Quigley, Father P(atrick):
Brooklyn, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Quigley thanks Hudson for his remarks about Quigley's testimony in the Pittsburgh Case. When Quigley was invited to take part in the case, he was informed that the jury had been dismissed, the case taken out of court and under a state statute of 1874 referred to Judge White as a referee. At Pittsburgh, they found the case was still in court, and a fight was to be made in open court. Quigley was provoked on reading the printed reports of the testimony, when he realized how much he was prevented from saying. The lawyers were not prepared to conduct a case of this kind, even the judge compelled them to speak on many points which had no relation to the case in court. No doubt, Hudson has noticed Mr. Marshall's sharp cross-examination of Quigley. Marshall, a prominent lawyer, treated Father (Edward) Hecht and Bishop (John) Tuigg roughly.

Xavier, (S.M.), Sister M.:
Vicksburg, (Mississippi)
to Bishop (Francis Xavier) Leray:
(New Orleans, Louisiana)
She asks for Leray's prayers so that she may make a good retreat as the (Sisters of Mercy) go on a retreat on the sixth. Mother (M. de Sales, S.M.) and Mother Angela (S.M.) have been gone for a month to Pittsburgh. They are very much afraid for Sister Vincent, (S.M.) who has gotten very thin. They have another pastor, Father (H.) Oberfeld having gone to Jackson. They have two priests (at Vicksburgh). Another, Father (John H.) Wood, is coming in September. Father (Philip) Huber is their chaplain. They will always miss Leray. Bishop (Francis) Janssens looks good but is still a stranger. Mother Benedict, (S.M.) is their Mother in de Sales' absence. Ellen Geary, Leray's old housekeeper, died. Tom Geary has to discontinue his studies for the priesthood, his health is so bad. Mrs. Binsley's last letter was bordering on despair. Sister Josephine, (S.M.) has been here since vacation; she was at the Pass during the last session, Sister Stanislas (S.M.) too.

Lambing, Father A(ndrew) A.:

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Lambing thinks it would be well for the Ave Maria to warn certain Catholic papers of the impropriety of admitting certain medical advertisements. Of the same class are those principally from Portland and Augusta, Maine, issuing agents so many dollars per month to sell articles.

Mahé, Father C.:
Monroe, L(ouisian)a
to Bishop (Francis Xavier Leray:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
Mahé wrote concerning Mrs. Dunn's marriage but (Leray) did not answer. (James) Campbell of Bastrop wrote to him yesterday about buying one acre of the graveyard. There will never be enough Catholics in Bastrop to fill up the three acres. It is some distance from the church and they already have five acres around the church. This is a good opportunity for getting rid of this worthless land. Father (Ludovic) Enaut is of the same opinion. It cost $25 an acre, and Mahé sends the $25 as he is trying to have the church painted inside and outside. It (Leray) consents, he should send a power of attorney. It would separate the graveyard from Mr. Smith's property, the same Smith who wanted to sue him for establishing it. He was at Delta last Sunday. They now have $356.20 for building a church. He promised to start as soon as they have $500. He supposes (Leray) heard that he liked to have died about 3 weeks ago. He is now better. P.S. He encloses a power of attorney.

Father General (Edward Sorin, C.S.C.), who is giving a retreat at St. Mary's (Convent), asked her to write to Edwards to say that he would be obliged if Edwards would say to Mrs. Dunbar that he awaits her word to commence at once the memorial chapel dedicated to the Sacred Heart. Mrs. Dunbar ought not to let go this opportunity. It will be a consolation to her on her death bed.

