Carrier, C.S.C., Father Joseph C.:
St. Laurent, Montreal, Canada
to James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
The "Bishops' Hall" is a most praiseworthy idea if carried out to completeness. He suggests that it should contain all the bishops of the whole American continent. He sends a photograph of Bishop Vital Grandiu of St. Albert, Saskatchewa Territory and one of Bishop Charles-Auguste de Forbin-Janson of Nancy and Toul, France who was a kind of missionary in this country. He sends a rare lithograph of all the bishops of Canada up to the year 1875, besides portraits of founders of religious institutions in Canada. The author of this Tableau is Monsignor Joseph Marquis, a great artist. Carrier is greatly rejoiced to hear that Edwards is going to erect a separate building for the library. By all means make it fireproof. Edwards should make the library large enough to contain 150,000 volumes. Carrier asks for a picture of Edwards; he has photos of many of his dearest friends.

(McQuaid), Bishop B(ernard Joseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan):
New York, New York)
Bishop (Richard) Gilmour's suggestion with regard to the Clan-na-gael is a good one. They cannot ask more of the Ancient Order of Hibernians than has been asked. It is satisfactory to (McQuaid) to have Father (Terence J.) Early's claim brought before an ecclesiastical tribunal. Early is the plaintiff against the St. Patrick's Church Society. (McQuaid) names Father James F. O'Hare as the Church's ecclesiastical advocate. If what Early claims is right and just, it will have to be the same for all other claimants and other dioceses. If Early should present his case by the 16th, it will not be possible to answer until after Easter. The delay in Rome is occasioned by Msgr. (Donatus) Sbaretti waiting to hear from (McQuaid) to send him what he needs. (McQuaid) has written to several bishops for facts. A letter from (Ella B.) Edes went down on the Oregon and she wrote again. Last week (McQuaid) suspended Father (George J.) Osborne for several reasons. He is personally irretrievably bankrupt. (McQuaid) had no idea that his affairs were as bad as they are. P.S. Bishop (Lawrence) McMahon's opinion is correct. News of the division is well aired in the Catholic newspapers.

Among her old papers she found a will of one of her ancestors written about 200 years ago. She is grateful for the interest Edwards shows for the memory of her dear adopted child. The bill for a new Congressional Library has passed; this will increase the value of her property and may enable her to make a sale.

Carrier requests Hudson ask Father-General give Carrier certain religious faculties. He suggests improvement in the Ave Maria. Father Hely, writer of French poems published in the Scholastic visited St. Laurent College. In conversation with him, Hely called Hudson the right man in the right place as editor of the Ave Maria, but said that at Notre Dame there was a want of "esprit de corps" and family union. Carrier is happy to hear that plans are being made to build a library at Notre Dame and he has written Professor (James) Edwards concerning it.

Teresa, by De Maistre", that she liked. She thinks the birthday gift they sent him was the best they could have sent. The notice made out of the notes she sent him was nice. She thanks him for the promised grapes. The Mother Superior is feeling better but needs prayers. P.S. April 10.

He was glad to receive Seton's note and to hear that his Lenten instructions were so well attended. His choice of subjects was excellent. What Seton says of their young priests he has heard from many others. Seminary training must be defective in many respects. Hudson has the fondest regards for many priests he knows but he has met others whose ways shocked him. (Lawrence) Kehoe has not sent the book as yet.

to J(ohn Alphonsus McMaster):

Gallagher was worried about John a long silence and could not account for it, besides he did not know where John was. He asks John to keep him posted of his whereabouts.at least once a week in the future. If anything had happened to John's father he should not have known where to write. John speaks of hurrying to New Orleans and of getting there in a week or two. Gallagher does not see how it can be done, and hopes John won't slight his work. John has sent in information about two subscribers from Savannah. A letter from (Maurice Francis) Egan, who claims John owes him a letter, is enclosed. All the folks are well. P.S. John says nothing about a remittance.

