She thanks Ford for the beautiful tribute he so kindly paid to the memory of her step-brother, Hugh P. McElrone. She had only seen him twice in the last twenty years, and consequently appreciated what Ford said; McElrone did not waste the talents God lavished on him; nor allow the spirit of the age to contaminate his writings.

Guichainville, le Metayer de:
New York, N.Y.
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Guichainville informs Brownson that a M. Ponce de Leon has shown him a lithographic facsimile of the autograph. He mentions that this signature was found under a work having for title: "Codice Diplomatico Columbo Americano" (Second Edition, published in January 1857). Another one was published in 1867 in Havana illustrated on page 291. Also, that a Samuel Barlow informed Guichainville that these two facsimiles were executed by a man named La Croix, sometimes called "Enrico Croce". Guichainville does not know whether facsimiles of Columbus' letters were made but he can not reconcile the fact that no authorization was given for their production. He is not satisfied with the person recommended by (W. E.) Curtis. However, Guichainville promises him to write to Curtis asking him what day he will arrive in New York. In reference to the "History of Columbus" Guichainville suggests that it may be a continuation of the work of Samuel Barlow. Nevertheless, he counsels Brownson to wait and see. He closes assuring Brownson of his most devoted sentiments.

Seton, W(illiam):
Paris, (France)
to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton:
Jersey City Heights, New Jersey)
He received Robert's letter of August 24. The Home Journal with Robert's account of the heirlooms was very interesting. The Freeman('s Journal) has degenerated into a purely Irish paper. Catholic papers and publications generally are not up to the mark. He regrets that he did not turn to Science long years ago. The new (Catholic) University in Washington is doing nothing for natural science: it will likely remain a huge theological school for fifty years to come. It was good of Robert to send Nell money. (E)Liz(abeth Seton) visited Munich and met Doctor (Joseph) Bach who came from the Tyrol to see her. Isabel (Seton Jevons) and family are still at St. Moritz. Sally (Seton) speaks of visiting Tours to see her friend (Mary) DeLafontaine. W(illiam) met (Rene de) Lespinasse who has nervous exhaustion. His wife is there too. Lespinasse has fallen out with Mr. Navarro.

New York, N(ew) Y(ork)
The Bishops of the Milwaukee Province have petitioned the Holy See for erection of a new Diocese in Wisconsin. They intend to propose as dignissimus a priest of Irish descent, but from outside the Province and not of the liberal tendency of Archbishop (John) Ireland, whose neighbor he will be. Katzer has mentioned the name of Father H(enry) A. Brann, of New York, to Bishop (John) Vertin to be put down as dignissimus, if Corrigan can recommend him. Katzer asks Corrigan to mark his answer private.

to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Sister Hilda (Gallagher) has been in delicate health the past year. To tell Hudson how delightful the summer at Point Pleasant was would be impossible. Does Hudson know two Pittsburgh sisters were at Notre Dame last summer? They were at Torresdale at Mother Katherine's (Drexel) convent. She is in her father's old villa with twenty-six novices and postulants. She is building a convent at Andalusia. They just missed Father Fidelis (Stone, C.P.), who was visiting the Smiths and will carry off Father Maurice Smith, C.P., to South America. They went to Long Branch to visit her invalid cousin, Mrs. A(nthony) J(oseph) Drexel. Her husband (Anthony Joseph) Drexel and Geo(rge) W. Childs drove them around the West End. They were at Manhattanville, N(ew) Y(ork) and found the Superior, M(a)d(a)me Frances Elder to be an old classmate of hers. Father (James A.) Doonan, S.J., was giving the Retreat and Father Francis McCarthy, S.J., was their chaperon. Sister had a long chat with Sister (Elizabeth) Ten Broeck, (R.S.H.) at Eden Hall.

Guichainville, le Metayer de:
New York, N. Y.
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Guichainville informs Brownson of a letter he received from W. E. Curtis. He remarks that it was a singular coincidence that the person whom Curtis mentioned was the same one who four years ago read him an incomplete text. He mentions that the text was translated from the Italian and that he understood it is completely this time in Brownson's work "Life of Columbus". This same person has informed Guichainville that the signature was made by a forger. He points out that the would-be expert intentionally forgot that Columbus wrote two similar letters. Also, that this selfstyled expert was waiting for the document to fall in his hands without any sacrifices or expense on his part. Curtis is going to have a hard time disentangling himself when he (Curtis) finds out that Guichainville knows of his hypocrisy. He ends the letter with the hope of good news and sincere attachement. P.S. Jealousy and her companion Envy are to be found everywhere.

