Lambing, Father A(ndrew) A.:
Pittsburg(h), P(ennsylvani)a
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
On last Sunday they organized the Ohio Valley Catholic Historical and Antiquarian Society. Lambing was elected president. His Researches go off slowly. (John Gilmary) Shea and (Richard H.) Clarke made a mistake in putting the membership of the American Catholic Historical Society so high. There is not sufficient literary ability at the head of the society in Philadelphia. Their circular is no credit. Lambing has a nephew, fifteen and a half, with him studying for the Church. His brother, (Father Michael Lambing) remains at Scottdale. Lambing is writing to the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda on the subject of "dirty advertisements" in Catholic papers. He wrote the Archbishop of Baltimore last May on the same subject.

Mahan has been in New Orleans and the letter did not reach him until today. He will be in Washington for a time and Ford can get in touch with him there. It is possible that the housekeeper confused Patrick Ford with his nephew, (Austin E. Ford) who called on him during the campaign.

Santa Clara is a lovely spot. The Franciscans established a mission there a century ago and the church is in a good state of preservation. If he can make those who dwell in the midst of this beautiful valley love Him who is the Author of it all, Riordan will be content.

McCormick, John D.:
Trenton, N(ew) J(ersey)
to (Richard) H(enry) Clarke:
(New York, New York)
McCormick acknowledges Clarke's card of Feb. 16. His article in the Emporium is the only one he has published on that subject. He intends to write up the local church history bringing it to the present. It will be issued in book form. The article in Clark's possession was intended to create a taste for local history and draw out the criticism of the older inhabitants in Trenton. In this it was successful and a recovering of the ground will see much new material added and mistakes corrected. McCormick found several mistakes in early local history. This is a fair sample of how Catholic history was treated when left to his opponents. The local historian must be at his post if the general historian is to do justice to his subject. Hence it is a cheering sign to see Catholic Historical Societies springing into existence in the large cities to preserve the records of Catholic pioneers. The State Library is in Trenton with a large collection of Colonial records and books not easily found elsewhere. McCormick also has access to the Secretary of State's office with its wealth of old original documents. McCormick offers to consult any of these documents or books that members of Clarke's society might be interested in. McCormick will try to get his book published this year. In May, 1886. Vicar General Father (Anthony) Smith will be 25 years in Trenton. If no one else makes the event notable. McGovern will by placing his book in the hands of the people. They will better be able to appreciate the great development of Trenton. If Clarke will send him circular on the U(nited) S(tates) C(atholic) H(istorical) S(ociety). McCormick will think over becoming a member.

Since he has been at St. Mary's in Fort Wayne, Father John Oechtering has been envied by every one because he succeeded so well with his congregation.

Dorsey, Anna Hanson:
(Washington, District of Columbia)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
After reading Hudson's letter Dorsey wondered if something she had said about Christian Reid had betrayed jealousy of her success. This was not intended. Dorsey's role as a story writer is unassailable. Yet she has found that theological arguments introduced into her stories prevent success. The clergy do not approve of it. Reid's story now in progress is clever. Dorsey is sorry to see anything of bitterness and condemnation against "our separated brethren" as Bishop (John) England termed those outside the Church. (Eliza Allen) Starr's "Pilgrims and Shrines" made Dorsey feel as though she were in Rome. She was glad to see the favorable notices that appeared in the English Press of Starr's work. The book "Atlantis" by Ignatius Donnelly provided interesting reading. Dorsey makes a detailed comparison between the religious rites of the Greeks and the Zuni Indians. According to Frank Cushing the Zuni are not like the American aborigine, their faces, customs and habits show them to be a higher type, while their language has many similarities to the Greek. Dorsey will send an account of Pope Leo XIII's chalice. There is talk of a "Catholic University of America" being established in Washington. Dorsey feels that the site selected is not good because it is too near the nation's capital and the ignorant and bigot ed will charge that the Pope is preparing to take possession of the country. She feels that President (Grover) Cleveland, who is to be inaugurated shortly, will not allow himself to be manipulated by politicians, but will firmly uphold the Civil Service Law.
