E(dwards), J(ames) F.: Paris, (France)
to Sister Aloysius, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Edwards had the honor of seeing Father (Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C.) twice before he sailed for America. Edwards has seen Vion Papin who is in Paris with his sister and aunt. Edwards meets friends from America every time he goes out. This is the first time he has missed commencement at Notre Dame. He has lost the address of the man making the picture of Father General. Edwards wonders whether the moths will get into his establishment now that Brother Columbkille, (C.S.C., Thomas Carmody) is no more.

Crowley, Mary C(atherine): Ridgewood, New Jersey
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Crowley's literary friends, J(ohn) Boyle O'Reilly and Katherine Conway advise her to bring out another book for Christmas. She inquires if Hudson will publish several children's stories she has written in book form. If not, will Hudson allow her to use "Happy-Go-Lucky" and "Neil's Bravery". Conway assures her that she thinks Crowley can make an arrangement with Hudson by which Crowley can include them in the book.

H(udson, C.S.C., Father) D(aniel) E.: Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
to Henry F. Brownson: Detroit, Mich(igan)

By impossible, Father Hudson meant not to be thought of, i. e., undesirable. Reputation (of Judge Edmund F. Dunne) not the best. Ask (John Moore,) Bishop of (St. Augustine,) Florida.

Onahan, W(illiam) J.: Chicago, (Illinois)
to Henry F. Brownson: Detroit, (Michigan)

(Daniel E.) Rudd came from Cincinnati yesterday to confer with Onahan as to the work of their Committee, and they got on quite harmoniously; Onahan does not anticipate any disagreement. Rudd explained some things regarded the Detroit meeting that had not been clear and which Onahan had been disposed to find fault with—he alludes on the omissions. The call will be prepared and issued by September 1. Is that too late? He hopes to meet (Henry J.) Spaunhorst in a week or two and if necessary will go to St. Louis for the purpose. The "annexation" of the adjoining towns and villages which goes into effect at once will add immeasurably to his duties—so that he will have less time than ever, but he will answer for the preliminary work assigned to the committee. He expects to meet Archbishop (John) Ireland on his return from the East. No doubt he will have some suggestions to make on the general subject.

Smith, Sara Trainer: Phila(delphia, Pennsylvania)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: Notre Dame, Indiana

Smith sent a poem entitled "Before the Image of the Sacred Heart". She thinks Hudson paid her for "Corpus Christi Roses" three years ago. As a Catholic she lives very much alone. She is knit by strongest ties to Presbyterians.

S(tanfield) F(lora) L(ouise): South Bend, Indiana
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Stanfield submits some items. She urges Hudson to take a vacation. She asked (Maurice Francis) Egan if he could not carry Hudson off for a few weeks, but she fears that even if he could Hudson would take his cares with him. Her brother-in-law has made changes in his business which will delay her sister's arrival for a few days. (Charles Warren) Stoddard's talk of Francesca was most charming. Stanfield talked to thirty young people Friday about Florence, weaving into her chat several sketches which she planned to send the Ave Maria.

to (Henry F. Brownson: Detroit, Michigan)

He is sending Brownson a copy of his newly published short story. He inquires about the translation of "The Life of Christopher Columbus." He is now studying John and Sebastian Cabotto, and it is not improbable that he will decide to write their lives also.

Foy, Peter L.: St. Louis, (Missouri)
to H(enry) F. Brownson: Detroit, (Michigan)

Foy has received Brownson's letters of the 1st and encloses (John Gilmary) Shea's letter, as he requested. There is a good deal in what he says, in fact it is strictly true; but if Catholics have nothing of note in the fine arts, neither have any other class or division of Americans. The native genius of the American people does not take that direction. If one comes to literature Catholics have not so much to boast of. Gosse, the critic, says we have produced no great poet, and such Foy believes to be the case, although Foe has produced some marvellous strains—most musical and melancholy. Hawthorne (pere) is undoubtedly a great novelist and Uncle Tom's cabin a great novel, but the rest of our fiction is of small account. Neither have we produced a first class historian, though we have, and have had, several historical writers of distinction. He questions whether America has produced any great orators but Patrick Henry and Webster, or any philosopher worthy of the name during the existence of the Government but Brownson's father (Orestes A. Brownson). Of course he does not forget Franklin, who was a great natural philosopher in more senses than one. He and his famous contemporaries in public life were the greatest philosophical politicians and statesmen that have ever lived and he does not place him in the first class. In the Revolutionary constellation he was not a star of the first magnitude. In politics, statemanship, applied science, mechanical inventions, engineering, well excel all other nations, and considering all the circumstances may be well content with this, for the future will probably give Catholics everything they desire. From the tenor of Shea's letter, Foy infers that Brownson outlined the paper which he asked him to write. If so, he made a mistake and Shea looks at the matter from the wrong point. Not what Catholics have done in the fields of literature, art and science, but how they have grown and the providential courses of that growth are the theses to be handled in a historical paper. This was so evident to Foy that he has devoted a page to it in the article on the Congress for the July Quarterly, and he begs Brownson to read it attentively, as he cannot write it over again.He would ask (Richard H.) Clarke to write the paper but not until the Quarterly comes out. He has marked the two suggestions of Shea which he would convey to Clarke. Brownson might tell Shea to choose his own subject, if he is willing to cooperate, but Foy would not entrust the historical paper to him. A layman, () Otten, here is capable of producing a masterly paper on Church music and Foy will speak to him at once if Brownson says so. He has broached the subject to him already, in the presence of Father (J. J.) Hughes, and if Brownson has written to no other person for a paper on the subject, Foy anticipates no difficulty in getting him to undertake the work. P.S.: He has not seen (Henry J.) Spaunhorst yet.

