Alden, H. M.:
Metucken, N(ew) J(ersey)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Alden thanks Brownson for sending him Tarducci's Life of Columbus. In translating this work Brownson has made a valuable contribution to literature, and Alden congratulates him upon the ease and naturalness characterising the style— so that no one would suspect that it is a translation. He is much impressed with Tarducci's work: he gives a reality to Columbus which cannot be found in any other life. One cannot take it up anywhere without being irresistably impelled to read on and on. The charm of the narrative, apart from the, other elements of value which are hidden beneath it, will give the book the success it so well deserves. Alden has often wished to write to Brownson in reply to his kind letter about his "Interpretation", but the theme of Brownson's thoughtful criticism is so broad, deep, and many-sided that he cannot find time to do it justice. It would be more satisfactory to talk with him. He remembers their brief interview with much pleasure.

Guichainville, le Metayer de:
New York, (New York)
to Henry (F.) Brownson:
Detroit, Michigan
He remembers Brownson's visit to the Catholic Club library with pleasure. He received today from Paris from his old colleague Leopold Delisle, Administrateur-General de la Bibliotheque de France, the reply to a letter which he wrote before Brownson came to New York, and sends a copy to Brownson, who may communicate with Tarducci, whose surprise will equal his. He has never heard (Henry) Harisse speak of the work of Columbus. He has written, concerning the ancient title to Spanish America, to Father (Ignatius F.) Horstmann of Philadelphia, who informs him that his Board will have to make the decision. He hopes Brownson arrived safely home from his trip to New York and that he is well.

Delisle, L(eopold):
Paris, (France)
to Guichainville, le Metayer de:
New York, (New York)
Everyone concerned with the letters of Christopher Columbus knows that the piece about which Metayer de Guichainville has written is a forgery. The work of Harisse leaves no possible doubt of that. There has never been an original letter of Columbus in the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Paris.

(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Stoddard encloses a card for (Maurice Francis) Egan's photo. A young student has just left Stoddard. They sat in silence most of the time and listened to Father Leo, a young Benedictine monk who lives over Stoddard and has a piano. Stoddard received Boyle O'Reilly's Life from his wife (Mary O'Reilly). Can Hudson find room in the Ave Maria for a screed concerning the book? Father Leo is now singing "Don't Forget Me" which Roy Stevens used to sing for Stoddard. Frank Millet, with whom Stoddard kept house in Venice in the winter of 74-75, came to see him Sunday. He owns an old Abbey at Broadway, England. He brought Kate Field out with him. Father (John A.) Zahm, (C.S.C.), is there. Stoddard wishes to God he would get out.

Archbishop Corrigan writes that a grand nephew of Bishop (Simon G.) Brute claimes an received every bit of paper which belonged to Brute. Bishop Bayley brought them to New York from Newark. The grandnephew was a Benedictine monknow dead. The papers must be of great historical value.

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The manuscript of "Studies in Church History" has been completed since 1888, but want of funds has prevented the following up of the first volume. Parsons has often thought of asking Hudson to help his exchecquer by allowing something for his writings. The idea of issuance of the book is acceptable to Parsons.

(Written over the letter in pencil, evidently by Grace; He will be glad to see Ford and Egan any time. The news today is that the Government has sunk a ship and the Rebels have captured Caldera and Carizal, both important events and true. No signature.)

Shea, John Gilmary:
Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
In a day or two he will send a memorandum of some papers he would like to examine. His history cost him his position by giving enemies a handle to operate against him. Of the 50 patrons who guaranteed the cost of printing, 20 are now dead. Temporary aid has helped him from going under. The Catholic Historical Society has been trying to buy his library. If the Committee secures him 500 subscribers at $5 per volume, Shea will agree. It is a sacrifice but he would be able to consult it. He intends to retain duplicates and present them to Edwards and then go in steadily to build up the department of American Catholic history for Edwards. Edwards stock of newspapers covers the ground most difficult to fill. It will be some time before he can tell whether the plan succeeds practically.

Shea, John Gilmary:
Elizabeth, (New Jersey)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
In a day or two Shea will send a memorandum of some papers he would like to examine, as the work on his book progresses. He would like to see the letters of Bishop Dubois and Archbishop Hughes, and any letters of Archbishop F.P. Kenrick and Bishop Reynolds of Charleston. His History cost him his position by giving his enemies a handle to operate against him. He is seriously embarrassed. Of the fifty patrons who subscribed for $50 twenty are dead; three refused to continue. Shea hopes to make the work pay for itself and give him a return. Archbishop Ireland is too busy to help him at the present time. The (U.S.) Catholic Historical Society in Philadelphia has made him an offer for his Library, but he wants the Library to help the History. In New York he made the offer that if 500 subscribers were secured by a committee of priests and laymen he would put his library at the disposal of the Committee to be kept together. The offer has been accepted by His Grace and some clergymen. Its acceptance would enable his Library to be where he can consult it. He will retain duplicates and several of these are early and rare. These he intends to present to Edwards to help build up his department of American Catholic history. He will have to draw up a catalogue and approximate evaluation of his collection. He requests Edwards to keep the details of his offer a secret. The Catholic University (of America) might have had his collections, and his services in planning and buying for their theological library on the easiest terms, but they did not consider his offer of sufficient importance.

He thanks Edwards for the portrait of Archbishop (John Baptist) Purcell. The earlier photographs with the full face, prominent jaw, firm lips, and the eyes bright with a liveliness both of energy and kindness, are the ones that do most justice. Elder will send his own photograph soon. He would like to know whether Edwards found anything interesting in the letters he took last summer and when he is going to return them.

Stoddard asks Hudson to send him a copy of Mr. Dwyer's lecture on Dante delivered at Notre Dame. After Mass he spent hours with Kate Field. She was the one person who got at Dickens, and she knows stacks of wonderful people. Thank God, Father (John A.) Zahm leaves them after Thursday. The people are on to him there.

to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Flick feels Brownson to be sufficiently interested in the work of the American Catholic Historical Society to warrant him to ask his cooperation in the practical work of the Society. Flick is chairman of the Committee on Publications, which is in charge of the publication of volume 3 of the Records. As they have yet no publication fund, they are compelled to bring out their volumes by the aid of advertisements. He asks Brownson to get him a reliable young man or woman to solicit for him in Detroit and surrounding country. He is willing to pay 30% commission, 15% when the contract is forwarded and 15% when the money is forwarded, and will furnish the dummy and blank contracts. They will get out and edition of 6000, 5000 of which will be circulated at once among Catholic educational institutions and prominent Catholics throughout America, and so feel that they can offer a good medium of advertising. Any assistance Brownson can give will be properly accredited to him.

Corrigan wants Clarke to supply information on the subject that he may transmit to de Meaux.

William has the letter containing the notices of Aunt Kate (Mother Catherine Seton). It is a pity that the papers spelled her name "Bagley". W(illiam) was sorry to hear of Father (Michael) Kane's death; he was not an ecclesiastical bag of wind. He was also sorry to hear of the death of Bishop (Richard) Gilmour; W(illiam) knew him at the "Mount" 40 years ago. Sally (Seton) keeps cheerful and they may stay in Tours another month. He saw a good account of Louis Sands in the "Home Journal" for April 15. W(illiam) is going to write to (Henry) Ogden that he will not consent to keep Cragdon longer than another year. Harry (Seton's) ideas of $150,000 are too wild. If W(illiam) cannot do otherwise, he will bring a suit in Partition.
