(1892 Apr.)
Ridder, Herman:
(New York, New York)
to Mrs. John Gilmary Shea:
(Elizabeth, New Jersey)
Mrs. Shea's letter of the 13th is at hand. Ridder has yet to learn that a person with $15,000 cash (from) life insurance and $15,000 real estate can be considered in want. Ridder never made an arrangement to pay Mrs. Shea any sum of money and never said so to her or her daughter. Had she been in want, he would have come to her help as a matter of charity. As she is not in need, she has no right to ask anything from him. (On the same paper is a note by Mrs. Shea): Dr. (John Gilmary) Shea did not leave $15,000 life insurance, nor $15,000 real estate. There is barely $15,000 and out of that two mortgages to pay, funeral and doctor's bill, and the 4th volume of the History to get out. Ridder came out to say good-bye to Shea the Wednesday before he died and told them of the contract made some years ago, when, instead of making Shea's salary larger, he made this arrangement.

to (James F. Edwards:
A friend sent him a list of "perverts" from the Church. He was astonished to find the name of Father (Ralph S.) Dewey, S.J. of Philadelphia. Some over zealous friend has sent him the "Converted Catholic" monthly by an ex-priest J. A. O'Connor. He asks if Edwards has heard of it. There may be statements in it that should be refuted.

O'Connor, Denis, Bishop of London, (Ontario):
London, (Ontario)
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
O'Connor received this morning an invitation from the Catholic Club of Detroit to be present tomorrow night at the presentation to Brownson of the Laetare Medal, awarded by the University of Notre Dame. Though he cannot be present, but he will share in the joy of Brownson's many friends who will be pleased to have him received this acknowledgement of his loyalty and services to the Catholic cause. This joy is enhanced in this case by the fact that the man honors the medal. He hopes that Brownson may for many years enjoy this and like honors which are sure to be well merited by his earnest and careful work in a good cause.

Richards, W(illia)m:
Washington, D.C.
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Richards has delayed answering Brownson's last letter in the hope that his essay would soon be published so that he could send him a copy. The Catholic World declined with thanks and "admiration for the work", and the Arena, of Boston, because he is unknown. At last the Catholic Review is bringing it out in three parts and he sends the first part to Brownson. His strongest motive in writing the essay was to attract attention to (Orestes A.) Brownson's works. If Catholic writers would only study his writings carefully, and also (F. W.) Faber's "Creator and Creature" and "The Blessed Sacrament", they would not put forth so many articles with such a weak points in them. The weakest, most dangerous and vicious is the absurd notion that there ever was or could be a natural religion wholly disconnected with the primitive revelation. Yet even (James) Cardinal Gibbons argues in one or two places on that assumption, and so does Father (Reubens) Parsons in his otherwise excellent article on Buddhism. So do the Jesuits and others. Richards hopes Brownson will be pleased with his articles. He wanted to write about the lay movement—(Conde B.) Pallen, (Edmund F.) Dunne, etc.—but he cannot now.

She feels bowed to the ground with a sense of her own iniquities in delaying to acknowledge the receipt of Lire 200. She sends the receipted bill of Carnevale for the two portraits of Cardinals Manning and Ledochowski. The copy of the Healy Portrait of Abbot Smith, Pro-Rector of the American College at the time of its foundation in 1859, is better than the original. She could not but laugh over Edwards' request for her portrait.

Ryan has been ailing for some weeks. He has received notice from a reliable source in Rome that some German Prelates have written to others in Italy urging appointment of a certain priest as coadjutor of Buffalo whose name is not on their list. Ryan has written to Rome that he did not asks for a coadjutor. He considers this interference of those foreign Prelates unbecoming. He asks (Corrigan) to let him know if anything else whould be done, for he will withdraw application for a coadjutor unless they can manage their own affairs.

