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

Enclosed are circulars received from Father (Ralph) Dewey, S.J., which are not for publication, but which may prove worth reading. Dewey is about to issue a new pamphlet concerning the new shrine and for the purpose of erecting a church at Auriesville, (New York). Father (Joseph) Loyzance, S.J., is acting treasurer of the fund.

(Fitzgerald, R.S.M.), Sister Angela M.J.: New Haven, Conn(ecticut)
to Rich(ard) H(enry) Clarke: (New York, New York)

Sister can find no letters of Bishop (Francis P.) McFarland of use to Clarke. She had sent many of McFarland's letters and some of those to him from other Bishops, to a lady who undertook to write his life, but failed. The letters were never returned. She had a short sketch of the Bishop's life. Sister tells of the Bishop's kindnesses to the Sisters of Mercy. Their parent house is the convent McFarland built for the Sisters while Mother Pauline Xavier Maher was Superior. Bishop (Thomas) Galberry seemed to resemble McFarland's saintly life. Sister encloses (no enclosure) a sketch of Galberry's life. Father (Michael) Tierney knew Bishop McFarland well and could tell Clarke much.

R(yder), E(liot): Chicago, (Illinois)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

On Sunday Ryder had a chat with Father (Joseph) Roles of St. Mary's Church. If Mrs. Ryder should happen to write to Hudson as she threatens to do, Ryder asks Hudson to form no rash judgement that would injure their friendship because of what she may say in her epistle. Mrs. Ryder has a strange way of telling the truth that makes it misleading.

Sestini, S.J., Father B(enedict): Woodstock, (Maryland)
to (Richard Henry) Clarke: (New York, New York)

Sestini cannot find the detailed biographical account of (Bishop John) Miege, (S.J.) written at Woodstock. Father (Aloysius) Curioz, (S.J.) could give a good account. The first time Sestini saw Miege was in 1844 at Rome where he and Curioz went through a course of theology. These two were ordained in 1847 and with everyone else were forced to leave Rome by the Revolution in 1848. Sestini with Father De Vico went to France where they met Miege and Curioz in Marseilles. Miege intended to come to the Rocky Mountains in America. Curioz went to the Missions of Louisiana where he has remained. Miege went first to St. Louis before going to the Rocky Mountains. To his great disappointment he was appointed Vicar Apostolic in 1851 for the territory between the States and the Rocky Mountains. The responsibility of the change and a desire for an obscure life and not certainly the apprehension of a life of labor, was the cause of his disturbance. St. Mary's in Kansas was his first residence which in 1855 was transferred to Leavenworth where he found only seven Catholic families. After building a Cathedral at Leavenworth and an episcopal residence, he petitioned the Holy See and a successor was named for him. Miege then traveled through South America and with the aid of the faithful was able to liquidate his debts. Miege retired as a simple Jesuit to St. Louis University and shortly after to Woodstock. In the spring of 1883 he was prostrated by paralysis and he died a year later.

Most of them are preparing for the Sacraments. She wishes that he would send her some sprigs of mistletoe and holly.

Higgins, John: Castlebar, Ireland
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Higgins was delighted to receive the Ave Maria, but disappointed to learn that the Knock Letters cannot be published in the Ave Maria. Higgins intends to write to Archdeacon (B.) Cavanagh suggesting that he correspond with Hudson, to make known the attitude of the Irish clergy and hierarchy concerning Knock. He believes he sent Hudson a copy of the letter of Bishop Murphy of Hobart, Tasmania. In August, 1882, the letter of Bishop (John J.) Lynch of Toronto, advocating Knock to the Canadian Bishops, was published in the Dublin Freeman's Journal. Lynch also sent one of his priests to Knock with a banner. Archbishop John MacEvilly of Tuam has held aloof. The Archbishops of Tuam and Toronto are not friends, so that Lynch's advocacy of Knock has done no good with local authorities. Higgins intends to get Archdeacon Cavanagh to copy the entire correspondence from the persons who profess to have been cured at Knock and send it to Hudson.

