't been pleased with Hudson the Ave Maria would have gotten a column about "N.E.C."

Hudson's letter and money order for $19.50 collected by the Ave Maria have been received and will do him a great deal of good in the dull summer months. He thanks Hudson and all who helped in any way. He is convalescing after a 2 weeks' illness. Father Shea is well.

Keller, Stephanie: St. Etienne, Loire, France
to Father (Gustave A. Rouxel: New Orleans, Louisiana)

Some Alsatian priests who reside at New Orleans have informed their families of the death of Father Joseph Anstaett, former secretary to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché, and the American religious journals affirm this sad event which apparently occurred last June 16. Keller's mother, who lives in Alsace and is Anstaett's sister, has never had any direct news of this. They ask him to let them know if it is true and also to give them some details about the death. If her uncle left an estate, she asks him who has the right to it. There are three branches: her mother; a nephew and a niece, Mrs. Laurent and Emile Anstaett who resides at Galveston, and other nephews and nieces at Vasseloune, Alsac, Bas-Rhin. Her mother's address is Mrs. Catherine Jungbluth, Mutzing, Bas-Rhin, Alsace.

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

The Ave Marias which he said were missing in yesterday's letter, were in Galway and just this morning he received them all. He will finish the "Irish Legend" and when Hudson thinks he has room for it he will send the concluding chapters. He will be here till the end of the month. The country is disturbed, owing to the action of Civil landlords worked up by an alien government.

Neithart, C.SS.R., Father Benedict A.: New Orleans, (Louisiana)
to Bishop F(rancis) X(avier) Leray:

Neithart writes at the request of their Provincial, Father (Nicholas) Jaeckel, (C.SS.R.) who has learnt that the Ladies of the Sacred Heart propose to establish an academy in or near their parish (of St. Alphonsus). Such a measure would not be desirable because (1) they already have two teaching sisterhoods; the Lazarists in Bouligny have the Sisters of Charity and the Dominican Nuns in Greenville, and Father (J.B.) Simon wants no sisters at all in his parish; (2) their parish schools are only half full and swallow up annually several thousand dollars of the Church revenues; and (3) neither they nor the Lazarists could furnish a chaplain. They already have four sisterhoods for whom they say Mass and the Lazarists have three. Another matter is that there should be another church between them and the Lazarists in Bouligny. The (Redemptorists) would be ready to build a little frame church and school, provided a convenient locality could be agreed upon, on or near Louisiana Avenue which belongs to Father (John B.) Bogaerts and the Lazarists of Bouligny. There is the Gordian knot they cannot cut, except with the consent of the ordinary and the Bouligny pastors.

Great expenses will be incurred; therefore, as is the wish of Pope Leo XIII, Virili, asks (Perché) to collect the offerings of the faithful and to send them to Cardinal Dominic Bartolini, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Rites or to Virili.

She does not feel she is a stranger to Hudson because she is the niece of Mrs. Fitzgerald and the daughter of R(ichard) H. Clarke, L.L.D. She asks for Mrs. (Fannie E.) Pequette's (Piquette) address in Washington and Miss (Maude Perley) Purly's, who she understands married a man from South Bend (Indiana) and is living there.

Meany, Mary L.: Philadelphia, P(ennsylvani)a
to (Father) D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

The past years have been so full of petty cares that even our Blessed Mother's journal was put aside unread until this year. There was one editorial, on Hudson's father's death, which she should have seen earlier; she expresses her sympathy at length. She always felt Hudson was a convert because the fear of God is missing among born Catholics nowadays and only in converts is it steadfast. Hudson was right when he implied in his letter of Candlemas that aid would come to her through Our Lady. On the feast of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart she received from Archbishop (James F.) Wood the sanction of all she proposed to do by the "St. Patrick's Institute for Ladies." She is trying to get a house where she can begin. One of her "good intentions," which his Grace approves, was to have a little reading room, and to try to push the circulation of Catholic publications. She would like to have the agency of the Ave Maria; she thinks she can get Hudson a few good advertisements in the city if he will authorize her. She has a story to send Monday and will have the addition to St. Anne of Auray's Pilgrimage ready for her feast.

