to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
If Cardinal (Henry) Manning thought there was a "locus poenitentiae" for him, they cannot dare to withdraw the chance from him by publicly acting in a secret charge. Hickey is surprised at (Kathleen) O'M(eara's) failure to see such a charge would disturb them while it leaves them powerless to act. At Rome they seem to think it best to be silent.

A notice from the "Standard" is enclosed with a few suggestions for the Ave Maria. Lambing suggests that the Ave Maria print this story. (John G.) Shea should be asked to write an article on it. It would increase devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the history of the devotion to the Blessed Mother would be traced.

Shanghai, China
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
(Bishop) P(ierre M.) Osouf will be in America this winter accompanied by Father Alfred Pettier. Doyle asks favorable mention of them in the Ave Maria. Both men are young and modest, except that Pettier has a bit of the Yankee style of manner. For seventeen years United States mail steamers have made semi-monthly calls in Japan, but none has brought a donation to the Catholic missions. Hundreds of thousands of dollars feed the Protestant proselyters. Doyle calls upon Hudson to make these things known. He calls Hudson's attention to a letter he wrote to the Tablet of London on the subject of Freemasonry.

Sister Louise, prioress notifies McMaster that his daughter, Sister Teresa of Jesus, has been accepted by the (Carmelite) Community, and will profess her vows privately before the Community on Nov. 21. In a public ceremony she will receive the Black Veil on November 22, and Sister Louise hopes McMaster will be able to attend. Archbishop (James Gibbons), (of Baltimore) has already given Sister Teresa permission to take the vows. She requests a written statement from McMaster to the effect that the dowry of Sister Teresa will be given when she reaches 21 years of age and that the interest will be paid in the meantime. This formality must take place before the profession. She sends regards to Gertrude (McMaster).

McMaster, Mary M(axwell):
Leetonia, Ohio
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
(New York, New York)
Her delay in answering McMaster's letter was caused by her absence from home. Her father was buried in Xenia, (Ohio) along beside 8 to others of their family name. There will soon be 10 in this spot because it is intended to remove the body of Uncle Crawford (McMaster) to a spot left him by his sisters, as soon as winter comes. He has been buried in Poland, (Ohio), since the hot weather did not permit that he be taken to Xenia. Her father had hoped to take care of this but was so ill when Uncle Crawford died that the doctor thought he would die first. At the time she was alone in the house except for the black man who nursed her uncle, who was a dreadful charge to her for 4 years. Her father was sick for 3 years and was often confined to his room and to his bed for long periods of time, requiring constant care. There were only 9 times in 6 months when he could be left alone without someone in his room at night. At the time of her marriage 2 years ago she did not think her father would live long but he recovered and was brought to her house on a bed. He left all his old friends of nearly 40 years standing and also scores of young friends, since many had never known any other pastor. In several months he improved so that he could go out, and could attend church meetings where everyone he met showed him respect and honor. His humility was remarkable, his manner as gentle as a child's, and his patience and endurance intrigued everyone who saw him. During his long silent sickness his mind remained clear enough to pursue the daily studies of the Scriptures in their originals. She sends a small photo of her father taken before he became ill. In a short time a little memorial volume will be published for him, one of which she will send McMaster. She herself has married her father's intimate friend, Rev. A.V. Maxwell of Leetonia, who is well known in Presbyterian circles. Leetonia, on the Fort Wayne R(ail) R(oad), is devoted to iron works so it is not too pleasant in some respects. Her only living sister, Anne Netta Brownice of near Poland, (Ohio) buried her two lovely children in one week last winter, and now has another baby daughter. She knows nothing of her cousin Gilbert McMaster except that he was teaching throughout the West, and trying to be another Gough, or Francis Murphy, or something of that sort. She thanks McMaster for his long letter to her and for the notices about Helen (McMaster's) taking of the (Carmelite) veil. She has seen rather incomplete notices of it in some other papers. She gives her regards to Jennie and to the rest of McMaster's family and hopes to receive another letter soon.

Majerus, Father (Thomas A.):

to James Alphonsus McMaster:
New York, (New York)
Majerus has noticed in the Nov. 3 issue of the Freeman's Journal the article signed by Rafael Celedon encloses the last sentence of Our Lord's prayer in quotation marks. Even though McMaster did not make any remark about it, Majerus knows he does not approve of such an interpretation of the prayer, and wishes to ask the correspondent from which author he quotes. Neither St. Matthew, St. Luke, nor any catechism or prayerbook he has consulted, has given any such version.