Edes, E(lla) B.: Rome, (Italy)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan): (New York, New York)

Edes thought it just as well not to answer (Corrigan)'s last two letters while he was in Baltimore. She made a row over that "German panegyrical article" in the Osservatore both to Jacobinetto (Msgr. Dominic Jacobini) and the editors. By means of statistics in (Corrigan)'s letter and others procured from Father Dougherty and the directory, Edes wrote the article in the Osservatore. She insisted it should print the retraction. The article was presented by a most excellent German religious here, not in Baltimore. Edes concludes it was one of the C.SS.R.'s from Villa Caserta. Edes does not think they will try it again. She expatiated on the stupidity of accepting information on America from people who knew nothing of it and who injured the cause in America by thus insulting the Irish element. Edes has them all in a proper state of terror. Edes was assured that they have a proper dread of the Cardinal (McCloskey) and (Corrigan). The secretary begged her to draw up something about the Council so she did what she could. The Marquis Crispolti, editor of the Osservatore, came to ask Edes' opinion about inserting a "sunto" of the Cooper Institute meeting. He remembered the row Edes made over the article inserted by (Ulysses) Mori which caused him to refuse any further dealings with that individual. Edes gave him a synopsis of (Corrigan)'s sermon at the Requiem Mass. Edes is waiting for the Catholic Mirror. She is doubtful of the report of the New York Herald, the only one publishing any sort of text of the decrees promulgated. Edes cannot get along so fast as when younger. (Corrigan) should not fail to send Propaganda an early copy of Pamphlet III of Father (Patrick) Corrigan. Jacobinetto said they would finally settle him and Edes will help them. Bishop (Dominic) Manucy gives up Mobile and returns to Brownsville. There are too many debts and too little money to meet them. Father (Augustine J.) Schulte keeps Corrigan posted about the College. Msgr. (Ubaldo) Ubaldi is very ill. They talk of removing a rib because of come fearful abscess. Poor ( ) O'Leary is pronounced hopeless with Bright's disease. They are all trying to get Ubaldi out of the College and put in one of their old Italians. Schulte is fighting hard over it. They tried the same game under Msgr. (Louis E.) Hostlot who would not hear of it. Ubaldi would be a great loss to the College. Edes believes the new Commissary Apostolic for Canada will be their friend Msgr. (Louis) Sepiacci who will be near enough to pounce on (Corrigan) in the U.S., if required. Is it not stupid to send another to further muddle matters. There are many remarks here made over the fact that none of the sermons to be delivered before the Council is on "The Pope," and also the presence as visitor of Bishop (Timothy) O'Mahoney of Toronto who they say should keep quiet and stay out of sight. The pamphlet with Bishop (John Lancaster) Spalding's sermon has just arrived. Edes hopes the Delegate Apostolic will appreciate the compliment Edes paid him in No. I. Miss Sedgwick always muddles things. Miss Metcalf is with her this winter. Miss Dana sends enthusiastic postals from Baltimore. What a disgraceful speculation that of the Catholic Mirror. Anyone can see that the illustrations are those of the Second Council. Edes had a long letter from Msgr. (Benjamin) Cavicchioni. He is terribly lonely and does not admire especially the Secretary. He sends regards to (Corrigan) and Bishop McQuaid. (Enclosed in her handwriting is a passage about the Germans in Italian).

Le Prohom, E. P., Vice-consul of France for the State of Maine: Portland, Maine
to (James F.) Edwards: Notre Dame, Indiana

He was much surprised to learn from the Catholic Review that an oil painting of the late Bishop William Tyler, first Bishop of Hartford, was to be seen at Notre Dame. It seems improbable that the features of the saintly bishop could be painted by one who never saw him. LeProhon attended the bishop for many years and was much impressed with his dignity. He would like to know the appearance of the bishop in the new picture.

Manogue, P(atrick), Bishop of Grass Valley: Baltimore, (Maryland)
to John Gilmary Shea: (Elizabeth, New Jersey)

Manogue has no recollection of the letter referred to. No doubt it is among his letters in Virginia City, Nevada, where he lived for 22 years. On account of travelling considerably through the northern portions of the diocese many letters were misplaced. The few lines accompanying are a brief synopsis; he also encloses a photograph (no enclosures).

to (James Alphonsus McMaster): New York, New York

It has been a week since (Sister) (Ger)trude has written (McMaster) but they are that nearer Heaven. (Maurice Francis) Egan gave a very good report of him in everyway. She thinks he enjoyed his visit very much. They began the Novena to the Holy Face for Mrs. Egan's eye. Father Ben(jamin Keiley) has been good in coming to say Mass for them. She received a letter from Mother Walburga written from Lincoln. She wonders if Mrs. Keiley will come with the boys on Sunday. She cannot write more as she wants to visit the dear Lord.