Seton, W(illia)m: Cambridge, Mass(achusetts)
to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton: Edinburgh, Scotland)

He has sent Robert's letter of June 15 to Liz. The last Freeman's Journal gave Robert's sermon. Sally and he will visit Plymouth in a few days. T(h)om(as) and Jim Lee are off on vacation at Southampton, L.I. They made a good examination. Harry (Seton) and the boys expect to be at Cragdon next week. Louis Sands writes that the Navarros have rented both their country houses and Mrs. Navarro and Tony have sailed for France. Cambridge is empty of students and William has the library and museum all to himself. What Robert says about France and her aristocracy is interesting. William wrote Robert in care of Mr. de Barberey a few weeks ago. (P.S.) He will pass tomorrow with Sally.

(Hill), C.P. Father Edmund: St. Louis, M(iss)o(uri)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

He will remain in St. Louis until the end of July. Father Fidelis (Stone C.P.) went to Peoria on the invitation of Bishop Spalding; they are to give a mission there in August. Bishop Chatard has allowed them to come to his diocese. They are waiting for news from St. Paul and Chicago. Father (David S.) Phelan of the Western Watchman gave them quite a terrific puff. Yesterday, they dined with the Jesuit Fathers and he met his name sake, Father Walter Hill, S.J., who invited them to his church in Chicago.

E(dwards), J(ames) F.: Dusseldorf, Germany
to Sister Aloysius, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana

When he reaches Baden-Baden, he is sure he will find a letter from her. After leaving Paris George (Rhodius) and Edwards went to Brussells, then to Antwerp which Edwards enjoyed because he is a lover of "Conscience Tales". Everywhere they went they saw the places described by the Walter Scott of Belgium (Henry Conscience). If all Germany is like Dusseldorf they will be delighted with their trip. Everywhere Edwards meets kind friends who cannot do too much for him. God has been good to him. He fears it will be difficult for him to enter Heaven because our Lord has done so much for him here. His heart is bursting with a desire to show appreciation of the many kindnesses shown to him by his friends across the ocean. He sends regards to the Sisters.

Reilly, L. W.: Columbus, O(hio)
to Henry F. Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

Will Brownson give The Columbian a list of the subjects of papers to be read at the Catholic Congress in Baltimore and the names of the writers? P.S. The Catholic Review complains that no mention has been made of the Catholic press in the subjects proposed for discussion; but, as Reilly understands it, the topic "Catholic literature" is intended to cover both books and newspapers.

(Seton), Monsignor Robert: London, (England)
to Wil(liam Seton: Cambridge, Massachusetts)

He arrived in London from Paris on June 22. Everything in England looks solider, happier and more prosperous. He is impressed by the vastness, populousness and wealth of London. His most frequent visits have been to Westminster Abbey and the British Museum. He has not begun the National Gallery or Kensington Museum. Last Friday he visited Trinity House at the back of the Tower. He also saw where the scaffold stood on Tower Hill. He also visited the Church of All Hallows and saw the pew occupied by Dr. Johnson. While at the British Museum Monsignor (George) Doane came in and they dined together that evening. (Seton) left word at Cook's to send anything that might come for him to Edinburgh up to August 15. Perhaps Madame de B(arberey) has letters for him. He had an excellent interview with Cardinal Manning. In Hyde Park he saw a great concourse of people who were meeting to express sympathy for Ireland and indignation at the second arrest of Mr. Conybeare, M.P. Mr. Sexton made a good point when he asked why such meettings were allowed in England and not in Ireland. (David) Balfour, a smart young Scotch gentleman, most aggravatingly cool, collected, and apparently indifferent, at last replied that in England such speeches were not likely to provoke a breach of the peace whereas in Ireland they were. (Seton) saw Gladstone and heard him say a few words. If Wil writes after August 5 he is to address Robert in care of Madame de Barberey.

Carroll, Jeanie: (Washington, D.C.)
to (James F. Edwards: (Paris, France)

Edwards' noble heart must be saddened by the condition of La Belle France. In Asbury ParkDr. Edward McGlynn will address the multitude and the following week some apostate priest will regal the foolish crowd. She has the happiness of going to early Mass everymorning. She wants Edwards to wrote but does not want him to tax himself.

