Béronnet, Father J(ean) M.:
(New Orleans, Louisiana)
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
Béronnet sends (no enclosure) the constitutions of the Daughters of the Cross. All seems admirable except that pertaining to the confessor and the Superior which the Sisters have the right to present to the ordinary. It seems that this should be made to conform to the rule for communities of women in America. As for their discussion yesterday, Béronnet finds it hard to reconcile the exception of Koning for the papal benediction with the principle (which he cites here in Latin).

Dunne, Edmund F.:
F(or)t Dade, Fl(orid)a
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Dunne thinks the title "My Experience with St. Anthony" is better than the original one of his article. He would be obliged if Hudson allowed him to avail himself of Hudson's offer to get St. Anthony leaflets for the colony. Hudson's suggestion of an article on San Antonio Colony must be done promptly, since Dunne has but a limited time to hold lands for the Catholic settlement. Dunne thought of writing to Dr. (Patrick F. uigley asking him to send his notes on St. Anthony, but he is busy with classes and working for his Brighton Church and Dunne does not wish to bother him. Notes on the San Antonio Colony are not enclosed.

(Oliver, S.M.), Sister Mary Aloysius:
Alexandria, (Louisiana)
to Bishop (Francis Xavier Leray:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
Father Menard has just told Sister that (Leray) said that she could go to Pineville as there was a resident priest. Having suffered by a mistake of this kind in coming here, she is determined to have such changes from her Superior. Owing to the high water, she was obliged to send the sheep and cattle over and put up a small house for a caretaker. Their schools are very well attended this year.

Cincinnati, (Ohio)
to Ja(me)s A(lphonsus) McMaster:
(New York, New York)
Father (H.E.) Brandts, (Vicar General of) Covington, K(entuck)y asks McMaster to do him the favor of giving him the name of the best steamer leaving New York for Holland around August 2. He is going to God's noblest kingdom under William the Third, of Orange. He is meeting his nephews in Holland and wants particulars as soon as possible. The 26th of July will be the 25th anniversary of his ordination and on that day he will leave for New York where he hopes to see McMaster. When Thornbury interviewed him, Brandts read to him from a pamphlet containing the decrees of a recent council of Bishops, and condemnations of the Freeman's Journal and The Irish World. Brandts and Father J.W. Smith of Covington send their regards. He sends a copy of the pamphlet he refers to.

If McMaster is willing she is to leave on the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. She is to receive the name of Sister Teresa since there are no others bearing that name at the present. Her retreat begins immediately.

Crespin, Father (Dominic):
(Vacherie, Louisiana)
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
On April 2, Crespin received the letters patent giving each priest his spiritual powers. Crespin had promised one of his friends to go to his home to baptize his two children but as (Perché)'s letters arrived, taking away this faculty, Crespin asks for this time only, to send this authorization. Father (John Mary) Ravoire in holy week, performed the marriage of a Miss Abadie and her agent(?), both of Crespin's parish. Many have come to Crespin to express their indignation.

Dicharry, Father P(ierre) F(elix):
Natchitoches, (Louisiana)
to Bishop (Francis Xavier Leray:

Dicharry sends what Leray asked for (no enclosures). The important thing is that he died while doing penance. (Leray) is to read Father (Joseph August) Poullain's letter. Poullain would like to leave for a diocese which is more French. (Leray) has seen Father (V.F.J.) Pellouin. Poullain thinks that Pellouin should be alone in some mission where he would be forced to act. It seems that (Leray) does not think so and neither does Dicharry. Dicharry has promised Poullain the sum he asks for.

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Gordon is thankful for Hudson's letter. She has been traveling the past few weeks and has stopped at Cape Girardeau, where she is visiting her brother, Josie Gordon, who attends St. Vincent Adacemy. Gordon met the president of the College, Father J. W. Hickey, C.M. She is staying at the convent of the Sisters of Loretto, who are stationed at the College, which lies on the banks of the Mississippi where one can get a good view of the river boats as they pass. Mother Constantia, the superior, has better furnished quarters than Mother Angela (Gillespie's) or Mother Lucretia's. Gordon notes there has been a great renovation in the Scholastic since Hudson took over the editorship. She expects to go to Saint Louis to Zoe Papin. Gordon's father has come to the conclusion he can not make a physican out of her.

Jevons, Tho(ma)s:
New York, (New York)
to Monsignor Robert (Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
He is much obliged to Seton for thinking of him in connection with the fragment of Seton's grandfather's journal; it is aggravating that the remainder of it is lost. He is going to make an extract of references to families he knows in Liverpool. He will talk with Barker when he has a chance. He is much obliged to Seton for sending him a complimentary copy of his volume of Essays. He received a letter from Henry (Seton); Annie (Foster Seton) is still ill but Henry expects her to be better in a few days. Will(iam Seton) has not yet returned from the South, though he was in New York on Saturday. Jevons agrees with will that Seton is the proper custodian of the papers. If ever no one bearing the name of Seton is able and willing to keep them, Jevons will be ready to keep them for the next generation.

to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Sister sends a tale for notice, which was written by an Irish Sister of Mercy, together with a volume of Sister's verses. The Ave Maria made a mistake about Knock in their recent article. It was the present Archbishop of Tuam, John MacEvilly and not the late Archbishop (John) McHale, who authorized Sister to build the convent, and who does not believe in the apparition. But Sister thinks he does believe it but will made no pronouncement until it is approved by Rome.

