(Brownson, Jr.), Orestes (A.):
Dubuque, Iowa
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Henry's favor of the 21st was duly received. Orestes is sorry to hear of Henry's trouble with the gout, for he has been afflicted himself and describes his own remedies. Once when their father (Orestes A. Brownson) came to see him, he shared Orestes Jr. 's corn bread diet and the long walk to town, but finally went to a restaurant, remarking that he preferred his corpulence and gout to his son's diet and exercise. Winter is coming on, and Orestes is very tired of teaching his school. He thanks Henry for his intention of sending books and awaits them anxiously. As for metaphysics, Orestes finds he lacks the previous training necessary to understand his father's system and Wayland's Philosophy is too elementary. He hopes Henry will not cease work on account of his illness: he is already the intellectual heir of their father, and his translation of Balmes has given him a universal reputation. His son John (Brownson) is studying medicine, and his son Edward (Brownson) preparing to teach school.

Enaut is now in good health and spirits. The Daughters of the Cross have opened their school under favorable circumstances. They are all well except Sister Benedict, D.C., one of the new Sisters lately from France. There is a great deal of sickness in and around Monroe. Father (C.) Mahé is improving fast. He is now on a trip in the north for his health. Monroe is very much excited over the railroad question, and progress is being made between Monroe and Delta. Enaut would like to know about building a church in Delta. The people there have $350 cash and Enaut would like to know how much Leray would add to help them start.

Boursetty, Jules de:
Paris, (France)
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
The last numbers of the Propagateur inform them that (Perché) is still at New Orleans and that pain in his legs confines him to his room. They spent the summer in Normandy and the ladies are still there for October with the Marquis and Marquise de Baviera. Father (Hippolyte) Leneuf has been with them since May. They have made all sorts of plans for next year, the time (Perché) had set for returning to France. (Perché) should have received and official announcement of l'Osservatore Romano last May. Boursetty added a few lines which perhaps escaped his attention. The matter desired by Pope Leo XIII has been successfully undertaken. Baviera is here for it, and Boursetty is going to leave with him for Rome where he will spend several months and will assist at the canonization of Benedict Labre. Miss Huet asked him for 300 francs on (Perché)'s account. Although the diocese is still his debtor, it concerns (Perché) and so he sent them. All (Perché)'s friends at Paris and Bordeaux ask to be remembered. Father Videard is honorary canon and secretary to the Cardinal. He left St. Eulalie and replaces Father Arnoult as chaplain of Loretto.

Enaut, Father L(udovic):

to Bishop (Francis Xavier) Leray:
(New Orleans, Louisiana)
Enaut received the visit of two ladies from Rayville who ask him to endorse a letter written by Dr. Jordan. One of these ladies () Graham is an idiot and helpless invalid, and Enaut does not know why she left the convent of Vicksburg. Perhaps Leray can get information from the Sisters of Mercy before trying to secure a shelter for her. Father (C.) Mahé is at Niagara Falls and feels much improved. He intends to spend a few days in Cincinnati, then proceed to Notre Dame and will be at Lake Providence for the second Sunday of October, at Milliken's Bend for the third and back to Monroe in time to give Enaut a chance to go to Delhi for the fourth Sunday.

Sister has learned that Mr. Toomey inquired if any of the Sisters from the Scholastic were working on the Ordo and since they were not this was left to the Sisters on the Ave Maria. The arrangement is that Sister Mary Cherubim will work on the Ordo at her recreation. The Scholastic has been late, owing to the ill disposition on the part of the principal worker. She has more difficulty with the Sisters in the Printing Office than with any other employment in the House.

S de B, A de:
Havana, (Cuba)
to (Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché?:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
She begs him to take her under his powerful protection in the most critical situation for a woman who has always made a religion of her honor and reputation. She has written to Miss Romey and instructed her to read the letter to him. She asks him to write the three letters upon which more than her life depends. He has always been her guide, and Romey has never abandoned her. B Z is a villain. He ought to fear heavenly vengeance and perhaps that of a woman who has in her hands some terrible weapons against his family. He should not forget that the Redon matter had been confided to Mr. S., and that S. de B. possesses all the papers and the letters of his wife who so cheapens the reputation of others in affecting a ridiculous jealousy accompanied by criminal accusations.

