Cantwell, Father J(ohn):
Nottingham, (England)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Cantwell thanks Brownson for permitting him to pay for Brownson's Works. With love and admiration for (Orestes A. Brownson) he sends one pound. Brownson will be glad to hear that his sermon from Dr. Brownson's "The Mediatorial Life of Jesus" filled the Cathedral; Bishop (E. G. Bagshawe) was present; the Congregation, who are pious, enlightened, elite, wept; he is told it was the greatest sermon preached here, and it has done good. (Nicholas) Cardinal Wiseman preached here but never took so well. He prays for Dr. Brownson and offers many masses for him and hopes Brownson and he will meet him in Heaven.

Harson, M. J.:
Providence, R(hode) I(sland)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Harson wishes Brownson a happy new year and asks how he recovered from the fatigues of the Congress. Harson had hoped to hear that Brownson would soon pay that proposed visit East. The memorial volume is slow in getting out. He expected to see it two weeks ago. He asks Brownson to send him a copy of the Michigan Catholic containing the account of the Symposium at the Catholic Club. He intended to ask Brownson when in Detroit if their conversation on a Catholic Congress while in New York last winter had anything to do with suggesting the Baltimore Congress. Harson suggests regarding the writings of (Orestes A. Brownson) that the public who have heard of him want to know about the man and his life and desire a fair account and estimate of his writings. When Brownson makes his eastern visit, Harson wishes him to deliver two lectures or talks on this subject at the Brownson Lyceum and the Catholic Union of Boston. Invitations from other societies would follow and satisfactory arrangements made as to expenses.

Johnston, R. M.:
Balt(im)o(re, Maryland)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, (Michigan)
Johnston has consented to give on behalf of the International Copyright League readings in Chicago on the 13th and 14th of this month and it has occurred to him that, if suits Brownson, this would be his chance to make him a brief visit on his return. As they are not paid for this work—being members of the League—he would be willing, the more so because of Brownson's friendly suggestion, to give a reading in Detroit, on the 16th. Perhaps one of the Catholic guilds might let Johnston have their lecture room and divide their benefits with him. He hopes by this means to pay expenses, not counting the free things he would get at Brownson's house, including a night cap of gin with a little sugar and water. He wishes Brownson to tell him if it will entirely suit his convenience; if not, he is not to say a word or crook a finger—or more than it has already been crooked by a Confederate bullet—in the matter of the reading. Their girls went on a visit to friends in New York and New Jersey, and their absence has given him some respite from hearing comparisons between the great Major Brownson and his poor self.

Preston, Monsignor Thomas S.:
New York, (New York)
to Archbishop (Domenic Jacobini:
(Rome, Italy)
Jacobini's interest in the affairs of the Archdiocese of New York induces Preston to lay before him certain facts which may come before the Sacred Congregation. Archbishop (Michael A. Corrigan) is obliged in conscience at this time to prevent the evil influence of Father (Richard L.) Burtsell. As Burtsell is doing much harm publicly and privately in New York, Corrigan proposes to transfer him to a mission in the country. As Burtsell may contest his action and appeal, Preston will lay before Jacobini the facts concerning Burtsell. Preston as Vicar General, is intimately acquainted with all parties concerned. There have been for many years in New York a few priests disloyal to the Holy See. They minimize all the declarations of His Holiness, they are opposed to parochial schools, they have spoken of saying Mass in English and of Americanizing the Church here. These generally laugh at the idea of restoring the Pope's temporal power. Father (Edward) McGlynn was a leader in this party until the time of his open advocacy of socialism. Burtsell has sustained him from the first. Corrigan was obliged to remove Burtsell from the position of defensor vinculi after his public approval of McGlynn's conduct. Since then Burtsell has given approval to the Anti-Poverty Society. This society prevents no poverty but collects money for McGlynn's support. Its grand principle is that property in land is unjust and that all holders of property in land are really thieves. The real purpose of this society is to sustain McGlynn in his disobedience to the Holy See. It has no other object. Corrigan has reserved absolution for the sin and scandal of attending meetings of this society. Burtsell, both privately and publicly, maintains that it is no sin. In the case of ( ) Maguire, the notorious abettor of McGlynn who died suddenly at one of these meetings, he openly declared that Maguire was a Catholic in good standing. A few days ago Burtsell brought the body of a deceased woman into his church with the highest honors after it was deemed impossible to give her a Christian burial. Burtsell has been admonished once by the Cardinal prefect of the Propaganda, but this only excited a laugh from him. Preston feels certain that Jacobini will aid Corrigan when the case comes before the Sacred Congregation. Preston feels (Corrigan) has every right to transfer Burtsell without inflicting upon him any censure. P.S. (Corrigan) knows nothing of the contents of his letter.