Corby, (C.S.C.), Father W(illiam): Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
to (James F.) Edwards: (Baden-Baden, Holland)

They are in retreat. The retreat of the Sisters (of Holy Cross) finished last Friday at Notre Dame. The Sisters are approved and will be all one - N.D. and St. Mary's. They will hold an election for a Mother General. A special train of old students came for Commencement. Some v.g. John Armstrong looked older than Corby. Laura (Fendrich) feels badly about the death of Mr. Fendrich, Sr. No doubt Edwards will go to Sta. Birgitta and see Mgr. (Peter) Dufal, (C.S.C.), Father (Peter Franciscus (C.S.C.) and Father (Frederick) Linneborn (C.S.C.). P.S. If there is any trouble in Rome to find a man to fill some respectable bishopric in this country Corby will sacrifice himself.

Foy, Peter L.: St. Louis, (Missouri)
to H(enry) F. Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

Foy returns (M.J.) Harson's letter. Some of his suggestions are good. If there is to be a paper from (zach) Montgomery on the public schools there should be a second one from a more moderate writer. An attack on the common schools, unless accompanied by an antidote, would do mischief. Foy attaches no value to Harson's suggestion about geographical considerations in the case of the writers of papers. It is proper enough in the appointment of officers and if the attendance justifies it, there can be a vice-president from every state of the Union. He saw (Henry J.) Spaunhorst Saturday and he was very reluctant to undertake the paper on organizations. Foy urged him very strongly not to back out, for two reasons: his mind seemed to be loaded with the idea in Detroit, and he is a German. With regard to ( ) Otten, Foy merely asked him to write because Brownson complained that he would have to ask a certain priest to write such an article, as he knew no layman capable of it. Otten was not at all desirous of taking up the task and mentioned a Milwaukee man, whose address Foy encloses as the fittest man for the work, and has not seen Otten since. (William J.) Onahan, (Henry J.) Spaunhorst and Foy are to meet here next Sunday and the call will be the chief subject. Spaunhorst told him about Onahan's coming but was not quite sure. It would be advisable to get a good many papers although the subjects need not been increased but might be sub-divided. If all the papers should not be read, they could at least be published in the volume of the proceedings. Foy would prefer not to read his. He dissents from the notion that ecclesiastics should be called on for papers. If the Congress is to be a lay Congress it ought to be so in fact as well as in name. Harson also takes it for granted that the subjects may be divided. With regard to Negroes and Indians, Brownson remembers how the farmer was disposed of at the Detroit conferences. The Negro representative did not want the subjecttouched. Try to get a paper on the Indian schools from a competent layman. If Brownson knows none, he may apply to Bishop (Martin) Marty. Foy does not doubt that most of the Government Indian schools are bitter opponents of the Catholic Church.

S(toddard), C(harles) W(arren): Paris, France
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Stoddard hopes Hudson and his Ave Maria may come to Washington where they can begin life anew. If this is impossible, Hudson will die in harness and the Ave Maria will go to the dogs. They will kill it in a year in that accursed atmosphere; they would have killed Hudson in a year had it been possible. Never was less wisdom or tact displayed than in the management of affairs at Notre Dame. Were it not that a whole community of egoists is working for its bread and butter, the place would have been bankrupted years ago. They are booked to sail on the "City of New York" on August 7, his birthday. From New York he will go to Covington. These generous people (Mr. and Mrs. Vail) deserve some consideration; Stoddard daily grows more necessary to the happiness of their boy (Arthur?) whom he does not care for. He breakfasted yesterday with young Robert Browning.. Marion Crawford writes the profession of amuser to the public is a miserable one. May there be more Father (Joseph) Damien (DeVeusters) and fewer novelists in the twentieth century. Harrison,, who was a devil at Notre Dame and a pal of Roger Byron came to see him. He has taken a degree at the Sorbonne and speaks French like a native.

(Note: On the reverse side Edwards relates an account of a joke which a Father Albert of Glasgow, Scotland, played on Brother Seraphin, a porter in a monastery in Paris. The account is continued on the back of (Dup. Negative) H.C. Huffer's letter of July 27, 1889, to Edwards.)

Aloysius, (C.S.C.), Sister M.: Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
to (James F.) Edwards: Paris, France

She is glad Edwards is having such a pleasant time. Sister F(elicia) has often said she hopes Edwards won't like it too well and remain altogether. Edwards will come back liking Notre Dame better than ever. They got their obediences. There were few changes. Some think Mother Superior will be elected General (of Sisters of Holy Cross), others Mother Annunciata. Father General (Edwards Sorin, C.S.C.) said he was delighted to meet Edwards and George (Rhodius) in Paris. Father (William) Corby is conducting the retreat.