Guichainville encloses a copy of William E. Curtis' letter to Brownson. Guichainville is not convinced about Curtis as yet. He does not accept the authority of Ponce de Leon. He tells Brownson to read attentively the article that he attached on Brownson's work by Tarducci. He suggests waiting for another life of Columbus, perhaps by a Cuban. P.S. He has obtained the copyright under his own name and in three languages and that it cannot be reproduced without his authorization. Also, that due to an excellent contract made with his partner, the autograph is Guichainville's individual property.

(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Stone has been skipping about in a bewildering manner. He has received various letters with sensational intelligence from Rome and South America. He sends some verses of Father Edmund (Hill, C.P.). Hill is innocent but he confides too much in the public. Lately he wrote asking to be recalled from S(outh) America, and a few days later he wrote another letter withdrawing the first. The Argentine mission has recently been transferred to the jurisdiction of the North American Province. It is possible that Stone may not remain long in South America. He expects to sail for B(ueno)s Aires in a month, going via Rome. Hudson might mention in his memento of the dead Fathers John Philip Baudenelli and Gaudentius Rossi who died August 11 and 12.

She sees by the papers that Father Sorin has returned to America. What a wonderful man he is ! She doesn't know where the fathers (of the Congregation of the Holy Cross) have moved to since quitting St. Bridget. She has not forgotten the relic of Blessed Rita di Cascia that Father Hudson asked for.

Heuser thanks Hudson for his kind words in behalf of the Eccl(esiastical) Review. The managers of the Cath(olic) Standard have ignored him. They are not making any money and Pustch and Co(mpany) do not care to enlarge the Review. Heuser will bring it to Philadelphia. Benziger has offered to take it in hand.

O'Brien, Morgan J.:
New York, (New York)
to W(illia)m J. Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
O'Brien has received the "Columbian" and hopes that the news as to the meeting of the whole committee in N(ew) Y(ork) next month is true. Should the sub-committee "on Papers" meet before the general committee? O'Brien has just returned to the city, and will immediately send out notices for the meeting of the sub-committee, if Onahan approves. The committee on "Subjects" consits of Bishops Maes, Foley, Farrelly and Keiley. The late John Boyle O'Reilly has not been replaced on the committee. O'Brien did not feel authorized to write Archbishop Williams to ask him to name M. G. Donahue, but names Onahan, to secure his services at the preliminary meeting. He wonders whether Bishops Maes and Foley can attend both meetings of the General and the sub-committees. The meetings could be held within a few days of each other, but until the committee on organization meets the committee on subjects can do little. Onahan is chairman of the organization committee and Archbishop Ireland, O'Brien, Dormer, and Spaunhorst are members. The date, method of organization, and Call for the Congress were referred to this committee. Some one should communicate with Gov. Carroll to secure his attendance. Onahan's sub-committee is to fix dates for meetings of committees in New York. An early meetings is necessary since it has been suggested that the Congress be held in 1892, and there is no time to be lost. Onahan is asked to give his views after hearing from Western members.

Kelly, William Louis:
St. Paul, (Minnesota)
to W(illiam) J. Onahan:
Chicago, Ill(inoi)s
As the general term of their court convenes Oct. 5th and continues until July, Kelly's opportunities to go to Chicago are limited. He may be able to get off for a day after Oct. 5. He fully agreed with (the Bishop) as to the lines which will be pursued at the next Congress. If the school question and "Kindred debatable questions" are to be left out, Kelly will be pleased. He will vote to discuss social questions, which is a wide field, and not so dangerous.

He is glad Robert was present at the Marquis de Chambrun's funeral. He does not recall the officer, Gates, whose death notice Robert sent but thinks it was their first quartermaster; it is 30 years ago. W(illiam) will write today to (Henry) Ogden and tell him there must be no putting off the sale of Cragdon. (E)liz(abeth Seton) is now in Paris and is staying with Mrs. (Jonathan) Edwards. Sally, Liz, Miss Edwards, and W(illiam) went to the theatre last week. Liz sails on October 17. Sally and W(illiam) will return home in December and stay till April, then back to Europe to escape the summer heat. The C(atholic) W(orld) is not so dignified in its new yellow cover. It is a pity that the magazine is not on a firm basis. He read that the Jesuits were to start a Review in New York. The great need of the age is well-trained Catholics in natural science.