De Pauw, (Father) Edmund M.: Chateaugay, N(ew) Y(ork)
to (James Alphonsus) McMaster: (New York, New York)

(Father) De Pauw asks McMaster to send him two cloth copies and one six-dollar copy of "Pilgrims and Shrines". He says it is very considerate and charitable of McMaster to help Miss (Eliza Allen) Starr. He would like the rules for establishing the Holy Name Society. Following Rome's example they recite the Praises to the Holy Name after every service, but the vice of cursing is not decreasing. He wonders if McMaster is not too severe in the matter of mixed marriages. He does not desire to encourage any and for the last four years had none, although two couples went to Protestant ministers. A bishop can dispense in nearly all matters of discipline, suspending for his diocese the decrees of the provincial or plenary council, and derogating to the general laws of the Church, for special reasons, in matters of rites and ceremonies. The matter under discussion comes under this head. When he used to read the London "Weekly Register" it seemed to him Cardinal Wiseman and Cardinal Manning themselves had performed mixed marriages. He is not certain of his memory, but does not think himself mistaken. Perhaps they had special faculties. But does not McMaster think the matter should be left in the hands of the Metropolitan, and that it is an insult to episcopal dignity to drag such transactions before the public. He says this in all confidence and charity. He wishes McMaster a happy Christmas.

(Sister) Teresa wishes (McMaster) a happy feast of the Blessed Lady. They chant the first Vespers of the feast this afternoon. (Maurice Francis) Egan told her (McMaster) was looking better since his last visit. The nuns consider (McMaster) the Father of the Community. (Sister's) Mary and Martha especially like to hear him talk. (Sister) Teresa says (Ger)trud(e) has a beautiful disposition for the Community life. If he could have a peep at Jennie once in a while he could see how nicely she does. He can however meet her often in the Sacred Heart as he has said so many times. All Carmel send their love.

Middleton, O.S.A., Father Thomas C.: Villanova, Penn(sylvani)a
to Richard H(enry) Clarke: N(ew) York, (New York)

Middleton sent some items on Bishop (Thomas) Galberry, (O.S.A.), and can vouch for their accuracy. The Bishop's niece, Sister Stephen, can no doubt give ample details on his ante-collegiate life or get some information from her mother, the Bishop's sister, who lives near Philadelphia. Middleton refrains from giving any details about the Bishop's epicsopal actions expect those of common fame for two reasons which he lists. Such information could be had from several sources especially Judge (Thomas) McManus. Middleton wrote an article on Galberry in the "Converted Catholic" which Galberry founded. He gives some information on the "first" Bishop of Savannah, Bishop John Possidius O'Dwyer, O.S.A., who was dead when appointed. Francis Xavier Gartland was really the second bishop. He thanks Clarke for an invitation to attend the first meeting of the U(nited) S(tates) Hist(orical) Society but he is unable to attend as a member of the first Catholic Historical Society. He congratulates Clarke. He advises Clarke on the policies of the Society.

(Sister) S(ain)t John says she was very stupid not to send the address of the Convent in Avoca, Minnesota. She thanks him for the flannel. The adopted daughter of Mr. Henweed was professed today by the vicar-general. Mother reached home on the 5th and she was given the deed for the property in Lincoln by Mr. Fitzgerald. Everyone enjoyed the full length photo of Gertrude received in (Sister) S(ain)t John's last letter. She wishes he would write to either M(o)th(er) Blandina or M(o)th(er) S(ain)t Anthony to warn of the parcel. His letter was received and it was nice of him to have the Masses said. For the last few days, she has been able to sit up with little inconvenience. With Gertrude away, she feels sorry for Pho (Jack).

Fitzpatrick, S.J., (Father) P(eter) P.: New York, (New York)
to (James Alphonsus) McMaster: (New York, New York)

(Father) Fitzpatrick says he would have written sooner, but he wished to see Father (Emil) de Augustinis, (S.J.) before writing, to make known Mc Master's request. He met him Sunday. (Dec. 7), and reports that Father de Augustinis will be happy to do a favor for McMaster and his daughter, S(iste)r St. John. Father de Augustinis and F(athe)r (Alois) Sabetti (S.H.) will share the intention; McMaster and his will be remembered by them and theirs. He has been asked by the Father Provincial to help out in the mission being conducted at Holy Innocent's, since the work in Baltimore is light, and since F(athe)r (Bernard A.) Maguire, (S.J.) is "hor de combat" in Boston. F(athe)r (August) Langcake (S.J.) has charge of the mission band which should be six but is only five. (Father) Fitzpatrick hopes before returning to Loyola on the 20th or 21st to see Mc Master in his office. Gertrude and Helen send greetings by him. P.S. He appreciates McMaster's kind gift of the "Freeman" for two years. F(athe)r (W.F.) Clarke, (S.J.) was alone able to read it until now, but now all may read it. Several share the distinction of liking expressed by F(athe)r Smith; (Father) Fitzpatrick hopes all will realize the hope expressed by McMaster for (Father) Smith.