E(dwards) J(ames) F.: Baden-Baden, (Germany)
to Sister Aloysius (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

The only way he can repay Sister for her remembrance is to have Mass said for her intentions. Would that there were more like her to continue the work of Father (Edward) Sorin. Father (John) O'Connell (C.S.C.) deserves a good scolding; Edwards wrote him three times and received no answer. But he knows that his heart is in the right place. It is wonderful to see the amount of new buildings going up in German cities. The streets are clean and lined with trees. He attended Mass in the magnificent cathedral of Cologne; never had he heard such sublime music.

Hill is doubtful about being able to get to Notre Dame. The trouble is that he and Father (Fidelis Stone, C.P.) are pressed for time. In August they are to preach a week long mission at the new cathedral in Peoria, after which they are engaged for two Sundays in Chicago, from there they go to Indianapolis to accept Bishop (Francis S.) Chatard's invitation. Unfortunately, they cannot stay in the Western States as long as they would like because the Eastern cities are the field for them. Hill hopes his book will be brought out before he leaves for the South. Who is E(lla) L(orraine) Dorsey? He admires her tales, she has powers like George Eliot.

Welch S.J. Father E(dward) H.: Sahron Hill, Pennsylvania
to Father Daniel (E. Hudson C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Welch is giving a retreat. He was in New York last week, where he saw Father (Robert) Fulton, S.J. at a Provincial Congregation, who spoke of a pleasant visit with Hudson. Welch witnessed the marriage of one of their graduates of 1889, John Dahlgren, youngest son of the late Rear Admiral (John Dahlgren), to Miss Drexel, a cousin of the well known Misses Drexel of Philadelphia, who is a convert. He is giving a retreat to the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus, who were founded in England a half century ago by Mrs. (Cornelia) Connelly an American and a convert.

Foy. Peter L.: St. Louis, (Missouri)
to (Henry F.) Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

(William J.) Onahan and (Henry J.) Spaunhorst were with Foy yesterday. The former was loaded to the muzzle and the latter coincided with him, almost in everything. The result was a complete upsetting of what was done at Detroit. They have determined to appoint "a supervisory committee of bishops" to take charge of the papers and boss the proceedings. The committee on papers, of which Brownson is chairman and Foy a member, is practically wiped out. Brownson may solicity persons to write papers, but there his functions end. Onahan, speaking for Archbishop (John) I(reland), declared that the selection of the writer on the Independence of the Apostolic See must be left to (James) Cardinal (Gibbons), the Committee to entreat him to name the writer. Foy kicked vigorously, but compromised, by agreeing to consult Brownson first. Onahan also proposed to leave the nomination of the vice presidents, one for each state, to the bishops, and this Foy opposed also, insisting that the laymen should name the vice presidents. The subject of temperance also came up, and as Spaunhorst yielded, Foy did, because his only object in voting for excluding it from the list in Detroit was to please the Germans. Brownson will therefore perceive that hardly anything of the work done at Detroit remains. In addition, there are to be papers on the labor question, on capital and labor. Foy does not know who is to write them, but Onahan, who assumed to be the mouth-piece of Archbishop Ireland and Cardinal Gibbons, laid out the whole program without reference to what had been done at Detroit. Father (J. J.) Hughes was present most of the time, for Foy sent over to the college inviting him. The committee on organization has now taken control of the whole affair and ousted the committee on papers. Why did not Archbishop Ireland attend at Detroit, to meet those who travelled hundreds of miles to get there? Foy thought it was to be a congress of Laymen, but now it seems that laymen cannot be trusted to utter their sentiments even on such a question as the independence of the Holy See. But Foy as an individual is not much hurt, for he has already expressed himself. And as he was merely called in to the movement by the originators. He hasno notion of doing or saying anything antagonistic to the hierarchy, though he holds that their strange action in forbidding any expression of opinion on the Roman question showed neither political sense nor Catholic spirit. This is entre nous. Brownson is therefore at liberty, as far as Foy is concerned, to write to the Cardinal in the name of the committee and ask him to name the gentleman who shall write the paper on the independence of the Holy Father. Foy will agree to anything but to write it himself. Neither will he write a paper of any kind because he is not en rapport with the Cardinal on social and industrial questions, and the supervisory committee would inevitably sit down on him. He is determined to take a back seat and let the prelates run the meeting to suit themselves. This is his ultimate resolve, and he hopes Brownson will not attempt to alter it. Of other matters that came up Governor (John) Lee Carroll of Maryland was agreed on for president. Charles (J.) Bonaparte was mentioned, but Onahan seems to hate the name. Foy proposed to establish the Catholic Union of America and hold a Congress every year in different cities, but Onahan did not seem to accept the idea. He was more occupied by the necessity of visiting the two convents of the Sacred Heart than anything else. He evidently stuffed Spaunhorst before Foy met them, and Foy doubts whether he would have made the flying visit which he did make if Archbishop Ireland had not sent him. There is no call drawn up yet and no sketch of it was submitted yesterday. Onahan promised to attend to it at once and returned to Chicago yesterday evening. Foy cannot say whom Brownson can get to write the paper on temperance. He asked Scaunhorst to write it, but he peremptorily refused. P.S.: The Milwaukee man is of the straightest sect of Gregerians; ( ) Otten is a little more liberal.

