McMaster encloses a letter which Major (John J.) Keiley received from Major ( ) Knox, General Freight Agent at Nashville, (Tennessee).

Farley, J(ohn) M. and Donnelly, Arthur J.:
New York, (New York)
The accompanying circular of Dr. John Gilmary Shea refers to a movement commenced in this city immediately after the close of the late Plenary Council, to enable him to publish a history of the Catholic Church of the United States. Among the originators and supporters are Cardinal (John) McCloskey, Archbishops (James) Gibbons, (John J.) Williams, (Patrick J.) Ryan, and (Michael A.) Corrigan, several of the Bishops, indeed all to whom the matter has been submitted, and many of the Rectors and lay gentlemen of this city. A committee appointed to carry this out consists of Corrigan, Monsignors (William) Quinn, (Thomas S.) Preston, Fathers McSweeny and Burtsell. Father (John M.) Farley is Secretary, Father Arthur J. Donnelly, Treasurer.
Enclosure:1885 Mar.
Shea, John Gilmary:
Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
Most of the leisure hours of Shea's life and much of his means have been devoted to studies bearing on the early and actual history of the Church in this country. It has been the purpose of his life to write this history, hoping that the evening of his days would give him the means and leisure. He has maintained himself by literary labor comfortably, but no more; and year by year his leisure has been required by work needed for his support. Recently some of the Archbishops and Bishops, with several of the clergy have debated on the best means of securing him the necessary leisure, and of completing his collections. Shea proposes to follow the plan adopted by the Abbé Migne with his Patrologia. The History will form five large volumes, each to be complete and independent in itself, the whole series forming a consecutive and complete narrative. The volumes are to be issued at intervals, the first on or before May 1, 1886 and the last to appear in not more than five years from May 1, 1885. The plan will be that each subscriber shall pay the subscription price of the first volume on or before May 1, 1885 and that as the subsequent volumes are delivered a similar payment shall be made. Each patron subscribing $50 annually will receive twenty sets of the work.

(O'Meara, Kathleen):
Paris, (France)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
O'Meara meant to send Hudson a short sketch for Easter but was unable to do so. She placed Hudson's name in the book of prayers in the Sacristy of Notre Dame des Victoires. France is in the ridiculous situation of begging for a mountebank to govern her and no one has been found brave enough to govern her. An Orleanist monarchy would be an improvement, but it would not last any more than Louis Philippe's government. The Catholics have no confidence in the Comte de Paris. Joseph Cardinal Guibert has been at the point of death.

New York, (New York)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
Edwards' last letter, relative to photograph, accomplished what twenty years of request by Clarke's own family had failed to do. Edwards' request for Clarke's photograph got out at home, and he surrendered to requests from his family as well as from publishers and others. Clarke send the requested photograph for Notre Dame.

(Gallagher), John (J.):
New York, (New York)
to J(ohn Alphonsus McMaster):
Jackson, Miss.
John's letters and telegram have been received, and Gallagher was thunderstruck when he heard that John had sent $100. John's father was well pleased with the telegram. Gallagher has at last struck a typewriter, an old machine that writes a nice letter, however, and just suits him, although he paid only $35. for it. This is the first letter he has written on it. They have had some pleasant weather but generally it has been bad. John might forego his crusade against feminine hearts long enough to write a letter to Joe Keiley, who drops in occasionally, and who was not surprised to hear that John was having a good time in Richmond. All the folks are well. Cain and Black Tom are aware of John's absence. P.S. When John remits, he should be careful not to leave himself short (of funds).

Griffin, Martin I. J.:
Philadelphia, (Pennsylvania)
to (James F. Edwards:

What business has his picture in a gallery for eminent Catholic writers? His picture would lessen the value of the collection. He is simply one who loves his Church and has tried to gather up the records and traditions of the Church in his native city.

John's telegram was received. McMaster wanted to send some letters, and he is sending some photographs in a separate package to Jackson. John is asked if he received the letters addressed to Memphis, and if he received the letter of introduction to Mr. Fitzwilliam of New Orleans, to whom all of John's letters to New Orleans will be sent. McMaster had a nice visit at Carmel, and was present when Archbishop (Patrick J.) Ryan received the final vows of Sister, now Mother, St. John (McMaster, S.H.C.J.) She asked about him, as did his other sisters. Jack Keiley received John's letter. McMaster is in good health but misses John. P.S. John is asked to keep McMaster informed of his whereabouts.

