Cantwell, Father J(ohn):
Nottingham, (England)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Cantwell's health and constitution are thoroughly broken down as a result of the death of some friends and being done out of some property intended for him. His hand is severely wounded from a razor cut, and he will therefore need a little more time to repay the balance due on Brownson's Works.

Hudson may be able to use the extract from the Japanese maid's composition. Howard (Stanfield)and she are to eat their Thanksgiving turkey in the mountain district of Kentucky. Last evening (Maurice Francis) Egan said Stanfield should put into writing their experience in Kentucky. It was there that at the time of the war her father (Mr. Turner) lost his property and his children gave concerts.

Dunne, E(dmund) F.:
N(ew) Y(ork), (New York)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Dunne is in New York for help on the QuigleyOhio school case. On the morning of October 29 he received a telegram from Father (Patrick L.) Quigley informing him that he had just received from (William J.) Onahan a letter about the meeting of the committee of the Catholic Congress called for that day in New York. Dunne hurried up there and found only Judge (M. W.) O'Brien and (M. J.) Harson, who informed him that the meeting had been called by O'Brien at Onahan's urgent request since Archbishop (John) Ireland had informed him that there would be a meeting of bishops and archbishops in Laltimore about that time for the consecration of the new coadjutor archbishop of Santa Fe; that an informal meeting of the same committee had been held the night before; that Major (John D.) Kiel(e)y, (Jr.), and Onahan appointed a committee to go to Baltimore and see how many of them they could get to come here for the meeting; and that meantime the meeting here had been postponed to Friday, the 30th. At 11:00 on the 30th they met at the Catholic Club, and Kieley and Onahan reported that there were no bishops at Baltimore, except the resident one, who did not come. Since John Lee C(arroll) had not put in an appearance and was in Europe there was a movement for some organization of the committee by which they could get a president, Onahan maintaining that Carroll was chairman, elected by the last Congress and could not be deposed. Dunne had Harson bring in the report of the proceedings of the last Congress, which read simply that on motion of Onahan the name of Carroll had been put at the head of the list. Harson maintained that that did not necessarily make him chairman and the committee agreed. Onahan moved that O'Brien be made permanent chairman, but he declined; Harson moved that Kieley be chairman, which was unanimously adopted and Harson was made secretary. Onahan then made a long report from the Committee on Organization of a complete scheme for the next Congress (the system for delegates Dunne describes) and which also provides that the 13 archbishops of the country be made members of the committee, that the Congress be a social one limited to the discussion of the labor question, including women and child labor, and cognate subjects as called for in the last Encyclical, but carefully worded so as to exclude all discussion on the Temporal power, education, or the school question in the U.S. Dunne was unable to be present at the afternoon session but asked leave to have it recorded in the minutes that he was opposed to the adoption of any report which would shut out discussion of the Temporal power or the school question. This was accepted after he remarked that he would publish his protest otherwise, and make it an energetic one. Returning at 6:00 he found the committee ready to close, having amended the report so as to recommend a social congress or one on the lines of the last, with the Temporal power and the school question to be discussed, and not having adopted the report but referring it to the archbishops when assembled at St. Louis November 30, for their consideration, so as to put the onus on the archbishops of excluding the paper on the temporal power and education, if they choose to do so. After the action by the archbishops the report will then come up for action by the lay members. Harson will try to find out when the archbishops can meet the laymen at St. Louis and the committee is adjourned until then. None of the hierarchy were present at any of the meetings, nor any reporters, but some of the results were given to the press. Dunne gives Brownson this report, not for publication, but for his own personal knowledge and such private use as he may think proper. He is to remain here a month on the Quigley case, conferring with J(ohn) Holland. The Catholic Club gave a formal reception to the members of the committee, at which Archbishop (M.A.) Corrigan was present and at which Dunne spoke and acted as toastmaster.

Guichainville, le Metayer de:
New York, N.Y.
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Michigan
Guichainville again criticizes W. E. Curtis. Curtis has gone to see the autograph and has reiterated that Guichainville's autograph is a forgery—detached from a book. He asks Brownson what he thinks of it and says that he himself would like to see such a forgery on a parchment. The learned Ponce de Leon has been more exact: the two letters which are in Tarducci should be in Genes. Could there be the possibility of a third letter? That would make three, one in the U.S. and two in Genes. He criticizes the Americans for their attitude and action toward this work. He plans to send the autograph to his native country where it will receive its due respect. He also has little hope for his work in the Catholic Missions to Central America under the protection of the United States. He mentions the work of his son in this connection and despairingly says that it is very discouraging to bring things of great value into the United States. The Club is increasing. He assures Brownson of his kind regards and desire to see him.