Horstmann Father Ign(atius) F.: Philadelphia, (Pennsylavania)
to Richard H(enry) Clarke: (New York, New York)

Archbishop (Patrick Ryan) is away. Horstmann says Clarke can see in the Directory the churches built in the last five years. The Eddington Industrial School was built by the Misses Drexel. A new House of the Good Shepherd at Norristown, also in Reading. Father (Michael P.) Stack died the day before in Scranton. He received all the Sacraments of the Church. 16 years before Bishop (William) O'Hara had removed Stack from the parish of Williamsport because of the financial embarrassment. He appealed to the civil and Supreme Courts but the case was decided in the Bishop's favor. Stack went to Rome and made a retreat there. Propaganda asked his Bishop to give him a place. The Bishop asked for an act of submission and reparation from Stack, which he refused to make, and Stack again appealed to the civil court. Archbishop (James F.) Wood—not Williams—and (Father John W.) Gerdemann was pastor of the new German congregation of St.Boniface. Gerdemann was building a costly church when suddenly he left with his lady organist, a Protestant, whom he married. The creditors of the church had him arested for embezzlement but he was tried and acquited. Horstmann cannot see why mention need be made of this scandal. Horstmann spoke to his Grace about the Brownson lecture. The Archbishop said it was impossible for him to prepare any such as his duties absolutely prevent giving time to such.

France certainly is threatened with a revolution of some kind, it will not occur until the elections. Archbishop (William H.) Gross has gone abroad. Father (Francis A.) Gasquet sent his recently published work on the English Monasteries for review. The Provincial Chapter opened yesterday. He sends Edwards a catalogue.

In May, the relics of a Dominican bishop martyred at Tonkin in 1858 were brought to Oviedo. In a letter received from (Cajetan) Cardinal Masella, he said that the latest outrages in Rome were that of open war declared against the Divinity. Hudson's zeal won't let him be content with the Ave Maria; Father General Edward Sorin got him a new blessing which is a consolation. Stoddard is a charming writer, while Starr and Egan are superior writers, but it is invidious to single out any of Hudson's staff for special praise. (Joseph) Cardinal (Neto) Patriarch of Lisbon has gone to Caldas da Rainha, to recover from his accident.

Her father has commenced to work on the portraits of Washington and Bishop Carroll for the (Catholic University) of Washington. Mother Lucretia came home last night. Sister Benedict is growing weaker every day. (Luigi Gregori adds a note in Italian): John F.

(Onahan, William J.): Chicago, (Illinois)
to Henry F. Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

(Onahan) presumed in his last letter, that Brownson was in full accord with Archbishop Ireland, who having previously conferred with Cardinal Gibbons, was prepared to speak as to the Cardinal's views. There was a change in view on the questions of "The Independence of the Holy See," and of "Temperance," as it is now considered that there should be an expression in the form of written papers. Onahan had inferred to Brownson that these changes had been made, and was strongly in favor of the retention of these subjects. Only the wishes of the Cardinal could have influenced him to yield his conviction. Mr. Spaunhorst had at first been adverse to the Temperance question, but had yielded most cordially. As to technical objection and etiquette of jurisdiction, Onahan supposes no difficulty, especially when there was question of giving greater force and added life to the Congress. If Onahan was mistaken, he believes he acted in good faith. The importance of having the Advisory Committee composed of Bishops seemed manifest.

Onahan, W(illiam) J.: Chicago, (Illinois)
to Henry F. Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

Onahan took for granted when he wrote to Brownson advising him of the results of the conference in St. Louis last Sunday that he was in the fullest accord with Archbishop (John) Ireland, who had been with Brownson in Detroit the previous week. Of course Brownson must have been made aware that the Archbishop had just before that conferred with (James) Cardinal Gibbons and was therefore prepared to act and speak advisedly as to his views on the subjects in question. That there was a change of view on some points growing out of a fuller knowledge of the situation and that especially on the independence of the Holy See and Temperance it was now considered best there should be an expression in the form of written papers. These facts Onahan inferred had been made known to Brownson as well as the reasons on which the change was based. At any events he so understood the case. Naturally he would have warmly favored and strongly insisted at the outset on the retention of these subjects, and only the strong representations made as to the wishes of His Eminence could have influenced him to yield his own earnest conviction that a failure to present them would have been a blunder. He is not so wedded to his own opinions that he should obstinately refuse to yield when urged to do so by influences and considerations appealing so powerfully to his instinct of Catholic loyalty. As to the temperance question, Onahan found (Henry J.) Spaunhorst who had represented the adverse view, the first to yield, and he did so most cordially. Hence Onahan could only conclude there would be no disposition to resent the action or dissent from the agreement in any other quarter. As to the technical objection and the etiquette or jurisdiction, he certainly did not suppose there would be difficulty on that score, especially when there was question of giving greater force and added life to the Congress. However, if he was mistaken, Onahan can only say that he acted in good faith and according to what he was lead to believ would be fully understood and readily acquiesced in. The importance of having the advisory committee composed of bishops also seemed manifest. With these explanations he leaves the whole matter. The issueand determination of it will now rest with others.

