(1886) (July)
(McMaster) S.H.C.J., (Sister) S(ain)t John:
(Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania)
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
(New York, New York)
McMaster will be surprised at hearing from her so soon again, but they have leave to beg for Masses for the (Reverend) Mother's Silver Jubilee on the feast of Saint Anne (July 26). She asks him to get a Mass said for her, and to direct the letter she encloses to Father Fidelio Stone, C.P. She does not remember whether he is at Buenos Aires or Rio (de) Janerio—he is at one, Pho stopped at the other. He may read the letter, if he wishes. She wonders whether "Passionist Monastery" and the name of the city would be enough.

O'(Connell), Father D( ) J( ):
Rome Italy
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
(New York, New York)
He had a private audience with (Pope Leo XIII) on June 25 (1886), to present the new priests (who had studied at the American College.) The Pope spoke at some length of Quebec and Baltimore, and why he had raised their incumbents to the rank of Cardinal. He mentioned his being pleased with Cardinal (James) Gibbons (of Baltimore), and would have sent him a message, had one of the new priests been from Baltimore. Then the Pope addressed the young priests, explaining that it is a privilege and an honor to study at Rome, and impressed upon them the seriousness of their office. After the Pope had blessed the priests, the writer presented 2144.69 lire from the Bishop of Kansas City (John J. Hogan) for the schools in the East, for which purpose the same Bishop had given 512.10 lire in May (1886). The Pope received the offering gratefully, and blessed all the faithful in the Diocese of Kansas City. He recommended the work of the Peterpence to the young priests, whose names the writer lists. P.S. He wrote this letter, but fearing McMaster would not be able to read it, had it copied by (Father) McDeory(?).

Lima, N(ew) Y(ork)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Terry has learned from Father J(ames) H. Day that Brownson has concluded his edition of Brownson's Works without including his short reviews of many books. He believes that these are of great value and is anxious to publish them as a guide for book buyers. His plans have not taken shape as yet but he would like to have Brownson's approval and terms. Terry saw Brownson's father (Orestes A. Brownson) 16 years ago at Seton Hall and is himself a convert.

to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Stoddard thinks Schicky unreliable and he asks Hudson to pay the bill and charge it to his account. The boys spoke about the settlement, but thanks to the bullheadedness of (Father Thomas) Walsh, C.S.C., it turned out as it did. This is one of the memories for which Stoddard has to thank him. His health has been thoroughly shaken. Stoddard is glad he went to (Notre Dame)but what he learned there of the hypocrisy of priests and blackguardism of brothers has done him lasting injury.

Sister recommends Hudson take a year's leave of absence and spend it traveling in an attempt to rebuild his health. She thanks Hudson for the book. She praises "Midshipman Bob". During the next seven weeks she will attempt to complete her biography of St. Pius after which she plans to send Hudson a sketch of Isabella Brown, a Catholic writer of stories for youth. She is sorry to report that Archbishop (Cajetan) Masella has not been made cardinal. She was surprised to see her sketch of Blessed Margaret of Savoy in the Ave Maria and hopes Hudson will like her story "Doralice". She is pleased that Christian Reid's story has commenced in the Ave Maria. Hudson is correct, "Robin Redbreast's Victory" was written by (Kathleen) O'Meara and not by (Rosa) Mulholland. She has never read such rubbish as the so-called Irish stories of Mulholland's that Father (Matthew) Russell, S.J. is publishing.

Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
to Richard R. Elliott:
Detroit, (Michigan)
They all sympathize with Elliott in the loss of his daughter. Mr. Devlin who recognized Elliott as a friend of Mr. O'Bierne also sympathises with him. He is working to close his volume and is on the Church in French territory, 1690-1763. It embraces Michigan posts and he is anxious to see the Detroit Register for use as well as to copy. He wrote to the pastor of Saint Anne's (Detroit) but has had no response. He does not have a copy of the Duquesne register but he sends others and Elliott can give the duplicates to Bishop (Caspar Henry) Borgess. A Mr. H. Prudhomme of Windsor, Canada offered a copy or summary of the register which he had made for the Canadian government. He offered also the Register of the Notary 1732-1796. Shea would rather work from the original and will get facsimiles of signatures. He has been away but will soon mail the sketch of the History of the Diocese. He thanks Elliott for the sketch and the appendix of the Father (Gabriel) Richard's memoir. (Bookplate of Elliott attached)

Singenberger, Father J(ohn):
St. Francis, Wis(consin)
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
(New York, New York)
Singenberger found an article "Discords in Sacred Music" in No. 24 of (the Freeman). He has worked very hard for Catholic Church Music in America and done his best to cultivate a sacred Church music. He is always very glad if anyone else works for the same purpose, and if Father ( ) Graf does some good in his own way, no one will feel happier than Singenberger, though he knows that Graf published in his Lyra (Sacra) some music that was not church music at all. His friends expected him to write against the Lyra (Sacra), but he has not even mentioned that paper in his Cacilia for different reasons, chiefly to avoid all discord. So he was astonished to read of "discords" in the Freeman. He does not intend to answer the article now; perhaps the time will come when he must answer, but for the present he will give to (McMaster) some information. (1) Singenberger has never mentioned the Lyra in his Cacilia. (Father) Ch(arles) Becker, (in the enclosed article), mentioned it, but (Father) Becker signed his name. (2) Singenberger never called (Father) Graf's collections "sinful". (3) If the compositions mentioned in the Article ("Discords") are lighter in form and more melodious than those appearing in Cacilia, Singenberger feels he must say that all those compositions are copied by (Father) Graf from the music supplements of the Cacilia. He adds that two compositions by Stchle, and Oborhoffer were composes expecially for his paper, and secured by him only with much trouble. It is very easy to copy them, and write as the author of "Discords" did. (4) Singenberger had a longer practical experience in Church music than (Father Graf, and has had better occasion for studies and experiment. This letter and the explanation are meant for (McMaster) alone. Singenberger feels a little discouraged, especially if priests act like (Father) Graf, who always called him "friend". He sees no reason why they cannot work together. If (McMaster) wants to use any portion of the letter, he may do so, but without using Singenberger's name.