A board appointed by the Secretary of War has been directed to mark with suitable tablets the positions occupied by the 43 regular organizations of the Regular Army at the battle of Antietam. The positions occupied are to be marked whether the organizations participated actively or not in the battle. Lt. Col. Hayes in the Records Vol. 19 mentions Brownson as Acting Assistant Adjutant General to the Artillery Reserve. Heth asks him to inform him where batteries L and M, 3rd Artillery were located during the day and if located in more than one place, he is asked to suggest where he thinks the tablets marking the positions of these batteries should be placed, directing same as accurately as possible.

The last 3 or 4 years have been almost lost time for John (Foster) Seton) and Willie (William H. Seton). Heredity and Annie's unfitness have heavily handicapped them. The Catholic Quarterly Review has come with Robert's article on the catacombs. He was pleased with the article on (Edgar Allen) Poe, whom he can dimly remember when he was at St. John's; he and his father stopped at Poe's cottage. They will sail on December 5. He called upon Professor (Jules T. Ernest) Hamy of the Trocadero Museum and also on Professor (Albert) Gaudry. Pere ( Auguste) Leroy, O.P. has gone to Corsica. Sally (Seton) has had two letters from Seton of Giggleswick; he writes well. All three boys are above average. W(illiam) must try to see Madame (Helen Bailly) de Barberey again before leaving. He has had nothing late from (Henry) Ogden; he knows W(illiam)'s strong views about Cragdon.

Huntington, (New York)
to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton):
(Jersey City Heights, New Jersey)
She received Robert's of the 18th yesterday on her return from Uncle John Jay's funeral. The special coach was crowded with his connections and there were not enough carriages to take all to the church. Nina Prime and Elizabeth spent the night at Rye where they met all the immediate family. She received a letter from Wil(liam Seton); he sails on December5. The allowance she has been receiving from Uncle Frederick (Prime) is no longer forthcoming. Had Robert not sent her the $30 she could not have accepted the invitation of Nell's (Sister Mary Angela Seton) superior to visit her for Thanksgiving. Isabel (Seton Jevons) tells her that (Henry) Ogden has been very ill which may account for his tardiness.

Brunson, Ella C.:
Lincoln, Nebraska
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Brownson is asked to excuse Brunson's curiosity and to answer a few questions concerning his name. Her grandfather was Ira Brownson of Danbury, Conn. In 1805 he was accidentally drowned in the Hudson River. Her father, the oldest of a family of twelve, after the death of his mother, which occurred a few years later, changed the name to Brunson. In 1835 her father came west and settled at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, where he died in 1882 at the age of 90 years. His name was Alfred, and he had three brothers. Hiram and a pair of twins, Benjamin and Ira. Ira came west with him and Benjamin settled in Kenton, Ohio, where he had a son, Henry. The similarity of names attracted her attention when the circular concerning the "Life of Columbus" came into the State Library. She would be pleased to hear whether they are of the same family.

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
McQuaid sends a cutting to show that Clan-na-gael is not a dead body. This horrible society is divided into two factions. The more moderate met in New York last week presided over by Dr. Casey of Rochester, who finds a complacent confessor and makes sacrilegious Communions. The other faction is headed by A Sullivan of Chicago, who shot down a man in cold blood. Archbishop (Patrick) Feehan knows him well as he dines at the Archbishop's table. Nothing will be done as Cardinal (James) Gibbons, Archbishops Feehan, (Peter Richard) Kenrick, (Patrick John) Ryan, (Patrick William) Riordan, and (John) Ireland will permit no persecution of the Irish. There is little difference between the Clan-na-gael and the A.O.H. All these things will come out one of these days and the American Archbishops will not appear in a flattering light. Some think if the German element gets the upper hand, we would have braver and more Catholic legislation.

Mannix, Mary E.:
San Diego, Calif(ornia)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Mannix wishes she could write the serial story. The smaller one is gradually crystalizing. Will she finish the Chronicles first or begin on Colonel Garesche's memoir? The prospectus has not yet arrived. She is sending some slips about Parnell. Mannix does not think Hudson owes her any money, but if he does she would like as much as he can spare. The California National Bank failed and many depositors are not able to meet obligations on which (John B.) Mannix counted. There was no dishonesty; simply falling off of deposits. The examiner, George O'Brien from Tiffin, Ohio, found $100,000 in the vaults. Mannix saw in an article by Katharine Tynan in "United Ireland" that she thinks the Americans are poor verse writers. Col(onel Elmer) Otis always asks for Hudson. His son, Frank (Otis), goes down to Lower California today with a railroad surveying party.