She has sent a copy of the five articles on Christian art to a lady in England, who will look up Mr. Powell. She expects to go to Durand on August 8 or 9 to be there for the birthday. The Catholic library there sent her $8.00 to buy books. She would like Hudson to send them Egan's stories.

He saw the tomb of Captain John Smith and the Church where Cromwell was married and John Milton buried. Yesterday he saw great curiosities in the South Kensington Museum. He could not see the Mary Seton letters in the British Museum because that department was already closed. The librarian of the House of Lords, Mr. Pulman, showed him the original death warrant of Charles I. He has been again to the House of Commons. He heard some good speaking on both sides. It was strange that the Welsh Tithes Recovery Bill should be in the hands of a Roman Catholic for its successful passage. Seton went to Curzon Street and took a good look at the house in which Agnes and Mary Berry lived so long; he expects to see their tomb in Petersham this week. Last Sunday Seton met a very noble old convert Mrs. Anstruther Stewart, a daughter of the Earl of Sallaway. On Monday he met another convert of the Seton blood,"Baroness" (M.G.) Halkett, daughter of Baron Halkett of Hanover. She is in training as a Lady-nurse and is going to India for hospital work.

Foy, Peter L.: St. Louis, (Missouri)
to (Henry F.) Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

Brownson may be right in saying that Archbishop (John) Ireland was not the prompter to (William J.) Onahan in demanding a new program; but he used Ireland's name so much Foy assumed this to be so. Brownson should write to Ireland, and show him that an advisory committee of bishops would be unwise and impolitic. He is not well pleased with the conduct of their German friend (Henry J.) Spaunhorst, he declaimed temperance in Detroit, and in St. Louis he threw up the sponge without a struggle; he has been inconsistent before. He talked with Father (J.J.) Hughes who is of their mind on a supervisory body; Hughes said such a body should be severely limited to actions contrary to faith and morals. He further agreed with Brownson's stand and thought they should have a theologian on the committee. Foy is in favor of one committee and of forwarding the idea of a permanent organization and of holding annual or biennial meetings. He does not think (Terence V.) Powderly the man to write a paper on capital and labor because he is so completely identified with one side; he might do for the temperance paper, a subject on which the working classes cannot get too much wholesome counsel. Since the St. Louis Archbishop is to say the Mass at the Carroll centenary they will have a large contingent present. Instead of Brownson coming to St. Louis, the committee should go early to Baltimore before the congress. Onahan says he will not have time to write a paper; when the mayor is out of town, Onahan must be at his desk. Onahan objected strongly to Montgomery writing a paper.

Father (Lambert) Conrardy, the only secular priest in the group is an invalid. At Kalaupapa there is a Girls' Home, while the Boys' Home is located at Kalawao. Close by is their rock church just being completed. The Boy's Home has come under the control of the Board of Health, but it is still a Catholic work with Dutton is charge of it. Mother Marianne is in charge of the Girl's Home and has fifty patients. She is a delightful person and has four sisters with her. Others are near at Honolulu and Wailuku. Damien lay for three weeks in the last stages of his illness, unable to say Mass. He died about 8 A.M., April 15. Harper can help the lepers as well as Dutton by being a scribe for him. They had two other men helpers since he came, the first remained about 2 months; the other, Mr. Sinnot(t) of St. Louis got off a couple of days ago. Conrardy is going to Honolulu tomorrow to see if the doctors there can do anything for him. Dutton doubts if he will be able to return and he will be alone at Kalawao for the present with his German assistant and one hundred boys.

to Henry F. Brownson: (Detroit, Michigan)

Foy has received Brownson's letter of the 25th and also a draft of the call. His opinion of it is the same as Brownson's. To make it less verbose, he struck out several words, and to make the sense of one sentence more definite, added two words. This he did by way of suggestion, since Brownson knows they must work with men as they find them. One cannot by any process, whether it be consecration, ordination or the common proceeding of appointment, confer eloquence of tongue or pen upon the chosen one. Inspiration of the literary sort may be natural or supernatural, but it cannot be conferred by a majority vote or even by the laying of hands. Foy regrets now that Brownson asked (Henry J.) Spaunhorst for a paper and hopes he will definitely refuse, because he expresses his repugnance to the task and is painfully conscious that he has not the requisite literary equipment for writing a paper. Although Foy has promised to aid him, he cannot see his way to do him or his paper much good. He has no objection to a paper on the Catholic press—weekly, monthly and quarterly-—nor to the writer Brownson names. Foy hopes he will have the courage to point out the shortcomings of the weekly newspapers. Most of those that Foy is acquainted with are poorly edited, so badly edited that their claim to Catholic support is sheer impudence. There are however some weeklies published in New York and Philadelphia worthy of general support, and doubtless others published in other places equally meritorious. Ther is too much Irish politics in all of them. Foy encloses (William J.) Onahan's letter. He does not like the idea of being bull-dozed into any course by outside authority. No one wishes more for harmony, but Foy insists that the lay congress be left mainly to laymen.