N(ew) O(rleans, Louisiana)
Yesterday Simon celebrated the first Mass in the new church. It is not finished; Simon owes nothing and still has 50 piastres. They have been flooded for two weeks. Simon has lost his garden and many trees in his orchard are dead. Many houses have been destroyed, among them the chapel at Bordelonville. It was sad to see the parishioners coming in boats of all kinds. Simon spent a lot to build a levee to protect the church buildings; the water took everything. Simon appeals to Leray's charity. P.S. Simon does not know when this letter will arrive; they have been cut off from the world for two weeks.

Boursetty, J(ules) de:
Rome, (Italy)
to Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph Perché:
New Orleans, Louisiana)
The two envoys of the corporation will be of the opinion that the solution is in (Perché)'s hands. In Rome it is unanimous that (Perché) is a great bishop; Boursetty does not believe they have the same opinion of M. The Cardinal of Propaganda cannot officially write to (Perché); his position is delicate but all his sympathies are with (Perché). (Perché) knows the changes in the Vatican: Ricci is a Cardinal, Monsignor Macchi will not replace him, Leo XIII has chosen Monsignor Théoduli as majordomo, Monsignor Agnozzi has been sent to Columbia as Apostolic Delegate; it is considered a disgrace. Monsignor Jacobini goes to Propaganda as secretary; It is he who will study the question of N(ew) O(rleans). Macchi remains Master of the Chamber and Baccoli will not leave the Pope. Boursetty is going to return to Paris in a few days. (Perché) will be saddened by the bankruptcy and ruin of Messrs. Mairet and Vaillet; they are excellent persons. The crisis has had many victims. If (Perché) were here with the two envoys of the corporation, the affair would soon be over. Mr. Theard is to receive 4000 f(rancs?); if he supposes that Messrs. (E.) d'Aouin and Mairet sent Boursetty 1000 f(rancs?) for his brief, he is mistaken. Boursetty received nothing.

Ryder is resigned to meet death calmly. He has no photographs of himself and is unable to afford having one taken. Father R.'s letter is forwarded; it contains something that will please J(oseph) A. L(yons). Ryder is sorry that "Hawker" is delayed. He recognized the article on (Henry W.) Longfellow that appeared in the Scholastic as Hudson's. John Oldcastle's work "Journals and Journalism", Ryder did not read. The Boston Journal so rarely prints Catholic matter that Ryder supposed the sketch interesting and so sent it to Hudson. He thanks Hudson for the five dollar advance on "Hawker".

The difference between Hickey and Tuigg has been amicably settled. Father Ferdinand Kittell remains in Rome to attend to other matters of the Pittsburgh Diocese.

Raymond is sending his Easter collection, $20, to Father (Henry A.?) Connolly. Raymond has already spoken of Father (Hyacinthe M.) Lecozic's unjust conduct against the convent of Opelousas. Lecozic did not want Raymond to say Mass in the chapel of the (Sisters) of the Holy Family the last time he was in the city. A member of the corporation told Raymond that Archbishop (Napoleon Joseph) Perché wants everyone to send the cathedraticum to him; Perché always forgets that Leray is the temporal administrator. After 12 years, they have been given a sheet of faculties. Raymond was secretary at all the synods and provincial councils and drew up the statutes and decrees. If Perché drew them up he must have been tired when he did so. They say Perché is going to Rome. If Leray goes there, Raymond hopes that he can clear up everything.

Corby, C.S.C., Father W(illiam):
Watertown, Wisconsin
to James F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He is anxious to know how Edwards is getting along. He asks if Jo is still alive and if he has a pass on the Lake Shore. He tried to get those works of Brownson from Father (John) O'Keefe for Edwards but failed. Corby was never happier in his life than he is now. All he wants is a little news.

Vagnier, C.S.C., Father Th(oma)s:
Leo, Indiana
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Vagnier thanks Hudson for the book. He has looked over (Frances) Howe's article and can find nothing out of the way as regards doctrine, but the restaurant incident is repugnant. Father Moriarty's book is good but E. M. Stewart's work has a horrid style. Vagnier saw Father (Thomas) Walsh recently while he was in Fort Wayne. He inquires if there is a spare altar stone at Notre Dame, for he is in need of one.

Howe, Francis R(ose):
(Chesterton, Indiana)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Howe sends Hudson a picture which she asks him to show to Father General and to Father Granger. Since Hudson was interested in the case of that girl, Howe tells him another remarkable speech she made. It is useless to ask Howe of Chicago Catholics She cannot enter their houses without being subject to insult. So she never visits any of them. Howe used to go to confession to the same Benedictine Father. Three years ago different arrangements were made so that it was difficult to find the same one two consecutive times. Howe applied to Father Aegidius (Hennemann) for a special recommendation. She went to Chicago to see the Father to whom she was recommended but appointments were made only to be broken. Howe expresses a few thoughts on the sad death of that poor priest. Her mother joins her in regards.