This week they will call on Mrs. Crawhall (née) Synnot and (Ellen L.) Cayley. One of the results of Home Rule might be that the Irish would emigrate back to Ireland. Bad as they are the German anarchists are perhaps more dangerous. Both races are a nuisance. William sends Mr. Palmer's letter. Sally had a letter from the elder Tenny girl whom she supports at Eden Hall. Elizabeth is to tell more about Jack, Willie, Agnes and Sands and to write often to poor Harry. Mrs. Lee is having a delightful time at Southampton. In most of the hotels they can get ice water, but very seldom an elevator. The railroads are better built, but William prefers (American) cars.

Cooney hopes Father Walsh has invited Archbishop (Michael Heiss) of Milwaukee, spiritual director of the Union as well as the Archbishops of Cincinnati and Chicago; Bishops Ireland, Spalding, Gilmour, and Dwenger should be invited and to cap the climax, efforts should be made to get Cardinal Gibbons to attend. Cooney's health is improving.

(McMaster, James Alphonsus):
New York, (New York)
to (John) Alphonsus (McMaster):
(Cincinnati, Ohio?)
McMaster has received John's letter from Cincinnati, and is glad he is to see John so soon. He was in Baltimore on July 16, and was pall bearer for the Mother Sub-prioress. Sister Teresa (McMaster, D.C.) is much better, and so is Sister St. John (McMaster, S.H.C.J.), whom, he hopes, John will see. McMaster does not know what plans the Keiley boys have for August, but thinks they have none. He will write on two separate slips memoranda of what he wishes John to attend to at Grafton, (Pennsylvania), and at Fittsburgh. McMaster will not be surprised, however, if John finds Mr. Doonan and Mr. McGraw absent. If they are absent he need not stay in Grafton long. He does not think John careless for dropping the letter, for that could happen to any one. He will try to write John again at Pittsburgh. He hopes that John though outwardly altered, is inwardly unchanged. P.S. McMaster gives the address of Dr. Oldshue, and warns John to be gentle with him, for he is a timorous old man. He instructs John to tell him that McMaster's daughters all thanked him on coming of age, and that John expects to do so on his next birthday. John should ask Dr. Oldshue about the investment of John's share of property receipts, and if it can be had after May 2, 1887. McMaster suggests friends John can call on in Pittsburgh, and tells where they can be found.

(Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
In this letter, which is labeled "Pittsburgh Business", McMaster asks John to see Dr. Oldshue in Pittsburgh, and ask about the investment of John's of the sale of the Pittsburgh Steel Works, and whether the amount will be ready when John attains his majority on May 2, (1886). A piece of property in Beaver, Penn(sylvania) belongs to the Fetterman estate. McMaster has an offer for this which he is going to accept. If John wishes he can go out to Beaver, but McMaster does not think it worthwhile. However, John should ask Dr. Oldshue what is the meaning of John R. Gloniger's pretending to act "as administrator of the Estate of Sarah B. Fetterman", John's grandmother. Gloniger has no such power. The statement was printed in the Baltimore Sun of Feb. 4, 1886.

Early has been in Rochester working up his case. Early is afraid of having it come before an ecclesiastical tribune.

An important principle is at stake and has to be decided on grounds that will make law for the whole country. (Corrigan) is to return the Cardinal's letter. Archbishop (John J. Williams) returned to Boston last week. He enjoys Hemlock Lake immensely. (McQuaid) encloses a letter from Msgr. (Denis J.) O'Connell (no enclosure) asking to lend him Father (Edward) Hanna. This means (McQuaid) would lose him altogether. It is hard for his young diocese to make such a sacrifice. One thought makes (McQuaid) hesitate. He would like to see the American College (in Rome) free of the Italians. The Doctor is a little confused in his presentment of the case. Before (McQuaid) decides, he will await (Corrigan)'s opinion.

She says he must be feeling the heat, and she will be glad when (Jack) comes home, for he will make McMaster go for cool sailing trips. She saved (Jack's) letters to McMaster. The Mother Superior will be glad to have the picture of Our Lady of Good Counsel if it will not give Miss Edes too much trouble. She thanks him for the article on S(ain)t Anne d'Beaupre, and wonders when he will write about Mr. Carmel. She has realized how sad it would be if the Carmelite Fathers on it. Carmel (Palestine) were despoiled of their possessions and she suggests McMaster read the "Prophet of Carmel". They have just celebrated the feast of their founder, S(ain)t Elias on July 20. She hopes Mother Ignatius is enjoying her patron's day in Heaven. Monday they begin gaining the Indulgence of the Portinncula; McMaster will be remembered in her prayers.