Montgomery, Tho(ma)s H(arrison):
Philadelphia, (Pennsylvania)
to Monsignor (Robert) Seton:
Jersey City, (New Jersey)
Seton's letter of the 7th carries him back 20 years and more when he was fresh in his compilation of the Mongomery History. The Madame and Mrs. Montgomery refer to one and the same individual. Mrs. Montgomery, née Harvey was the wife of Montgomery's grand uncle, William Montgomery, who became a Roman Catholic and lies buried in St. Augustine's burying ground. Her mother was of Swedish descent and mention is made of her by Gregory Bedell Keen, formerly in American orders, in his "Descendants of Joran Kyn." In the current issue of the "Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography", Seton will find the Reverend Samuel Cooper mentioned along with the date of his death in Bordeaux. Montgomery believes Keen has further details of his connection. He would like to have a copy of Seton's abridged edition of his grandmother's Life and Letters. He is familiar with the (Charles B.J.F.de) St. Mémin prints; his collection is more noted for its omissions than its admissions. Montgomery is obliged to Seton for the old bookplate of his great grandfather which he especially values on account of the established connection with their family. He will look for "Les Ecossais en France" in their libraries here. He has a "working copy" of his History for another possible edition which his descendants may issue.

Siddall, Frank H.:
Philadelphia, P(ennsylvania)
to James A(lphonsus) McMaster:
New York, New York
Siddall has sent McMaster $250. in another letter, to cover the cost of advertising in the Journal, and has received an acknowledgement of this amount. McMaster entirely misunderstands Siddall's method of selling soap if he thinks that the grocery trade is being snubbed. This is not the company's intention because a personal canvass has been made to stimulate the grocery trade in connection to the soap. The method of the firm is to first create a demand for the soap among consumers and then when the interest of the people is aroused, the soap will be sent to grocers under the terms of the soap company. This method leaves the whole transaction in the hands of the grocery house, which is not made to feel that the company is forcing the soap upon them. Several large New York wholesale houses have complimented this way of doing business, since no goods are forced upon them until there is a great enough consumer demand to sell them. The company is content to do business in a small way and to ask others to meet their terms, and then when the people desire the product, the business will increase. Without having pushed the sale of the soap the company is selling 500 boxes monthly in New York and 6000 boxes monthly in Philadelphia. This is the Siddall's Soap way of doing business and no one has found fault with it. The company will continue to pay the greatest of attention to both newspapers and grocers in the future.

Germain, Father (Joseph):
Gethsemani, K(entuck)y
to (Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché?:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
He arrived at Gethsemani on the 8th but still no further advanced than the first day. The regime of the house is even more severe than that in France because the convent is very poor, the land is very difficult to work, and there are very few lay brothers. The directory exaggerates the number of religious. There were more than 45 at the time of foundation but now there are no more than 25. They have not professed a single American. There are two Oblates (of Mary Immaculate); they follow the same rule as the religious except for a small collation which they are permitted in the morning. Nevertheless, Germain is disposed to embrace this life if the abbot, who is absent, receives him because the more he meditates the more he realizes the need to do penance. However, he fears the abbot will make difficulties, for it is said that he is very rigorous and inflexible about the rules. He traveled from New Orleans to Lebanon with Father (John B.) Bogaerts,pastor of St. Henry. Bogaerts told him he would not be able to endure the austerities of the Trappistsand that it would be wiser to make a retreat with the Benedictines at the monastery of St. Vincent in Pennsylvania. The pastor of St. Boniface, Father (Joseph) Koegerl,knows them very well, having spent some time with them last year on his return form Europe. However, neither of them knows of Germain's personal difficulties. Perhaps God will provide him with an unexpected solution. Bogaerts told him that Father (Alexander) Mariné, (C.S.C.)was in Belgium looking for subjects (for the Congregation of Holy Cross). Germain wonders if Father (Edward F.) Sorin, (C.S.C.)would be accessible after he has made a good retreat.

Forgesis well disposed toward the house and opposes her only because of her audacity in involving Bishop (Francis Xavier) Leray in matters that do not concern him. If she has won the Esteem and protection of Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché, she has earned the dislike of all the priests and largely merits the disapprobation of her superiors whose authority she has disregarded for such a long time.

(Leray, Bishop Francis Xavier:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
to Archbishop N(apoleon) J(oseph) Perché:
(Jefferson College, Louisiana)
Since Perché's departure, Father (Hyacinthe) LeCozic has treated him in a strange manner. LeCozic believes himself to be master of the archiepiscopal residence and refuses him a key for the room which has been occupied by the chancellor and the finance office. He demands that (Leray) knock on the door and await permission to enter. Perché appears to have decided the question in favor of Lecozic and to humiliate the episcopal dignity. (Leray) protested against this tendency to Perché, but since it seems only to have encouraged him to pursue the same course he must respectfully tell him that the dignity which he represents compels him to refuse submission to Perché's orders given in his letter of Oct(ober) 28 to LeCozic. In writing those strange lines Perché has not taken into account (Leray)'s Position in the diocese.