For Straniero the new year seems to have begun under no good omen. Mr. (Herman) Ridder wrote that he wishes to discontinue Straniero's correspondence with the Catholic News. Straniero is glad to have nothing more to do with such men. But he needs money and asks Edwards to find for him another newspaper without giving his name, only saying Columbus of the Catholic News. He hopes to see Father General (Edward Sorin, C.S.C.) soon, but sees little chance of good result of his coming. There is great confusion at the Propaganda. Poor Father Lambert got another decree against him favorable to the Bishop. Straniero thinks that if President Harrison would ask a titular Bishopric for Sorin, the Pope would grant it.

He does not understand how the photos were obtained, since he paid a man to go to Molokai to take the picture.

Morrow offers to allow the magazine in which the etching is to be published to use his article on De Veuster. He sends a copy of his paper given before the New York Academy of Medicine.

No responses to formal toasts will be expected and the choice of subject will be left wholly to him. A copy of the last annual report of the Club has been forwarded to Brownson's address. Daly hopes for a favorable response.

The influenza seems to be raging so that he will write to the secretary of the International Copyright League, asking him to write or telegraph towards the middle of the week if enough auditors can be got to make the readings in Chicago on the 13th and 14th a success. It is important that they should be. The tickets, as in New York and Boston, will doubtless be high. Johnston will write or telegraph more definitely in the middle of the week. He would hope, not so much for profits as other reasons, that the tickets in Detroit, if it is found convenient and proper for him to read there, will not be put down as low as twenty five cents, but those who are there will know best. His wife cannot go with him.

Richardson has an inside view of the Mormon question. A handful of settlers have done what the United States government has not done; kept down polygamy. They can do so no more unless the Federal Government ceases to favor Mormonism. The present head of the Mormon Church is (Lorenzo) Snow. Polygamy, Richardson wrote to the State Department, embodies every crime against the home and motherhood. The President must realize quickly that something must be done.

Whenever the Catholic Club in Detroit can see the way clear to invite him, he will go. He thanks Brownson for the interest he has taken in him. He forwarded Brownson's letter to his daughter Ruth. She received an offer from John Brisbane Walker, publisher of The Cosmopolitan, to teach his younger children, and accepted it. The family live at Orange, New Jersey.

Ward, Rev. Julius H.:
Brookline, Mass(achusetts)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Ward is glad to be in touch with Brownson again. He does not now write literary notices in the Times or Advertiser, though he writes frequent editorials in the Times. The papers Brownson should send his report to in Boston are the Herald, the Post and the Transcript. Ward is on the active staff of the Herald and the copy for it should be addressed to him, the Transcript and Post copies sent direct to them. Perhaps the Boston Globe should also be included, as it reaches a large Roman and Irish constituency, while the Herald reaches the best elements in both connections. Ward will give Brownson a column and perhaps an editorial. He should not overlook the New York Evening Post. But outside the papers he mentions in Boston, except for the regular Roman Catholic papers, copies would be thrown away. Ward is deeply interested in the tendency of the Roman Catholic Church to take American positions and is eager to see Brownson's introduction and to read his larger paper. If the bishops and clergy would take more clearly the American position and keep the Church in good accord with American sentiment, a great future is before it and it will have a helpful influence on the country. If Brownson would look into a recent book of his, "The Church in Modern Society", he will see why he says this. His Church and the American Anglican Church are the only religious bodies that have an institutional character. Ward is glad that Brownson is engaged on a memoir of his father (Orestes A. Brownson). He has always felt that it was needed, and when it is out he will be glad to keep in its appreciation by the public. The Rev. Dr. C. H. Leonard, professor in Tufts College, a Universalist knew Dr. Brownson intimately and could give some important reminiscences. His address is College Hill, Mass. Ward will be very glad of confidential, inside points, and if Brownson will send them, he can probably use them in editorials in the Boston Herald, the New York Times, and the Christian Union. Brownson's Church showed up better in the recent Congress than at any time in its previous American history, and Ward said that much in the Herald at the time. When Brownson comes to Boston, Ward wishes he would come directly to his house and stay until he leaves.

