to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson's letter came this noon. How stupid of Stoddard to send Hudson's letter to Indianapolis but he has two new friends there, James Whitcomb Riley and Meredith Nicholson, who write often. Two days ago Stoddard led Mrs. ( ) Ladd, whose husband died in Europe two years ago, to the altar of St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington. Is it not absurd-Stoddard as matchmaker?

Starr, Eliza Allen:
(Chicago, Illinois)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Can not Hudson suggest to Father (Reuben) Parsons to take up Isabella of Castile and the Inquisition? The mention of Isabella seems to paralyze Catholics. In the Catholic Review for Nov. 29 (Mary E.) Meline speaks of having such articles appear. She wrote Starr about an Isabella University in Washington.

Tiernan, F(rances) C(hristine Fisher):
Ahualulco, (Mexico)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Tiernan has followed Hudson's advice in writing to (H. S.) Kilner. She has offered the story for a cash price. She has long lost the desire to see herself in print. It is necessary to write the name of the state, Jalisco, on her letters. The little town is decorated with laterns and lights in honor of the Immaculate Conception. The piety, devotion and labors of all the priests of Mexico whom Tiernan has met are beyond praise.

Clarke has written a complete and convincing account and established for history the truth of the circumstances of Dr. (Silliman) Ives' death. When the question was first put to Brady by his convert friend, he had no idea of publishing the answer. But Brady now thinks the evidence he has should be made known everywhere. Clarke's intentions have been recommended to the Holy League.

Ward, Rev. Julius H.:
Brookline, Mass(achusetts)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Brownson's note got mislaid in the rush of things. Ward will be glad to give his best attention in the Herald to the Life of Columbus when it reaches him. The Transcript and the Literary World, both of Boston, should have copies of the book, which would be likely to receive appreciative notices. Ward agrees about the necessity of religious instruction in the public schools, but it is hard to bring about. Boston is in the hotbed of the discussion, and Ward is not allowed to write on the subject in the Herald. The policy is that the public schools are state schools and that the state is not appointed to teach religion. Many Catholics, as well as Protestants, are not satisfied—and Ward is not, but he does not see the way out. The several religious parties show no disposition to come to agreement, and here the Roman Church stands as a menace on the one hand and the Protestants of the extreme sort are constantly spoiling for a fight on the other. Ward hopes Brownson is making headway with the Life of his father (Orestes A. Brownson). Father (Walter) Elliot, C.S.P. is doing well in writing the Life of Father (Isaao T.) Hecker and Brownson's father frequently crosses his path. Ward's wife and daughter wish to be remembered to Brownson, and his daughter Mary is now his emanuensis. He met Archbishop (John) Ireland recently in Boston and was much pleased with him. He also had a long talk with (James) Cardinal Gibbons in Baltimore last spring on soon church matters. He hopes he will soon have the pleasure of entertaining Brownson.

S(toddard), C(harles) W(arren):
Washington, D(istrict of) C(olumbia)
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson will have parts 2, 3 and 4 of the Legend of Lanai at once. Stoddard cannot sleep and is desparately blue. They have no vacation at Christmas or Easter. That infernal old blowhard A(rch)b(isho)p (John) Ireland is said to be responsible for this triumph of idiocy. The proper place for him is in some wild-west combination. The children are outraged; the professors disgusted and the whole concern sinking into obscurity. Stoddard is satisfied that Catholics will never have a university and don't deserve one, for they have not the slightest conception of the idea of one. (John Henry Cardinal) Newman is the only Catholic who has ever had one ray of intelligence regarding the organization. He had it because he was born out of the Church.

Hudson may rely on her for some "Chats" next year. Mannix wishes she could write like Christian Reid. Mannix sees there is a limit in Hudson's prospectus of a possible magazine for children. Brother Lawrence called the other day. He is nice, but she likes Brother John (Chrysostom?) better. Mr. ( ) V( ) is far from the fold. Mannix is afraid he may commit suicide.

His trip to Boston was rather a burden. It took 18 hours and the buffet car failed them. On the way back Stoddard spent a quiet day in New York with (Reginald) Birch. Bishop (John J. Keane) produced a clipping from a Washington paper containing verses of Stoddard lately in the Current Lit(erature) entitled " A Toast". The verses read at a bachelor dinner have crept into print. A foul minded woman saw something nasty in them and has frightened the Bishop. Stoddard never wrote anything more innocently and yet the Bishop has pronounced them "lascivious". Stoddard's mind is not yet corrupted and his imagination is not tainted. He has concluded that the only safe way to escape the annoyance of the curious crows is to publish nothing at all.