Sister Louise, prioress, notifies McMaster that according to orders from the (Carmelite) Ecclesiastical Superior, Sister Teresa (of Jesus) (McMaster), should make her will before taking her vows. The Maryland law allows a woman to make her will at 18 years of age, but she wishes to consult McMaster before taking such a step. She requests permission to make the will and also wonders if there are any known reasons why a will could not be made at this time. Sister Teresa goes into a retreat on Saturday and since it is desirable that every thing be settled by then, she asks for a prompt reply.

If McMaster thinks it is worth publication the magazine may use it whichever way he pleases, either with the signature of Troy or without it. If McMaster disagress with his remarks about the adultery of married women or thinks the material unsuited for publication, his is entirely at liberty to omit it or to make the necessary changes. Troy's whole purpose is to make the truth known to mankind but stands ready to be guided by McMaster's better judgement.

Joseph Gallagher used the vestments that he says were used by Gallitzin. He and his brother Hugh brought new vestments and that there were no vestments brought to Loretto other than the ones that they brought. His sister Mary (Gallagher) remembers the vestments being taken to Ashland Station by Hugh Gallagher around 1845-47 from Loretto and he told the people they were Gallitzin's. Luke McGuire's sister was delighted at beholding them because they brought back recollections. The vestments worn by Gallitzin are now at St. Michael's Church in Loretto.

Wadhams, E(dgar) P., Bishop of Ogd(ensburg, New York):
Ogdensburg, New York
to James A(lphonsus) McMaster:
(New York, New York)
Mr. Edwin Allen, brother of the judge whom McMaster mentioned, notified Wadhams of Mrs. Carrington's sickness at the Pavilion Hotel, Savannah, Georgia, about 2 weeks before her death. Wadhams wrote Mrs. C(arrington) at once and also wrote one of the clergy of the Cathedral in Savannah, who later informed him that the lady had died after receiving all of the Sacraments. Her remains were brought to Oswego, (New York) by Mr. Allen and she was buried by Father (Michael) Barry brom St. Paul's Church and was interred in St. Paul's Cemetery in Oswego, on Saturday Oct. 22, (1883). Mrs. Carrington gave $1000.00 to the diocese of Ogdensburg to erect the Marble Altar in the Cathedral and also donated other sums for the erection of schools in Ogdensburg and for the missions in the diocese. She had a Mass offered every Friday for her intentions and Wadhams will continue to do this and to have prayers offered for the repose of her soul. Verbal arrangements had been made for Wadhams to bury her but in the end she desired Father Barry to do this. It is not known if she left a will or any property after her death but Wadham's impression is that she held no stationary property or estate but rather enjoyed an annual income from which she donated to the Church all that was in excess of her living expenses. Father Barry may be able to add more information to this. Wadhams has already publicly asked the diocese to pray for this benefactor. The enclosed leaf (not present) will give McMaster some personal information in regards to Wadhams himself. He tore the leaf from the last page of the Diocesan Records of the Clergy of Ogdensburg. A word for word copy of what was written on the first page will be kept with him until the end comes. He sends his Episcopal Blessing and recommends himself to McMaster's prayers. He sends his thanks for McMaster's invitation to visit him in New York and will try and do so. New York is no place to discuss the events which have transpired since they both crossed the threshold of the Gen(eral) Th(eological) Sem(inary) of the E(piscopal) church in 1840. The time spent in the seminary forms one epoch, then all that has followed while McMaster was in New York in another epoch. Wadhams invites McMaster to discuss these points along the sunny banks of the St. Lawrence (River) on any day he may choose to come.

Dorsey, Anna Hanson:
(Washington, District of Columbia)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Dorsey concurs in the writer's opinion about Catholic magazines. Healthy reading combining amusement as well as information and a Catholic spirit without what Bishop (John Joseph) Keane calls sentimental piety is what a person in the Church needs. When Dorsey published her second story after becoming a Catholic, (Orestes) Brownson criticized it as being a Catholic outline filled up with Protestant commonplace writing. Dorsey sent the review to Father Louis R. Deluol, Superior of St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, who had received her into the Church, for a word of consolation. It came in a very humourous form. Dorsey's next story, "The Sister of Charity" was praised by Brownson. Father-General (Edward Sorin) is mistaken; when she wrote "Zoe's Daughter" it was with the understanding it was to be put in book form for her benefit after appearing in the Ave Maria. The same agreement was made for Flammingo, which Sorin knowing nothing about since he was in Europe, frustrated by turning over the right to publish to O'Shea.