Johnston feels much relieved at the receipt of Brownson's letter. As the Chicago readings had been postponed, he could not conveniently have gone to Detroit, but he would have gone if an appointment had definitely been made. He would not care to go— except to see Brownson—unless the Club could ask him with certain cordiality and he could expect to make around $100. He wants Brownson to concern himself no further with the matter and thanks him for his interest. He sends the note of introduction to ( ) Olden, a fine fellow. While in New York Brownson might make acquaintance with John Brisbane Walker, publisher and editor of The Cosmopolitan, a Catholic and excellent gentleman, with whose family his daughter Ruth lives. Johnston is now reconciled to her leaving home, and is almost convinced that it is best for him, if not for all old men, to continue poor and to need to work hard for a living. Mrs. Johnston and Effie have had the grippe; and all remember Brownson cordially. P.S.: Olden lives at Wetucken, New Jersey; if Brownson would like a letter to Walker, Johnston will send one.

Both works were indispensable for his purpose. He willtry to return Onahan's favor in some way. He discusses other books on the Irish. He agrees with Onahan that emphasis is wrongly being placed on style, rather than facts, among modern histories. He has not had time to run over the printed catalogues of Trinity College for works bearing on the History of the United States. O'Hanlon has now enough material for his compendious History, yet he regrets the poor representation of American Authors in Dublin libraries. Onahan is requested to send autobiographical information to O'Hanlon for his book. O'Hanlon has already quoted some of Onahan's articles on Irish American History. He will send the six volumes of his "Lives of the Irish Saints" to Onahan.

Yesterday Franciscus prayed at the place where St. Agnes was beheaded. On the feast of St. Cecilia Franciscus heard he singing of "Cantantibus Organis". On February 2 he will offer the Pope a fifteen pound candle as a mark of respect and submission by the Congregation of Holy Cross. They are still at Santa Brigida. The sisters are in great perplexity in regard to the sale. The count in whose name the contract was made, backed out, which makes it necessary for someone else to take the house in his own name. The sisters found one and await the legal papers from Poland for the final step. Hudson would do the sisters a favor by securing the documents of (Lucido) Cardinal Parocchi, the Mother Superior and Franciscus which are in the hands of Sisters Martha Maher and Sarah Dooley. They were sent by their Superior to America to collect for Santa Brigida. The sisters were ousted from Cork diocese and placed under interdict by the Bishop. They rented a house near Queenstown. The sister sent from Ireland left Brigida after ten days and sent a lawyer to claim money, etc. so that the police looked after her and the Cardinal Vicar got furious. The sisters in America do not know that their house in Ireland has been suppressed. Parocchi has ordered the collections stopped.

Sometimes he feels like a sad old clown, unable to stop his clowning, but it may be best for an old man to have to keep at work to the last. It has been fortunate that since he has been a Catholic he has never had the blues though he has had some griefs, for cause. He is glad to send Brownson the letter to (John Brisbane) Walker and hopes he will be able to get out to see Ruth. Effie has no message for him except her love. He sees that the grippe has carried off Brownson's old friend Dr. (Johann Joseph) Doellinger and that he kept his word about non-reconciliation. Johnston was sorry for it, but supposes he believed himself in the right.

She thanks Seton for his kind reply to her letter and assures him of the great pleasure should be visit her. This house is the property of her second step mother's first husband, James Lawrence, and is anything but a Winthrop or other "Brahminical" habitation. Her father's twenty odd years sojurn after her own mother's early death caused him to gather all his personale around him on the Saxon side of the Atlantic and all her bringing up, like her half-English sisters, was thoroughly English. If it would afford Seton any gratification she would be delighted to show him such a house as he describes, that of her great uncle Robert C. Winthrop who though anything but a Catholic, would welcome Seton. If Seton could signfy when he would be in Boston she would arrange to be at his service regarding her Uncle Robert and her friend, Dr. (Oliver Wendell) Holmes whose encouragement has been one of the keenest incentives at the artistic side of the poetizing. She did not imagine her other friend, J(ohn) B(oyle) O'R(eilly) would kindle a responsive glow in Seton's mind. She is also proud of being a friend of J(ohn) G(reenleaf) Whittier.