(Gallagher), John (J.):
New York, (New York)
to J(ohn Alphonsus McMaster):
N(ew) Orleans, La.
Because John is going directly to New Orleans from Jackson (Mississippi), Gallagher is sending this letter directly to New Orleans. There is no reason why W(illia)m Archard of Memphis (Tennessee) should not have received his paper, and he probably invented the story in order to dodge payment. Gallagher will write Archard as John suggests. The (former agent) (Bert L.) Dempsey received the pass from Col. E.D. Frost, Natchez, Miss. All the folks are well, and the typewriter is working immensely. Gallagher will send some paper by this mail. If John does not receive the photos his father sent, he should write to Jackson for them. (P.S.) There is nothing from T. or elsewhere as yet. It is just as well John dropped T.D. Egan's affair, for there was nothing in it. (The following is written by hand): Gallagher is writing on this paper because no other will fit his typewriter. He is getting some noteheads printed.

She is sorry he finds no chance to write his friends, and would have written sooner herself, but she has had a little hospital here since St. Joseph's day. (She tells him about the health and activities of her family and friends.) John (J. Keiley?) allowed her to enjoy John's letter. She will try to remind him to write, but she is growing old and may forget. Minister (Anthony) Keiley is to sail for Italy on (April 29, (1885), and there is a hissing tempest (about the appointment), just as (James Alphonsus McMaster) predicted there would be. He (McMaster) is in good health, probably because he has been seeing his daughters more often, giving himself no time to pine. She hopes John will have a good time in New Orleans, and gives him the name of a friend to look up there, who will probably remember her (maiden) name, Helen Turner (?). She also had some Confederate friends, but has forgotten their names. Her family is all asleep now, and she has no more messages. In the morning she must give this to John's father to be forwarded to him.

Can Edwards help get volumes 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, and 17 of the Freeman's Journal? P.S. He would be delighted to visit Notre Dame. He has been compelled to resign the presidency of the U. S. Catholic Historical Society as he felt the necessity of not endangering his health by undertaking too much. Would Father Hudson send Clarke the copy of the Ave Maria which contained the account of Father John Mayer's conversion?

John should not waste time in New Orleans, since it is very expensive to stay there at present, but after seeing what is worth while, he should leave. Sunday is the feast of the Patronage of St. Joseph, which John is asked to observe. McMaster asks John to keep him or the office posted as to where a letter can reach him. He is asked especially to tell him where he can be reached on (April 30, 1885).

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Dallas has never been so disappointed in any man as he has been in Edmund F. Dunne. When he first arrived at San Antonio, he found the colony bitter against Dunne for keeping his lands out of the market and forcing newcomers to take up railroad lands. Dallas purchased his land from Lewis Reilly, former editor of the Mirror, and boarded his family with Mr. Mullan when he brought them here in January, 1884. Against Mullan, Dunne has bitter animosity. In time, Dallas determined to leave the colony, but Dunne begged him to remain and gave him a lot. Bishop (John) Moore of St. Augustine sent Father Stenzel to establish a parish and build a school. Dunne treated Stenzel with disrespect and prevented Stenzel from building a school. Stenzel was relieved by Moore at his own request and Father (J. F.) O'Boyle was sent to replace him. In the dispute which has grown up between Dunne and Dallas, O'Royle has sided with Dunne and Dallas writes Hudson for advice.

The day the bishop preached at Sister Aloysius' funeral he said he intended to go to N(ew) Y(ork) at the end of this week.

to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
(New York, New York)
Two letters were received from (McMaster) in a week. (Sister) S(aint) John knows what a good father he is to give her the greatest of delights — that of a life in religion. Although she has had physical pain, God has let her feel its value. The Bible and tomatoes arrived and she read the 35th Chapter this morning. Mother de Borzia, the Sister with consumption, was annointed and will probably go home soon. (Sister) Saint John is reading Pere Surin's "Fundemento de la Vie Spirituelle" which she likes very much.

John's father having told Gallagher the contents of John's letter, Gallagher writes to acknowledge the letters he has received. He did not expect John to do any canvassing in New Orleans, it is enough if he holds the subscribers they already have. He hopes John's visit was pleasant and that he enjoyed his visits to the exposition. In New York all are well, and Joe Keiley still expects a letter. Gallagher intended no Sarcasm when he sent so many sub(scription) blanks.

Her departed brother's hair (Bishop Francis X. Gartland of Savannah) was dark brown; his eyes she thinks green. It is strange she has four sons and cannot tell the color of their eyes.
