He finds it impossible to attend the meeting of the (Columbian) Catholic Congress executive committee; he is in bed with the grippe. He recommends that Thomas F. Ryan, Charles J.

He speaks of the problem of appointing a speaker on the subject, and suggests that Cardinal (James) Gibbons make the selection. Onahan should bring this up most judiciously, perhaps telling Archbishop (Patrick A.) Feehan about it and letting him make the suggestion to forestall too much discussion of the matter.

She is the eldest daughter of the late Monckton Synnot, son of Captain (David) Synnot, who was the son of Sir Walter (Synnot) and Lady (Jane Seton) Synnot. Her husband Doctor (D.

When her little girl and she were almost starving in London while her husband was recovering his mental faculties, she wrote to their Bishop's wife and the answer was cold in the extreme. Dr. Reid too is related to the Setons. They want introductions as Dr. Reid is so very much better she wants to get him into practise again. She often hears from Mrs. Parker G.

Elder, William Henry, Archbishop of:
Cincinnati, Ohio
to W(illia)m J. Onahan:
Chicago, (Illinois)
The Archbishop does not remember receiving a request to appoint a Congress Committee. He does not wish to name any one to do a paper for the Congress, since he knows of no competent person. He asks how many should be appointed for the Congress Committee, and what the duties shall be. Patrick Poland should be a member; he is able but unwilling to write a paper. P.S. Onahan is to send circulars and instructions in regard to the Catholic Education Exhibit.

to H(enry) F. Brownson:

Brownson is wrong in saying that he is being charged the retail price; he is being charged the net price. On prayer books, lives of the saints, he will receive the regular discount. It is possible to allow the net price only to business houses and small distributers, the prices are so low. Nevertheless Brownson's request will be complied with and he will be given in the future a 15% discount.

He received the check for $250. It will take most of what Paul has left to pay for his funeral expenses. They concluded that the body was robbed while laying on the sidewalk after it was carried out of the hotel. He will not part with "The Connoisseur" unless compelled to sell. He suggests that Gregori paint a portrait of Paul.

For permission to photograph the paintings at Notre Dame. He is to apply to the librarian there. The librarian (James F. Edwards) has two sets of negatives which he will sell at cost. Provided they are used as he indicates in his letter, the permission to photograph the originals will be readily granted. If he fails to get what he wants at Notre Dame, he will consider his copying those in his edition.

Seton, Mgr. Robert:
Jersey City Heights N(ew) J(ersey)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, (Indiana)
Confidentially he feels that he has been undersevedly neglected. But Notre Dame has shown him more attention than any of the Jesuit Colleges, although the Society has never had a better friend. It is said that the Jesuits court only those who can be of service to them. The present public dispute is most disgraceful. Seton's sympathies are not with Archbishop (Michael Augustine) Corrigan and his insolent entourage. To think of the shameless impudence of (Father John S.) Braun, the only priest in the diocese who gave trouble to Bishop Bayley. As a Catholic American Seton thinks they ought to accomodate themselves to the customs and educational system of America. Children should be taught the English language. Because Seton defended Bishop (Winandus M.) Wigger against Corrigan, it was that Rome appointed Corrigan bishop over their heads. Seton does not wish his opinions to be published but can be made known privately.

Loughead, Flora Haines:
Santa Barbara, (California)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson need feel no misgivings that Loughead, a Protestant, might feel a wide gap between herself and her work and Catholicism. She was brought up in a strict Protestant community where there was abhorrence of Catholicism. She now reverences the Church and respects the clergy. Her work as a journalist in San Francisco made Loughead acquainted with the extent to which immorality has spread among the wealthy classes. She once had a talk with Father Hugh Gallagher on this subject.

French, C. H.:
Chicago, Ill(inois)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, (Michigan)
French thanks Brownson for his suggestion of the 19th and will act on it at once. Rand, McKally & Co. often buy manuscripts, for such books as they see a dividend in, and Brownson would probably make a trade on that basis. They do not publish and sell on royalty, and would not consider a proposition of that kind. A. C. McClurg & Co. is the important book firm in this country and have on several occasions immortalized an author's work and had it for sale on their counters in four days. Brownson could probably make several kinds of deals with them. S.A. Maxwell is a similar firm and does a similar business. F.T. Neeley, of Rand, McNally, hustles Bill Nye's books at a great rate and books of similar style. Columbus might be too lofty a subject for him. McClurg is the firm to do good business with a good book.

to (Monsignor Robert Seton:

She was delighted to see (Seton)'s handwriting again. Mrs. Stokes(?) forwarded the letter. Her brother's (Hugh G. Halkett) address will always find her. The Church is going to have a mission in the Eastend under her director and she is going to be sacristan and nurse the sick. This mission was the last piece of work on earth of Cardinal (Henry Edward Manning). She is sending (Seton) a paper with the account of the funeral. A niece of the Cardinal and Halkett were the only two ladies in the funeral procession. (Manning) was a true father ever since Halkett's reception into the church. Her brother is very busy; he is the radical candidate for Chester. As the Conservatives have always had Chester it is doubtful whether he will get in.

to Monsignor (Robert Seton:

He thanks (Seton) for the consoling letter he wrote on the death of his mother. (Seton) too has has a severe trial in the loss of his aged aunt. England has lost its future king and (Henry) Cardinal Manning within a few hours of each other. Manning's death is a blow to Christendom. His name and (John) Cardinal Newman's are almost as much revered by Protestants as by Catholics. Dunlop hopes to shortly send (Seton) an illuminated catalogue of a heraldic exhibition held in Edingburgh. In renovating the old church at Prestanpans over which Doctor Struthers presided, the workmen have found some oak paneling dated 1603 which had originally formed the seat of the Hamiltons of Preston. Dunlop bought the panel to present to his kinsman Sir William Hamilton of Preston who live in England. There were many intermarriages between the Setons and the Hamiltons of Preston. Dunlop hopes to come to the States this summer and will look forward to renewing the friendship inaugurated when (Seton) was there some years ago.

Ennis will be honored in accepting so valuable a book, to receive again for the Society a poor waif of a book that lost its way at the time of the Suppression. He suggests the new and elegant Georgetown (College) Library as a safe repository for any gifts of books.