(McMaster, James Alphonsus):
(New York, New York)
to (John) Alphonsus (McMaster):
(Atlanta, Georgia)
John's letter, which he wrote after eleven days of silence has been received. It is a rule of the office that agents should report at least once a week. McMaster reminds John that he promised to let him know how he is and where a message can reach him. He hopes John does not deal so lightly with other promises. McMaster was threatened with congestion of both kidneys a few days ago, which attack, had it gone unchecked, would have left him but three or four days to live. His written instructions for his burial specify that there shall be "one day only intervening between death and burial." Had death occurred during the days (when John's whereabouts were not known), not only would John not have seen his father alive, but he would have been buried before John could have been reached. McMaster assures John he is not in the least pleased with his conduct in this respect, and hopes John, like a dutiful boy, will do better. He feels also that the lazy ways of the Southern States are not doing John any good. He is dissatisfied with him, and is solicitous on his account. John was in a great hurry to get to New Orleans, and McMaster is desirous that in John's present disposition his stay may be short. There seems to be no serious object in John's present comings and goings, and McMaster may have to request John's return to New York in some weeks. While he was ill McMaster thought of the one child he had for whom he had solicitude, of that child's forgetting his promise to inform his father of his whereabouts. John's letter to the office stating that he may be at Atlanta seems to say that they should take a chance at catching him. McMaster is taking a chance with this letter. He had some very pleasant things to tell John, but does not choose to throw away what he writes, on a chance of his letter reaching John. He hopes John will be able to spare part of an hour to write him.

He advises John to finish Mobile and its surroundings, and be in New Orleans by Saturday, May 1, even though he must skip a place. John's letter was the kind McMaster liked. Even when it was delayed, after the telegram, McMaster was solicitous, for he loves John, and besides being his only son, John is the only one of his children not safely housed in this world. He is very desirous of hearing from John regularly. He hopes John can get to communion at Master and on his birthday. He wishes John could see (McMaster's old friends), who would treat him well.

She knows he has had little time to write her, but knows also that he will never forget her. She asks him to keep bright and happy, and to avoid idle moments, for they bring sad thoughts. They have had both fun and serious talks together, and now they have Heaven to look forwards to, where there are no more separations. John's letter has just come, and as she has received no other letter from him for a long while she is afraid that the letter of which he speaks has gone astray. The mother of Carrie Thuringer (?) has died. She is Sister Johanna's cousin, the girl whom he met at the Rennart Hotel. She encloses some verses.

Life is a hard struggle, and to live a good Christian life requires continual conflict. John has fought the battle well, and McMaster has confidence in him. He wishes John happiness in this world now, in his youth. He feels deeply that a good many clouds have passed over John's young life, but if these only keep him set on regarding his chief joy that which is to come when (everything worldly) has passed. He hopes John has cut short or omitted places that would keep him from reaching New Orleans by Saturday. McMaster has forwarded two boxes of cigars to John, and he hopes John will find them good. He has received a letter from Sister Gertrude (McMaster, D.C.), who is the same loving and good heart; she wrote that Sister Teresa (McMaster, D.C.) in improving in health. In one more year John will be of age. McMaster's health is getting decidedly better, and one reason he feels is that he has quit drinking any distilled liquors. The only exception is on Sundays at the Reileys, and then he dilutes a few drops with water. Sometimes he misses the tipple, and sometimes, as on a cold morning, a glass of rum or brandy would give him great relief, but he does not what to expose himself to the wish of doing it a second time. He will attend Mass and receive communion for John on Sunday. John's letter has arrived, and he is glad John was able to attend Mass, and received Communion at Easter, as well as hear a Sermon. He thinks it a good habit to hear a sermon when possible. McMaster has not heard from "Mother" St. John (McMaster, S.H.C.J.) in a month. He wishes John a happy birthday, and sends regards to Mr. Fitzwilliam.

Dunbar, Catherine:
Paris, France
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
Not having heard from Edwards in a long time she is anxious to know how he is. She may go to America as the winters here are so damp. She would be pleased to know if any of the priests are coming over and will return; she does not like to go alone.

(McMaster), (Sister) Teresa, D.C.:
Baltimore, (Maryland)
to (John Alphonsus McMaster):
(New Orleans, Louisiana)
It hardly seems possible that John should be twenty years old on Sunday. They are both growing ancient. They must pray that as they advanced in years they will also take one step nearer God each day. God alone knows what the next year may bring John. Sister Gertrude (McMaster, D.C.) gave her John's letter to read, and it gave her much pleasure. She sends him a picture of St. Raphael, whom she asked to take ask as his protector. The picture is blest. She wishes him a happy birthday, and promises to pray for him. Enclosure: a holy card.

to (James Alphonsus) McMaster:

Mannix, Mary E.:
Cin(cinnati), O(hio)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Mannix is pleased to learn that Hudson likes her verses. She inquires if Hudson has seen a story presently being published by Lippincott's, which she thinks is either the slipshod work of either Maurice (Francis) Egan or (Thomas) Galwey. "Midshipman Bob" is a good story. She describes her family to Hudson. In the last number of the Advocate there is a story from the Ave Maria.