MacDonnell, Sister M(ary) Magdalene: (Lisbon, Portugal)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Sister sends Hudson Christmas Greetings. The trashy literature of the world serves to remind Sister of the necessity for a Catholic press. There is a serial, The Young Lady's Journal, which has an enormous circulation but its stories are trashy. A feature of the magazine which makes it popular is the work patterns. Sister is pleased to learn that Hudson liked the article she sent him. On behalf of a friend, she asks for the names of some American Catholic Journals that are looking for literary contributions and will pay for them. Father Guidi has returned from his travels in Germany and the Tyrol. Guidi's book is on the press and Sister promises to send Hudson a copy.

Enzlberger, (Father) J.N.: Piopolis, Hamilton Co(unty), Ill(inoi)s
to James A(lphonsus) McMaster: New York, N(ew) Y(ork)

(Father) Enzlberger, editor of the German paper "Gloke", thanks McMaster for his fight against balls and dances, which have prevailed three different times in the German congregation of which he is pastor. He thanks God that his Bishop (Peter Joseph Baltes, Bishop of Alton) is determined to stamp out the evils, for in his congregation he he has found out what dancing means. McMaster's work in exposing the St. Agnes Scandal has opened the eyes of honest Catholics. (Father) Enzlberger would like to call McMaster's attention to another dark point—the absence of parochial schools, and recognizes the fact that McMaster is fighting for them. The German Catholic papers also are fighting for them in all earnestness. In the Linzer Theologisch-praktische Quartalschrift", of Linz, Austria, which is now read by 4500 priests, in the "Herald des Glaubens" of St. Louis, No., and in his own paper, "Glocke", of Evansville, Indiana, he has tried to promote the interests of Catholic parochial schools. He does not care much for "Acadamies". He has been asked by a priest in St. Louis to furnish, for publication before the coming Plenary Council, material concerning (1) the absence of Cath(olic) parochial schools in large Eastern cities, and (2) the loss of the church on account of this evil. Having collected some statistical material from the "Herald des Glaubens", taken from Sadlier's (Catholic) Directory of 1883 but being unacquainted with the East, he asks McMaster to publish in his paper statsitics and reports on congregations where parochial schools exist, for he has seen the reports McMaster published about the "famous St. Stephen's Congregation, and would like a list of those poor and sinful congregations in the East who are sending their children to hell via public schools. If McMaster can grant his petition, he will try to circulate it in the German press. It is not a question of nationality or section; rather he believes Archbishop (Martin John) Spalding (of Baltimore) is correct in saying, "A school-house ought to be built before a Church", and believes Archbishop (Michael) Heiss (of Milwaukee) is correct in saying. "The school question is the question of life for our church in America". He apoligizes for his broken English, and explains he has been too busy to improve it.

The assertions that the Catholics of Maryland as a body were wanting in liberality in their gifts to charitable and religious purposes are unjust and unfounded. The diocese of Baltimore supports more institutions of charity and religion in proportion to population than any other diocese of the country. Gibbons is glad to hear Clarke will refute the charges. Gibbons regrets that he is too busy to aid Clarke on the life of Archbishop (James R.) Bayley but he could help him if he came to Baltimore. P.S.

He is seeing quite a bit of the world; she asks him for his impressions of Canada and New England. He is asked to greet the Vallettes and Mrs. Cullen.

(Sister) Teresa hopes that (McMaster) is overflowing with holy peace and love this Christmas. She greatly appreciated the nice box and in return he will receive a spiritual box from all of Carmel. The scapular she made for him is just like the one the Sisters wear at night and is from the same material as the holy Habit. (Ger)trude is remaining well and happy. P.S. The Mother will have the scapular blessed before sending it.