Notwithstanding the kindness shown Howley by the people, he cannot come to an arrangement with the Bishop. His position is a strained one. His late Propaganda letters sent him here and declare his right to be of this diocese. But the Bishop (Thomas J. Power?) will not pay any attention to them. Howley would like to return to Notre Dame and help it any way he could. Propaganda would approve such a project. If Hudson would mention this matter to Father General (Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C.) it would be a favor. Howley is busy getting out his memoirs of Bishop John T. Mullock and writing for a Christmas number of a paper.

He is sending nothing this year; he cannot afford it. Stoddard cannot get to work on the concluding part of the Legend of Lanai before next week. The faculty have kicked and there will be no lectures on Friday and Saturday following Christmas. What we need is another reformation to get rid of the idiots.

Now the Irish have superseded them, and not for the better. He can remember St. John's in 1843. W(illiam) has been amused by what "Life" says of Ward McCallister's book on N(ew) Y(ork) society.

Hechinger, A.:
Lockport, N(ew) Y(ork)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Hechinger is just reading "Harmony between Science and Revelation" and finds Dr. O(restes) A. Brownson mentioned, though he has none of his books in his library. Years ago he was glad to hear he had joined the Church and was grieved to hear from (Father John Madden), pastor of St. Mary's Church, Rondont, N. Y., in 1858 or 1859, that he disregarded the abstinence on Fridays publicly, accompanied occasionally with remarks. A few years later when there was a plan to make up a subscription or donation for him and Dr. (Edward) McGlynn was at the head of the committee or one of the directors, it was brought up that Brownson in his Review denied or questioned the eternity of hell or the pains of hell. When asked, some would avoid the question, to save him; others would get excited; but no one would say in plain, direct, unmistakable words that he retracted. About the year 1872 Hechinger was in Elizabeth and Father (Michael E.) Kane, then pastor of the Church where James Corrigan lately died, proposed to introduce him to Dr. Brownson, who was then blind and residing there but afterwards neglected to do so until too late. Several years ago, Hechinger was unable to get "The Convert". He has heard much criticism about Dr. Brownson and he would like to have Brownson clear his father of these charges.

He does not know how to credit the excuse given by their Kentucky friend whether she was one of the conspirators or not. It seems there is no end to Lamar's trouble. There is more than he wishes to put on paper.

After the holidays, Stanfield will send some articles for the Ave Maria. Hudson can understand why she cannot think of a foreign trip. If Howard's (Stanfield) trouble was so distressing when with friends, what would it be among strangers?

Molokai, (Hawaii)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, (C.S.C.):
Notre Dame, Indiana
Hudson's regards for Mother Marianne were conveyed. She and the sisters are getting along nicely. Dutton has not been sick a day since coming there. (Elizabeth)Harper has been very kind in keeping them informed of one another. She and her sister Mary (Harper) are the remnant of an old Catholic family. They are in good circumstances and give their lives to charitable work. Mother Judith's card expresses thanks for the Ave Maria. January 6: They have about 1225 people, the highest number ever. Dutton sends kind regards to Dr. (John B.) Berteling. Hudson has probably heard the last of "Sister Rose Gertrude." She is now Amy C. Fowler, governess. King Kalakaua is rusticating in California. Does Hudson work in any way with Father M(ichael) J. Lavelle of New York? He is doing great work among young men, and is an old acquaintance.

Munson received Ford's letter of the 19th and would have answered sooner but he felt that the letter merited more than a hasty reply. He will not take time to give his reason for declining Ford's offer because it would only be to discuss a question of values. The price set on the (New York Freeman's Journal) is too high.

Shea, John Gilmary:
Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Christmas Eve and he sends his best wishes for the season. A trip to Baltimore nearly prostrated him utterly. The sense of waning health and failing eyesight turns his thoughts to serious preparation for the close of a long life. He is thankful that there can never be a doubt as to his faith. Documentary material becomes very fragmentary and but for Edwards' labors would be very scanty. His third Volume is nearly through the press. He hopes to add to Edwards' collection and gallery. His whole family often speaks of Edwards as one dear to them all.