R(yan), Archbishop P(atrick) J(ohn):
Philadelphia, (Pennsylvania)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
In his note to (Corrigan), Ryan promised to write to the Archbishops of Chicago, Cincinnati and New Orleans, which he had done before he received (Corrigan)'s second note. He hoped (Corrigan) might write to the others. Two reminders will do no harm. The only thing that could be interpreted as an approval was the fact mentioned by Cardinal (James) Gibbons, that Archbishop (John) Ireland offered to give up the Faribault plan if they disapproved of it, and they were silent. R(yan) does not remember hearing this as it may have been said while he was absent from the meeting, called out by a message from Bishop (John Lancaster) Spalding who wanted to give in his chairmanship of the Catholic Congress. R(yan) wishes (Corrigan) would send a copy of the English translation of the proposed letter. R(yan)'s delay was caused because he hoped to hear from Archbishop (Peter Richard Kenrick) of St. Louis as to where he would spend his summer vacation. When R(yan) told the aged Father M( ) of Brooklyn of the appointment of Father (Charles Edward) McDonnell as Bishop of Brooklyn, he seemed to take it pretty well. McDonnell's appointment is an admirable one and he will succeed in every way.

It seems to Ryan that something should be done at Rome to prevent foreign Prelates from meddling in American ecclesiastical affairs. Ryan thinks no respectable Polish Prelate should have anything to do with the so-called Dr. ( ) Wolff.

to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Clarke has heard with delight that the University of Notre Dame has conferred upon Brownson the Laetare Medal. Nothing could have been more fit and appropriate. Graceful as the compliment is, it has been well won, and Notre Dame has honored itself while honoring Brownson. His services to religion, Catholic literature and thought, and to good citizenship have never been adequately rewarded, and if his experience tallies with that of others, never will be. The address he made to the president and professors in receiving the medal was full of rich and valuable thought. Notre Dame has a wonderful ability in finding the right man.

He agreed with his statement of the education question, which he boiled down into a small compass, yet perfectly satisfactory, more acceptable than the long logomachies of other writers. He asks if Brownson would object to his copying his remarks and sending them to some paper for publication, with or without his name. He asks if Brownson noticed just before Archbishop (John) Ireland left for Rome the trouble between (Conde B.) Pallen, (Edmund F.) Dunne and others on one side and Ireland and others on the other, involving not only the school question but the laymen's action at the next Convention, and asks if there is likely to be any trouble growing out of it.

Richards, W(illia)m:
Washington, D.C.
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Richards has arranged for the first part of his essay to reach Brownson. The whole essay should be in a pamphlet—many would benefit from reading it. If its points had been presented to Richards when he was seeking for the truth, his progress would have been more rapid into the Catholic Church. He asks if some "Truth Society" would publish it. The inside history which Brownson gave him of the lay convention three years ago and of the present status of things pertaining to the next one was new to him, and his interest was increased by reading the significant article from the Civilta Cattolica reproduced in the Freeman's Journal of April 9th. If the statements made therein are true, he does not see how the Pope is going to sustain Archbishop (John) Ireland. He was glad to get the Detroit News with Brownson's interview on the school question and has sent it to his brother to make use of. He was pleased that Brownson approved his essay and regrets at the same time his ignorance of languages.

Seton, Father Rob(ert):
Jersey City Heights, N(ew) J(ersey)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Seton hears of so many Catholic writers who have to betake themselves to non-Catholic periodicals to get a hearing that he gets discouraged. As for any other Catholic periodical except the Ave taking notice of anything he or his brother William might invite, he is not aware of it. He feels particularly grateful to the Ave Maria.

He has just returned from a lengthy chat with (James G.) Blaine. Carroll fears Blaine's days on earth are numbered; he is very pale and is lacking in that fire and vigor of former days. Blaine made numerous and kindly inquiries about Ford; if there is any favor Ford desires, Carroll is sure it could be obtained through Blaine. Ford should not say anything about Blaine's health as he doesn't want it spoken of. Ford should come to Washington if there is anything he wants. He sends his kindest regards to his sister Ellen (A.

Hennessy, Father P(atrick):
Jersey City, (New Jersey)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Hennessy regrets that on Brownson's last visit he was not informed that he was in the parlor and he did not know this until he discovered his card. He hopes Brownson will overlook this seeming slight and that the next time he comes East he will call and dine. He wanted to ask him what progress he was making with the life and letters of (Orestes A. Brownson), whether he has completed the contemplated book on philosophy, if the additional volume of the work is ready yet, and of what he thinks, and what his father would have thought, of Archbishop (John) Ireland's school plan.