Starr, Eliza Allen: (Chicago, Illinois)
to (James Alphonsus) McMaster: (New York, New York)

She was ready to wrap up the enclosed photographs for McMaster and (Maurice Francis) Egan when the express package arrived. She has seldom in her life received such a package, and when she opened it and saw the $100.00 in banknotes she did not know what to say. They have sold so many other (copies) for her, that the courage it gives her by helping her to throw off her debts is untold. She must leave it to God to reward her benefactors. She will not fail to remember what McMaster says of "Carmel"; God must have blessed him in the vocation of his daughters. They agree about the word "worship", she has only avoided using it because too few people know its good old English meaning, but she was content when she found the correction was made by McMaster himself. She asks to be remembered to the Sisters at Carmel. Christmas greetings to McMaster and Egan. To this is added a note dated (?) :She has received a telegram from Dr. W(illia)m T. Rowsey, an old (Freeman's Journal) reader, asking her to forward 20 sets of "Pilgrims and Shrines". She has them already boxed and ready for tomorrow's express, for the telegram met her on coming in with her nephew from a housewarming, and without five minutes delay he found a box which contained a bust of Bishop Foly, and is now hammering up the box. She has come across an old notice of her classes; McMaster is like an old friend to her. Not another journalist could have done what McMaster did for her—he would have found much pleasure in Dr. Rowsey's letter to her.

Gilmour, Bishop R(ichard): Cleveland, O(hio)
to Ric(har)d H(enry) Clarke: (New York, New York)

Enclosed was Father (P.F.) Quigley's and B(ishop) (Louis Joseph) De Goesbriand's testimony as to the willingness of the Holy See to give Bishop (Louis Amadeus) Rappe another see or other honors after he had resigned the see of Cleveland. Gilmour sees no reason to expose the name of these two men in using the papers. In the testimony no particular see was mentioned only the willingness to give a see. Gilmour thinks the evidence is positive and no more need be said. He wants the documents returned after they are used carefully to prevent any ill feeling among the living over that sad and painful epoch in the history of the diocese. He is quite willing to come and confer with Clarke on the matter.

Quigley, Father P.F.: Cleveland, O(hio)
to R(ichard) H(enry) Clarke: New York, (New York)

In answer to Clarke's of Dec. 21, he says that Bishop Rappe's status in Rome was higher than Clarke intimates after the Bishop's resignation. But by his own action, no formal appointment was ever made after Rappe's resignation. Quigley is so occupied at the moment it is not possible for him to make the statement he should make about that very grave affair. But in the near future he hopes to be able to do it. (The other enclosure is not present.)

Because of his many duties McManus cannot aid in furnishing any sketch of the history of the life of the sainted Bishop (Francis) McFarland. He regrets this because he knew the bishop so well the last two years of his life. McManus understands the Sisters of Mercy have prepared a record of McFarland's early and also his late history.

They made a plum pudding using real butter, which he will taste when he visits. She remarks how wonderful the Christmas Office is and tells of the childlike customs of this season. P.S. She does not want him to think she means the customs foolish but only that the meaning was to be found at the crib.

(Sister) S(ain)t John tells (McMaster) that the Sister who opened the demijohn broke up the boxes. She does not want him to send any more wine not only because of the expense but also because she will only be too glad to stop taking it. The Mother gave her permission to go to Mass as she is feeling better. She would like S(iste)r Gertrude and Sister Teresa to know this retreat will not be over until Thursday so she hopes he will wait until then to visit. The oranges and nuts arrived but she wanted him to send the flannel to Avoca instead. She received a letter from (Sister) Gertrude on Christmas Eve. She suspects the cake came from Mrs. Keiley as McMaster was after her name on the box. P.S. She asks him not to send wine.

to Richard H(enry) Clarke: (New York, New York)

McCormick has often admired Clarke's historical and critical sketches in the Catholic World. He never knew Clarke's address until he saw it recently attached to a call for a historical society in New York. Knowing Clarke's historical interest, McCormick takes the liberty of sending Clarke a copy of his "History of the Catholic Church in Trenton". It was a crude sketch intended to provoke criticism before its appearance as a book. This it has done and the completed work will bring up local history to the present day. McCormick hopes it will be worthy of Clarke's perusal.

Seymour ought to have spoken of St. John of Nepomuk more at length. She does not think it improves one's Catholicity to dwell in Bohemia. Seymour knows her descriptions sun guide-booky. She has been asked lately to write some more Sunday School books. Half the church people believe her still in the Church of England. What would be the harm of protestantizing her "Muriel and Stella" enough for Anglicans? The inconsistencies of the Catholic literature business provoke Seymour.