Strict secrecy is maintained, hence all newspaper reports are in error.

The article Lambing has in the course of preparation is on the publication of the Banns of Matrimony. Lambing has tried to write a brief account of the routes of the early French missionaries and explorers to the Far West and the Mississippi Valley and at the same time show that these discoveries were made by missionaries or at least Catholics. He does not think it will encroach on the ground which (John G.) Shea wishes to cover. Lambing will have a photograph taken and send one to Hudson. Their mutual friend Father (P. F.)

Edes, Ella B.:
Rome, (Italy)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Edes sends the pamphlet and some counter articles that appeared in "IL Buon Giovinotto". It is with humility that Edes learns that she is listed among the American Catholic Writers. Such an honor is not in accord when the efforts of such writers as (Eliza Allen) Starr and (Eleanor) Donnelly are considered. Arthur (Stace) ought to stick to his pen and forget about composing music. A priest brought a letter of introduction to Edes and explained that he was suspended by Bishop O'Connor. Edes urged him to tell his story only to those obliged to hear it. She asks Hudson's advice on the matter. She sends an article for Christmas; and hopes to gather all her articles and publish them in book form. Edes has done much translating for Monsignor Jacobin who directs the press; among the papers were (John G.) Shea's articles in the "National Republican".

Dunne lists three of these sections and their prices. He will write Clarke after the first rush about land.

Dallas, A(lexander) I.:
Washington, D(istrict of) C(olumbia)
to Rich(ar)d H. Clarke:
(New York, New York)
The Catholic colony of San Antonio, Florida is and will be a success. Judge (Edmund F.) Dunne has apparently lost the confidence of the colonists to a great measure, by a course that implied the latent intention of making money at the expense of the Catholic idea. Dunne has some peculiar ideas. He never gave up any powers to manage its affairs autocratically. The colonists, mostly poor men, had gone to Florida resting on the confidence of Dunne's published letters and a pamphlet. They claim his promises have not been carried out and that not being able to buy land from Dunne as agent of the Fl(orid)a Land & Imp(rovement) Co.-Disston Land, they have been pushed out on to "Railroad land." This is true of some who purchased land. Dallas feels Dunne desired to perform an impossible feat of establishing a colony of wealthy Catholics. To date over 30 families of 180 or more souls have made their homes on the proposed site of the town, all poor men. Dallas found much discontent and his correspondence indicates that. The colonists are moving on the matter, proposing that Dunne open the land to actual settlers. These complaints were published in the Washington Catholic by John P. Simonton causing a considerable quantity of $2.50 per acre land to be placed on the market, which is being rapidly taken up. Dallas has not met Dunne and is personally glad he purchased land 3 miles from the town. He is confident Dunne will do the right thing. The town site is in the woods and with no streets marked out. He describes the church, for which the Bishop has promised a priest, and the existing town and its location. Dallas lists the different prices of land and climate, soil and health conditions. Dallas is going to San Antonio with his family in the winter. There are no boarding houses but John P. Mullan makes boarding arrangements in advance. Dallas thinks that if Clarke asks about the colony with a view to investing, it would be a good place to make a home, but that Clarke should visit it first. Dallas will be glad to help. The chance of cheap land will vanish in a few years. Dunne thinks Dallas is not satisfied with him and he is correct. Dallas asks that this letter be kept confidential. Dallas has no children of his own but has adopted 2 daughters left by Carrie on her death. Kate, who married Mr. Steele has two children. His father-in-law still lives. Judge Dunne has not been at the colony until a few days ago.

Ryder describes Hudson as one who is always his friend. The way to Heaven is hard; God doesn't make it easy but the Devil tries to make people comfortable. Ryder's agony is terrible when he thinks of his wife and child. A few lines by Mr. Samuel H. Derby are written and submitted to the Ave Maria. Promises are difficult to keep if one does not have the will to keep them, so Ryder will not promise Hudson that he will retrain from drinking whiskey, but he will ask God to give him strength to resist the temptation.