He asks God's blessings on Edwards for his attempts to forestall the ultimate destruction of Shea's materials. Since his return from Notre Dame, his health has deteriorated. His thoughts are turned to preparation for the close of an unexpectedly prolonged life. His trip to Baltimore yielded little. Documentary material henceforth becomes very fragmentary. His third volume is nearly through the press and he hopes to see a bound copy by the first of January. The publication will require the expen se of time and letter writing on his part, but he will subsequently be able to plan for future work. Mrs. Shea and the girls have coughs and similar winter troubles.

Kinchley, Mrs. M. E.:
Augusta, G(eorgi)a
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Some time ago Kinchley saw an article in the Ave Maria stating that Father W(illia)m Hamilton was the only clergyman of this city who attended the prisoners at Andersonville, Georgia. The following correspondence from a paper of the time it was published shows that statement to be incorrect.

Townsend, E. D.:
Washington, D(istrict of) C(olumbia)
to Father Peter Whelan:
Washington, D(istrict of) C(olumbia)
The Secretary of War (Edwin McMaster Stanton) requires that Whelan's account for money spent for the relief of prisoners at Andersonville be sworn to before being paid as there is no other evidence of the amount.
1866 May.21
Whelan, Father Peter:
Macon, G(eorgi)a
to E. D. Townsend:
Washington, D(istrict of) C(olumbia)
Whelan proposes to answer Townsend through the press and lay the matter before the public. Whelan wrote to the Secretary of War soliciting him to refund $400 to enable him to pay Henry Horne of Macon, Georgia. Whelan borrowed of Mr. Horne $16,000 in Confederate money to aid the Federal prisoners at Andersonville, many of whom owe to Whelan the preservation of their lives. Whelan repaid Horne, but not through the generosity of Stanton. Last March Whelan was taken down with a severe attack of congestion of lungs contracted at Andersonville. The Federals at Macon and Andersonville were attended only by Catholic priests. Father Hamilton attended the Federal officers confined at Macon. Whelan was aided at Andersonville by Father (John) Kirby of Augusta, Father ( ) Clavrell(?) and a Jesuit priest of Springhill College. His motive was not money. It was to allay misery and gain souls to God. If Mr. Stanton had possessed a particle of gratitude he would have refunded the $400 when solicited.

Hudson may find matter in the enclosed 3 page notice of Edersheim's work for a paragraph. Hudson will be interested in the outcome of their subscription to build a memorial chapel at Louvain. Jenkins calls Hudson's attention to their improved Poor Soul's Advocate. The subscription lists for the two editions is over 10,000 but the English edition reaches but a fourth of the whole list. If Hudson sees anything seriously affecting the vitality of the last three numbers, Jenkins asks him to point it out candidly.

Seton, W(illiam):

Jersey City, New Jersey)
This morning came Robert's letter of the 13th. His Freeman's Journal missed several times and he did not see the account of Robert's address at the Irish meeting, also he is to send his lectures in January on archaeology. Sally wants to read them. Poor Louis (Joseph) Sands! The curse of speculation has perhaps ruined him. Old Dr. (Orestes A.) Brownson was to W(illiam) a far more interesting man than all the Goulds and Vanderbilts. They received today Mrs. Drexel's cards to the wedding; they are glad Robert went. W(illiam) has made the acquaintance of the Professor of Science at Tours Lycée. Sally is doing so well here that as long as she likes it they will stay. They went to St. Patrice where the bush still lives under which St. Patrick took shelter in a snow storm. Robert is very good to attend to the dear graves at the "Mt." Mr. Gill is now in Paris.

Schulte, Father B. A.:
Templeton, Iowa
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Schulte congratulates Brownson on the courage and manliness manifested by him in compiling and publishing "The Religion of Ancient Craft Masonry". He has read the works of Leo Taxil and asks if Brownson has read "Satan & Compagnie, Association universelle pour la destruction de l'ordre social", written by Paul Rosen, a high French Mason, and dedicated to Pope Leo XIII. It seems mysterious how priests and even bishops can entertain such mild opinions of masonry in the face of all the documentary proofs to the contrary. In Minnesota a Catholic priest invited his parishoners to become odd Fellows, for it would greatly serve to enlighten their minds and cultivate their manners. Odd Fellowism is the ante-chamber of masonry and Schulte suggests a similar pamphlet on it. He proposes an international anti-masonic League to be formed at the Catholic Congress of 1893 and has already a beautiful badge in petto. He wishes to correspond with Brownson until they can agree on a plan to be approved by the bishops and Pope Leo XIII and is willing to give his life to his project. P.S.: He asks Brownson for the present to be somewhat discreet concerning this matter.