Gordon, Adella:
Cape Girandeau, M(iss)o(uri)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
Notre Dame, Indiana
Gordon thanks Hudson for the Scholastic which arrived yesterday. She passes on a criticism that she has heard more than once of the Scholastic, but that was before Hudson became editor. Gordon read a work entitled "Secrets of the Convent and Confessional" by Mrs. Julia McNair Wright, a most vile combination of lies ever penned. She wonders if Hudson has seen and read it. Gordon wishes to know what are the "Homo Apostolicus" and "Theologia Moralis".

O'Connell, C.S.C., and Brother Stanislaus. They expect to build a new convent in the summer.

The manuscript has been sent. Dorsey is disappointed that Hudson cannot leave Notre Dame and come East for a visit. She has been suffering considerably from heart trouble.

Dorsey requests that Hudson send her the address of Lady Georgiana Fullerton. Father (James) Doonan celebrated Mass for the Dorsey family this morning.

(Toner, Father Patrick):
Naples, Italy
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Toner thanks Hudson for the "Naples Letter". After consultation with Monsignor Cardi, a French prelate, who is studying English, they have decided that silence is their only stronghold. He says he often sees boys 8 to 15 walk naked even in the Via Roma. He says the "Naples Letter" does not tell the whole truth as to the nasty habits of the Neopolitans. This summer Toner has to remain in Naples to help the Apostolic Missionary from Central Africa to collect funds. Toner and the French prelate may do some good by showing the "Naples Letter" to the leading ecclesiastics and nobility of Naples. No wonder American Protestants fear a Catholic country. Toner is doing his utmost to have the authorities at Rome veto all Catholic children attending infidel schools. He cannot understand why so many of the American bishops are so indifferent about Catholic training of the young. He hopes every state is not so badly off as his own Pennsylvania concerning schools. (Edward) Cardinal Howard is well instructed on the point and works for the cause but many of the Italian officials around His Holiness are inclined to throw cold water on the subject. It is rumored that some have been bribed by the Banking Bishop (John) Ireland to help perpetuate the toleration of the infidel schools. Cardinal Howard was thankful that Toner wrote and signed his name to the document on public schools. Since B(ishop John Frederick) Wood came to Pennsylvania they have lost fearfully. Father (J ) Hickey who has been in Rome, opened the eyes of Rome on the conduct of Wood and the other bishops of Pennsylvania. Hickey is a good priest but Wood and his own bishop handled him roughly. Toner heard him say that he never found Wood except drunk and entirely fit(?) for any duties, but that he had the bank and could send on $10,000 to bribe the officials in Rome and is therefore suffered to reign.

R(yder), E(liot):
Boston, (Massachusetts)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Ryder answers Hudson's recent letter just after returning from two trips, one to New York, the other to Providence, both of which have weakened his already poor health. He does not expect improvement in his health until warm weather arrives. Ryder did not write the notices of McCarthy and Rossetti that appeared in the (Boston) Star. He asks Hudson to say nothing about his book, even though it has been accepted and will appear in October. It will be entitled "Phases" and will contain only a small fraction of Ryder's verses. It cost Ryder little effort to go to Warren's and get the photo of (Henry W.) Longfellow. He asks Hudson to excuse him from sending his own photo at the present time. Ryder has been unable to make remittance to Joseph A. (Lyons), but plans to shortly. He asks Hudson to watch for Father (Adrian) Rouquette's notice in the N(ew) O(rleans) Catholique and send Ryder a translation. Ryder returns the note on "Hawker" which has been embodied in his article; the item was also contributed to "Notes and Queries" of the (Boston) Transcript during the dispute about Hawker. He asks Hudson to send a copy of the Scholastic that contains his poem "Even So". Ryder's wife has been in Boston since December 9th but he spends most of his time with his mother in Dorchester. Sometimes Mrs. Ryder comes out to the home with his daughter, who is a most amicable child, but his wife tries Ryder sorely. His article "Religion and Avarice" rests half done.

Shea, John Gilmary:
Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson's relic of St. Francis de Sales has reached him and will be preserved with holy care. Years ago Shea found that an Abenaki missionary, dedicating his chapel to St. Francis, sent a letter and a wampum belt as an offering of his Indian flock to the tomb of the saint of Annecy. Shea wrote and received word that the American offering was still preserved and they sent Shea a copy of Father Bigot's letter. Shea wishes to propagate devotion to the Venerable Anthony Margil of Jesus, founder of the Texas missions, apostle of Guatemala, founder of a missionary college. His cause for canonization was very far advanced. This year, if Shea has time, he intends to get out a life of this servant of God. Shea is suffering from a racking cough, and he feels that his days may perhaps be numbered.

to (James F. Edwards):

She did not suppose she would let Edwards' note be so long unanswered. She stayed too long at Notre Dame last spring; it was so hard to tear away. She tells of the work she has to do in the bindery. If Edwards really wants her picture at Notre Dame, she has an oil painting by Miss Austin. She hopes to get some of Brownson's Reviews for Edwards from Julia C. Smalley, author of the "Three Converts."