Durier, Father A(nthony:

to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché:

The news which the Propagateur has just given them about (Perché)'s health gives him pleasure. Weakness because of unusual heat is not illness. He congratulates him on the nomination of Father (John) Dumas. (Perché) has finally completed his work for St. Maurice (Parish). He congratulates him on what he has done without any reproach for the past. Durier heard at the deathbed of Father (James Ignatius Mullon?) Mullen these words which (Perché) could repeat: "O my God, Thou wilt not reject me because I never rejected an old sinner." The Convent of the Immaculate Conception is going its way with all the prudence that (Perché) recommended. (Perché)'s heart must have been wounded by the insult of the Italian hoodlums to the remains of Pius IX, whom he loved so much. Leo XIII has just declared that this outrage proves that there is neither liberty not security for the Pope at Rome but that he would brave all dangers. They still like to say the prayer for the pope that (Perché) prescribed.

to James F. Edwards:
(New York)
He hastens to reply to Edwards' letter. His previous letter probably has been forwarded. He is glad that Edwards is having such an enjoyable vacation. He asks if Edwards thinks that Mrs. Catherine D(unbar) will really give that sum for a chapel. If Father General (Edward Sorin, C.S.C.) were sure, he would begin building and tear down Phelan Hall. Hudson is sorry to hear such reports of Mr. R. Father (William) C(orby, C.S.C., chancellor of Notre Dame University has informed Mr. R. that the council has decided not to retain him next year. Hudson asks that Edwards see Mr. (Maurice F.) Egan and tell his that R. is not a member of the faculty now. Hudson has experienced great relief from a Holman pact; he has not suffered from the pain which had been almost continual for the past months. He trusts that he has lost nothing by bearing unnecessary suffering so long.

For reasons of health, Dallas states this is impossible. He wishes he could live in the East for a few years so that Marie could attend an art school of an advanced character.

(L'Estrade, O.P.), Sister Henri Dominique (Louise):
Cette, (France)
to (Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
If only (Perché) were there. The Lord has created such a void around her. Her mother is at Roanne and will never return to the shores of the Mediterranean where she wept and suffered so much. (Perché) suffers also. Sister likes what her mother says of him: he has the heart of a saint and the spirit of Bayard. After 10 years in France, Sister still writes to (Perché) about Blanchette (L'Estrade) as she would write to her own father if he were still on earth. Sister regrets that Blanchette does not have a religious vocation; if she had a dowry she would be married today and her mother would be assured of her future. Aunt Molé is 83 years old; she lost her fortune in the revolution of 1848. If she had her fortune, her slaves, she could have dowered Blanchette. Last year the Bishop of Calimes and someone for Blanchette but not having a dowry, all ended there. Mrs. St. Quentin proposed a second person; the dowry is very modest. Sister has written to relatives and friends but without result. Perhaps (Jules) de Boursetty would contribute to the dowry. Sister asks (Perché) to send the address of Mr. Isaacson and George Porteous, friends of her father. The Vivarez family and Father Ollivier, who was here this summer, send respects.

Hudson's lecture on (Henry W.) Longfellow induced Norfleet to pay more homage to this American poet. He would like Hudson's opinion of the Ingersoll-Black controversy. Norfleet wishes Hudson would write him something on the doctrine of atonement. He requests the address of D. A. Harrington of Boston.

In a recent issue of the Ave Maria, de Pombriay noticed a translation of passages from Abbe Janvier's work on (John Leon Papin) Dupont. He inquires if it is Hudson's intention to translate the entire book. Janvier requested de Pombriay to delay translating his work until the second edition was published, in the meantime he accepted de Pombriay's proposition to translate the life of Sister Mary of St. Peter. Pombriay has not inquired of (John) Cardinal McCloskey what must be done to get his imprimatur before the two lives can be published. He would like Hudson's advice on this matter. If Father (Edward) Sorin, C.S.C., a friend of Dupont's, would recommend de Pombriay's translation, the two lives would be published without difficulty.

White's article concerning the White Earth Mission, (Minnesota) has been read by one of McMaster's subscribers, W(illia)m Byrne of Jacksonville, Florida. Byrne has donated $50. to the mission, and in the absence of the abbot, White answered Byrne, suggesting that he try to form a group to raise $500. to support one priest among the Indians. Byrne answered this letter by sending another $100. and by giving White permission to publish this letter on condition that his name be kept secret. He does not object to McMaster's knowing his name but does not want it published. Byrne has sent White some names of other men whom he thinks would contribute and asks that the Freeman's Journal be sent to each. White has mailed copies to two of the men and submits Byrnes' letter and proposal for McMaster's consideration. Any mention which is made of the project is bound to be a favor to the Mission. The Abbot and prior arrived back that morning bringing the news of their visits to McMaster while in New York.