Marshall, Robert Seton:
Trinidad, W(est) I(ndies)
to Monsignor (Robert Seton:
Jersey City Heights, New Jersey)
He trusts that Seton will excuse his apparent neglect in not acknowledging his memoir of the Parbroath branch of the Setons. He has delayed writing until he had carefully read the memoir. He is employed here in organizing the local forces. In regard to the memoir: where did W(illia)m Seton get the snuff-box? Did the card counter ever belong to Miss Briggs and what proof is there that it was engraved for the Parbroath family? Marshall's relation, Henry Seton-Karr has a quantity of china with the crescent for a difference but Marshall has not yet been able to connect his Setons with Parbroath. His ancestor, James Seton had a brother John Seton and from him the Seton-Karr are descended. He is inclined to think his branch was connected with Lathrisk. James Seton was a grandson of David Seton, a Burgess of Edinburgh in 1666. If there ever was a man named Dougall he could scarcely have married a daughter of DeQuincy as the dates do not conincide. Marshall doubts there were three Christopher (Setons?). Where did the old dagger come from? He doubts whether John Seton who married the heiress of Parbroath was a son of the Governor of Berwick. He believes the governor was succeeded by a daughter, Lady Seton whom Alan de Winton kidnapped and married about 1347. What is the history of Queen Mary (of Scots)'s portrait from the time she gave it to David Seton? Before Marshall came to the West Indies 2 years ago he pointed out to Geo(rge) Seton of St. Bennets' that in the later editions of Burke's Peerage the early pedigree of the Setons has been considerably altered. Marshall's friend Captain Alex(ande)r D. Seton has a manuscript pedigree compiled by his Uncle Seton of Mounie, a brother of the famous Colonel Seton, hero of the "Birkenhead". This pedigree was used by (Richard?) Maitland; it shows the descent from Alan de Winton. Marshall made every endeavor to find Seton's address when he was in New York during September 1887 but failed. He supposes (Seton) would hear of the death of Marshall's father.

Leonard can only tell Brownson how awed he used to be by the "man of power" as some used to call him, and how he longed to know him. One thing shows his faith in things: Brownson was the center of little gatherings on the ferry boats, in the early days when they were the only means of conveyance to and from Boston. He was full of the motive of the Catholic faith and loved to talk of it to twenty or more persons who were to gather about him. Leonard heard him on one such occasion when his subject was the work of Missions by the Church among the Indians. He knew the facts, told the sacrifices, the denials taken up on the part of the missionaries. He pleaded for the naturalness of the instruments which the Church uses in such missions, the way she approaches the ignorant through the sensuous imagination, the care she takes of her children, the ample provision for all their needs, and her persistence in progressive Christian education. Leonard remembers the array—for he had no data—the results of all the grand work. He remembers too the logic of his talk for he never lost sight of the consecutive sequence of things, nor the cause when he had faithfully presented the effects, as he did in this case. They were made to see and feel that such great and good results came from what is great and good in itself. Leonard recalls a short talk to a few persons in one of the shops of Chelsea on the mental rest which the Roman Church promises and actually gives. Matthew Hale Smith was then preaching in Chelsea for Dr. Langworthy, who was in Europe. Smith had said some things in his superficial way about the Catholic Church and some words about this by the shopman to Dr. Brownson was the occasion for the little talk. Smith had travelled in a circle—if indeed he could be said to have done anything from the point of view of thought. Dr. Brownson took the little man up and snapped him from his thumbs; then he quietly talked of the real rest to mind and heart which the Church gives—not the rest of passivity but of activity. "She does not stultify minds," he roared out, as he peered from the shop to speak to a friend and neighbor. Brownson sees that Leonard has to speak of simple things. He wishes he could have got at and into the great man. He was always stimulating to him even when he could not believe. His style was so strong—grand, idiomatic English—as pure as J(ohn) H(enry) Cardinal Newman's, with more imagination, perhaps. Leonard respects the loving offices of a son who wants to set in order the events in the life of such a father and sincerely regrets that he is so poor a helper.