O'Meara, Henry: Boston, (Massachusetts)
to (Father) D(aniel) E. Hudson, (C.S.C.): Notre Dame, Indiana

He was gratified that his lines should meet with Hudson's favor and that they should be the means of putting him in communication with Hudson. Does Hudson remember him as the clerk at Donahoe's bookstore? He lost sight of Hudson, but knew he was in Holy Orders, until a priest spoke of him as Editor of the Ave Maria. While editor of the "Catholic Herald" at Lawrence (Massachusetts) he received the magazine but has not seen it lately. He is now better paid and appreciated than when working for Catholic papers but regrets being cut off from Catholic literature. He would feel relieved to find some outlet for thoughts in that direction. The poem was first inserted in the "Pilot" and he explains some changes he made regarding the name of the Sister on the enclosed proof. Hudson should send him the number in which this appears. Has Eliot Ryder received the poems he sent him, and what of his "Anthology"?

McGrath, Father P.C.,: Macomb, Ill(inois)
to (James Alphonsus) McMaster: (New York, New York)

McGrath asks McMaster's advice on the matter of investing a couple of thousand dollars profitably for his parish. Many parishes are is such a situation that they may suddenly have to draw from their reserve funds, and McGrath after being ordained for 13 years, is just beginning to think of the rainy day. He has kept himself out of debt and feels that that alone is an accomplishment. His money is in the Mon(r)or Savings Bank in Rochester, (New York) and so he asks McMaster's opinion of the wisdom of this move.

One of the sick friends for whom prayers were requested died an edifying death; the other recovered and is now doing well. The third intention for himself and family has also been granted. He has been offered a position from the Head of an important Government Dept. which opens out a bright prospect before him. He asks that his little tribute of thankfulness to the Blessed Mother find a corner in the Ave Maria. He promises to send a small contribution and to become a life-subscriber. Have Messrs.

All the missions (of the Sisters of Mercy) are going well, the hospital included, and to the outside world this duty brings greater applause than all the hard labor of instructing the young. Bishop (Francis) Janssens has come at last; both clergy and people seem well pleased, and as they have known him they have reason to believe he will be a kind father. He is very cordial and though so young looking, inspires confidence. Father (Henry) Picherit is to be pastor at Vicksburg. Poor Father (H.) Oberfeld who has become so unpopular is to take his place in Jackson. They hear of Leray often through. Dr. (Warren) Brickell and not long ago through poor Mrs. Binsley. De Sales is glad to hear that his health is so good and hopes to see him in Vicksburg before his return to N(ew) O(rleans). They have only one graduate this year but expect 6 or 7 next year. Janssens appointed Father (Philip) Huber their ordinary confessor. Mothers Angela and Benedict, Sisters Ignatius, Xavier, and many more send greetings.

Edes, Ella B.: Rome, (Italy)
to F(athe)r (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

She acknowledges receipt of Hudson's favor of May 18 and the draft. She waited to secure the faculties from Ara Cochi(?) but yesterday she learned that the Proc(urator) Gen(eral) of the Alcanterines was not at the convent so an attendant gave the faculties. What Hudson says of the Irish question is but too true. They are a curious people. (Charles Stuart) Parnell seems working "pro domo sua" and those crazy sisters of his ought to be "spaynkted" as Toddie would say. She thinks the grandfather "Old Ironsides" would be the first to apply the rod were he living. The Nun of Kenmare came out against her in the Tablet, greatly to the amusement of B(isho)p (Herbert) Vaughan of Salford (England). Cardinal (John) Simeoni told her that he had had Archbishop (Thomas W.) Croke written to, to make it up with the Archbishop of Dublin (Edward McCabe) at once, or the Propaganda would interfere after he wrote such a letter against the Archbishop of Dublin's Pastoral. It was smoothed over at a dinner and His Grace of Cashel is a little more sensible since. Hudson was misinformed relative to Msgr. Capel being in America. He is probably in London teaching: all his faculties are withdrawn though he says Mass in private. Has the fame of the last production of poor Miss Tincka "By the Tiber" reached Hudson? It is a caricature of the American Catholic ladies there and she is portrayed as "Miss Cranbray" who is "to be looked upon as a person of great influence in the Church." As if a woman could have influence there. She lists the reasons why the authoress does not like her. Dr. (Francis Silas) Chatard and Msgr. Nardi are also characterized in the book. The book has no plot and the situations are formed to give room to the vindictive ravings of a disappointed woman. She hopes Hudson received the constitution "Reasons Pontifices" and the last pamphlet of F Curci, which is a complement to his former publication. They say the Index is examining the new pamphlet. Another great celebrity is there, Mrs. Eckel Harper of "Maria Monk's Daughter" fame. She has gotten round the Augustinians and is writing a history of Our Lady of Good Counsel of Genazzano, the Augustinians having custody of the shrine. She is glad Hudson liked the pictures of St. Thomas Aquinas. Father Carberry thought they were the best likeness extant. She presumes he is now in America where he accompanied Father General (Edward Sorin, C.S.C.). Archb(isho)p (Michael A.) Corrigan wrote her on June 4 that they were daily expected. On June 6, she received a letter from a French missionary in America, then at Lourdes. He writes the miracles continue but the Devil was so furious at the fervent prayers of 700 Bretons kneeling there that he cried out in French against the Virgin. Those present were as impressed with the language of Satan as with the cures wrought that day. At a consistory held on June 20, the Holy Father (Leo XIII) announced the approaching canonization of Blessed (Benedict Joseph) Labre and Jean (John) B(a)p(tist) de Rossi.