Jordan, J.H.:
Mobile, (Alabama)
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
(New York, New York)
Jordan encloses McMaster's last letter to himself and also the circular from the Academy (neither are present). The school recommended is too stylish for Jordan's means and he cannot consent to send his child to any school where there is not the broadest basis of equality. There is an excellent school here and nothing more could be desired for his child were it not for the extreme and intolerant Presbyterian nature of the teachers and books. Even though his child is the only Catholic at this school he would rather send her to the Presbyterians than to the public schools or to the Catholic A.B.C. schools, since he wants his child to receive a full education. Sometimes he regrets that he is not Episcopalian as his wife was, since she was very charitable and superior woman. His wife was superior to his own two sisters in every respect except viture, and this was because of her protestant education. McMaster's editorial has aroused in him a long dormant conviction, and if he sends his child to Sharon Hill, (Pennsylvania) it will be solely on McMaster's advice. No recommendation of any clergyman could influence him so much because he knows from experience that McMaster's editorials are true. He wishes to find a school where incidentals and pocket money are not emphasized over education.

Now he can pay for the trip himself. (Perché)'s goodness is proverbial in Italy, and Pezi does not doubt that he will be happy to assist a young Roman priest.

His wife is a Catholic; his eldest boy, about 9, accompanies him. He became acquainted with Father Doyle at Washington and said he believed Father Doyle suspected him of being raised a Catholic.

(Brownson,) Orestes (A. Jr.):
Dubuque, Iowa
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Orestes, after a recent talk with a gentleman, refers to Henry the following questions: is knowledge a virtue? If knowledge is power, is it a virtue? Does the development of the intellect necessarily make us better? He asks for Henry's opinion and reasons. Also he asks whether all intellectual philosophy is but a following out of the plan laid down by Aristotle. He asks where he can find a complete treatise on Aristotle's plan and how he can learn it. He will have time during the winter to study and asks what course of methaphysics to read with his son. Perhaps Henry can lend something from his library on these subjects. He hopes Henry and his family are in the best of health.

D(orsey), A(nna) H(anson):
Washington, (District of Columbia)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Leonce has no basis for his hypercritical remarks about Dorsey's story for in her description of the life and climate of Louisiana she consulted a history of the state. The Sadliers have failed and Dorsey supposes that her book "Beth's Promise" is in the hands of their creditors.

Perché, Archbishop N(apoleon) J(oseph):
Carencro, (Louisiana)
to Bishop (Francis Xavier) Leray:
New Orleans, (Louisiana)
Perché authorizes Leray to take, with the advice of the archiepiscopal council, the severe measures which he thinks suitable against Father (John) Scollard of Kennerville. He thanks him for what he wrote about Father (F. Christophe) Cuny, and he agrees that he could remain for the moment with Father (M.) Kelly. According to Leray's advice, he sent Father (James) Claffey to make a retreat with the Trappists two months ago. He has returned, apparently well disposed, and Perché believes it would be good to send him temporarily to St. John Baptist where he would be under the direction of the Jesuits. He would like to go to (New Orleans) to talk over various matters with Leray, but August has been as tiring as July. He is sending (no enclosure) a letter he received from Cardinal (John) Simeoni. The latter received a letter from Father (Antoine) Borias complaining of having been deprived of the parish of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart without reason. Leray can answer or, it he prefers, Perché will answer. The poor man, who is crazy, takes the surest means of losing everything.

Marchand, Father Al(exander):
Mandeville, (Louisiana)
to (Bishop Francis Xavier Leray:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
The house about which he spoke to Leray was bought today for $300. He gave $112 of his own and signed a note for $200 payable Nov. 1. By then he hopes that he will have found the complete sum. As soon as the man who is living there has left, he will move in. That will be on his return from Bonfouca where he is preaching a retreat. It has not yet been possible to see the guardian of the Protestant temple for permission to give his concert there, but it is more than probable that he will agree. The inhabitants will assist him for the furniture and in October they will hold a great fair.