(Huffer,) Estelle: Baden-Baden, (Germany)
to (James F. Edwards):

It pulled their heart strings to have Edwards leave so soon. She is glad Edwards enjoyed Strassburg so much. The Fort gives some idea of the strength of the German army. She hopes the weather is pleasant at Lucerno. Fast travelling is not good for Edwards.

He thanks Edwards for his welcome note sent through his brother Leo (Huffer). He is glad that Edwards enjoyed his stay in Germany. (Note: The remaining 3 pages is a rough draft of a letter in Edwards' hand continuing the story of Brother Seraphin begun on the back of Father Clement Lau's letter of July 10, 1889 to Edwards. Edwards tells of his trip to Europe.

Spaunhorst, Henry J.: St. Louis, (Missouri)
to (Henry F.) Brownson: Detroit, Mich(igan)

Friends he has spoken to about the invitation so kindly tendered him unanimously urge Spaunhorst to accept and he has concluded to do so. He will perforce be short, as his time is very much taken up until he gets through his Society matters in Cleveland and Katholiken Tag in September. Some newspaper men are not well pleased because they were not put in the front, but since the Congress is to be one composed of laymen there will certainly be no objection to the newspaper men taking a hand. They certainly will have full recognition by resolutions. Such little pettyfogging differences will cut no figure. The object is too great, too important, to be hurt by any egotist, who ever he may be.

Seton, Monsignor Robert: London, (England)
to (E)Liz(abeth Seton: New York, New York)

Perhaps Will has acquainted her with his peregrinations. Nowadays the prestige of foreign travel is gone. He expects to leave in a couple of days. Just around the corner is the ugly little old church of St. James where they used to hear Mass 33 years ago when they stayed in Cavendish Square. From what Robert has seen, English High Society is the most money worshipping in the world. There are now two brewers in the peerage and baronets are taken from every condition in life. He went to Richmond yesterday; he drove to Petersham to see the tomb of Agnes and Mary Berry. There are many people of quality buried all over the little cemetery. He went to Chiswick to see William Hogarth's tomb. Last week he went to Greenwich, walked in the park and around the Observatory. Other days he went to Hampton Court and to Chelsea to see the church where Sir Thomas More worshipped and the tomb of Sir Hans Sloane. He sends love to Nina and Temple.

Clarke, Richard H.: New York, (New York)
to Henry F. Brownson, Chairman: (Detroit, Michigan)

Clarke thanks the Committee on papers to be read at the Catholic Congress in November for the honor they have conferred on him in selecting him to read the historical paper on "What the Catholics have done in the last 100 years." The could have selected a more competent one for this task, but regarding it as a duty of the laity to cooperate in this good work, deferring to the judgment of those clothed with the selection and with a will to do his best, Clarke accepts the invitation and thanks Brownson personally for his kind and intelligent communication.

Clarke, Richard H.: New York, New York
to Henry F. Brownson: Detroit, Mich(igan)

Having taken up his residence for the summer at Long Branch, Brownson's letter as Chairman of Committee was a day or two late in reaching Clarke. He sends his answer herewith. He would like to know what subjects have been chosen for papers, who have been selected to prepare them, and whether any paper will relate to the colonial period or the work of Catholics prior to the 100 years. If Clarke understands Brownson's remarks, while the work of Catholics in literature, science and art is not excluded, it is not especially called for. He would be pleased to receive any suggestions from Brownson or any other member of the Committee. Was Mrs. ( ) Ellet, who wrote three volumes on The Women of the Revolution a convert? Does Brownson think that some preparatory remarks in relation to the time prior to the 100 years would be appropriate in case there is no paper relating especially to that period?

Coudert, F(rederic) R.: New York, (New York)
to Henry F. Brownson: Detroit, Mich(igan)

Coudert has Brownson's note of the 20th requesting him to write a paper to be read at the Catholic Congress in Baltimore next November on "the position of the Holy Father, the necessity of his independence in the exercise of his rights and duties." He regrets his inability to comply with this request, as he is about to leave for Europe with the expectation of being absent until the latter part of September, and will therefore be unable to devote the necessary time and thought to the preparation of such a paper. The subject is one bristling with difficulties, and he would not be willing to express himself upon the questions involved without full opportunity to mature and express his views.

Stoddard has just returned from a cruise up the Thames River to Oxford. The Ave Maria is much better looking. The books Hudson is sending Stoddard are what he needs. He doesn't want a Browning introduction. Stoddard has seen a photograph of Father (Joseph) Damien (De Veuster) taken before he sailed for Hawaii and will attempt to get a copy for Hudson.