He has had no reason to change his faith since then. He saw Mr. (Patrick V.) Hickey the other day. He and Mr. MacCarthy and the boy Jim run the machine.

She is in receipt of Hudson's favor and also letters from F(athe)r General (Edward Sorin, C.S.C.) and Bro(ther) Stanislaus (C.S.C.), along with a copy of her book. Bro. Stanislaus has done the best that he could to repair the damage caused by his predecessor, but the volume is a sad wreck. Father General thinks this edition can be used for premiums and as she did not want the community to suffer the loss of $450, she told him to exhaust the first edition as premiums and to correct all errors in the second edition. Although there is indignation against the ruin wrought in her work she pities the poor wretch who caused it and hopes he will not suffer want on her account. She did not tell Hudson before that E(liot) R(yder) wrote to her from N(ew) York four or five years ago asking for an autobiography and selections from her poems for an Anthology of Cath(olic) Poets he was planning at that time. About the same time she received a similar letter from J. O'Kane Murray asking selections for his "Prose and Poetry of Ireland." She submitted the latter letter to the judgment of a friend, now a Bishop, who told her to ignore it. She acted on his advice and when Mr. R(yder)'s letter came she applied the same advice and made no reply. When Maurice (Francis) Egan got his first position with (Patrick V.) Hickey and went to New York she wrote him to find out something about this gentleman. Maurice then made Ryder's acquaintance. After that Hudson knows in what manner he discussed her in his articles. She has been suffering intensely again and asks for Hudson's prayers. P.S. She trusts Hudson will prevent her from being misrepresented in Prof(essor) (Joseph A.) Lyon's book. Also that he will do justice to "Crowned with Stars" in a special notice in the Ave Maria. She encloses a poem that Hudson will understand.

The greatest fault of the religious is that they become environed by a world of their own and are apt to forget the laws which govern the world. She was pleased at what he said of Nellie. She asks his prayers for the success of Nellie's undertaking. Her two daughters, Clare and Angie, are slowly improving. She did not see the notice in the "Mirror." Father (S ?) Ryan told her of it.

The Central Board of the Propagation of the Faith has allocated to the diocese of Natchitoches 18,000 francs. Since their last distribution the Holy See has decreed the creation of new and considerable missions, notably in Asia and Africa. Consequently, they have had to devote an important part of Catholic alms to these new needs. P.S. They could not send him this letter without expressing their gratitude for his encyclical of last December 3.

In '59 she married Mr. Brumley, a stranger who remained only two weeks. About three months after he left, a letter came addressed to him from his father saying: Betsie and child have left. She gave it to Father (Mathurin) Chapin. Chapin says she told him she had reasons for believing that he had another wife elsewhere. She went to Vicksburg in 1862 and was married by a priest, never speaking about her second marriage. All her statements have been corroborated by Mrs. Hawkins. Mrs. Jackson lost one of her sons last week. The people of Mil(l)iken's Bend were edified in seeing a priest at a deathbed. Father (Ludovic) Enaut left for Vicksburg to tell good-bye to Father (H.)

The story concerns the reason why Ethan Allen's daughter entered the convent. She tells the story in detail as it was told to her. It might be well for Hudson to get the exact account and publish it for the honor of St. Joseph. She is now building St. Joseph's Chapel and has met with unexpected obstacles. She asks Hudson to pray for success. The man who helped the architect stake off the ground was the very Morgan cured by Our Lady of Lourdes some years ago.