Dutton, (Ira B. ) Joseph: Kalawao, Molokai, Sandwich Islands
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Looking over Father (Joseph) Damien (De Veuster's) effects with Father Wendelin (Moellers), Dutton learned that he had not sent Hudson anything. Dutton laid aside two interesting little things for Hudson and (Charles Warren) Stoddard, but he awaits information as to what privileges they will have for sending all such things so as not to violate restrictions by the Custom House. He encloses four pieces of interest, two pieces of an old cape and two parts of his old Missal mark. Father (Lambert) Conrardy is still ill. He intended to take a streamer for Honolulu, but changed his mind last night and did not go. Mr. Sinnott of St. Louis, "Brother James" has departed going either to Australia or America. The Board of Health sent him away, he did not fit very well. Mother Marianne hopes to have some of her sisters located there soon. Dutton has charge of the Boy's Home with its one hundred and two inmates. Dutton has a German leper to assist.

Onahan, William J.: Chicago, (Illinois)
to The Catholic Laity of the U. S., the Call:

On the occasion of the Centennial anniversary of the establishment of the Catholic hierarchy of the United States, there is proposed also, a Catholic Congress. It is a good opportunity to show the unity and loyalty of American Catholics in a gathering without reference to national or local lines. The project of the Congress has the sanction of Cardinal Gibbons and and other leading men of the Church. Preliminaries have been agreed on. The Congress will meet on Nov. 11 and 12. Capable writers will be prepared to read papers on leading topics. Then general discussion will be invited. The titles of the papers will be announced before hand. The Congress is designed to be free to all Catholics, but membership limitations will hold attendance to leading Catholics, who will secure cards from the bishops of their dioceses. Those desiring to attend will make the necessary applications for introduction. Coincidentally, with the Centennial Celebration and the Congress, will occur the formal opening of the Catholic University of the United States at Washington, D. C. The American Catholics recently have shared in the celebration of the Centennial of the establishment of the government. With the same spirit, they are called upon to join in celebrating this other anniversary, and show the unity of their religious faith. List of names of laymen in charge by cities follows.

Foy, Peter L.: St. Louis, (Missouri)
to H(enry) F. Brownson: Detroit, (Michigan)

Foy has hardly anything to say in answer to Brownson's letter of the 26th. Between an "advisory committee" and a "supervisory committee" there is simply the difference between tweedledum and tweedledee. But Foy does not blame Brownson for assenting whether tacitly or expressly to the creation of one or the other. Why should there be any secrecy about the matter of this committee or why should the existence of an episcopal committee to inspect the papers be clothed with the mystery of a semi-secrecy. The fact cannot long be disguised. Foy has no opinion to offer as to who should be put on that committee and can only dimly dwine the object of it all. Certainly it cannot be any apprehension on the part of (James) Cardinal (Gibbons), Archbishop (John) Ireland and Bishop (John S.) Foley that lay matters would express heretical ideas. That hypothesis is too absurd-if absurdity admits of qualification. Under the circumstances Brownson could hardly have done, otherwise. However he should notify his writers in a delicate manner that the papers will be subject to inspection by a committee of learned and pious bishops who will practically have a veto power over them. This power eliminates from the movement its vital and creative idea but nevertheless the writers should be informed of it. There can be no free spontaneous utterance of lay Catholic sentiment when the papers must be shaped to coincidence in line and identity in color with stereotyped patterns. But let that pass and make the best possible of the circumstances. Noone is more disposed than Foy to back up His Eminence, but the trouble is that he or at least those who speak in his name fear to give anything of a free rein to the laity. But as Foy has told Brownson before, he does not feel called upon to champion the original project of a lay Congress, when those who originated it have in a measure been coerced into accepting modifications incompatible with the original plan. What is to be done now is to aid in giving as creditable as possible an appearance to the Baltimore meeting and to lay the foundations of a permanent organization which shall be the organ of Catholic sentiment in this country. Foy does not know who (Frederic R.) Coudert is nor his vies on the Temporal Power - nor does Father (J. J.) Hughes. Brownson did well to write him - that is, had no alternative underthe circumstances. If he refuses, write to (Charles J.) Bonaparte. Brownson might ask (Archbishop Ireland) to name the writer of the paper on temperance. The Stronger it is the better, for in that case the advisory committee will probably quarrel over it. Let the bishops have full swing since they mistrust the laymen and insist on clipping their wings. Foy does not believe that story about Bishop (Martin) Marty. There was not a single dissenting voice in Detroit when the proposition to conduct the proceedings of the Congress in English was before the Conference. Foy spent a few days last week over in Saylor's Springs, Illinois, but did not like the place. He was trying to find out something about Coudert or would have written sooner, though have had hardly anything to say, not having heard from (William J.) Onahan or having seen (Henry J.) Spaunhorst. Father Hughes tells him that the Congress is a subject of growing interest in Catholic circles.
