to Father Jos(eph) H. McMahon:
(New York, New York)
McMahon is right in presuming his appreciation of the movement for the Catholic Summer School and his promise to cooperate. He has three lectures prepared, on Columbus, Washington, and Goethe. He mentions them because they are ready and would save him the labor of preparing others in this hot weather. As to terms the school should set its own terms until it is properly endowed. He will be absent from June 16 to July 8 attending the annual Convention of American Charities and Corrections at Denver.

McMahon's letter was received and he is pleased that his own letters were in time. They will try to beat down the Pequot man. Many people can pay $15 a week for at least one week. The steamboat is more possible and desirable. He sends a rough draft of a circular. P.S. He hopes that McMahon will retain in the circular the remarks about the lecturers being up with the times and also the word "Republic." He and Mrs. Lathrop are so busy that they have no prospect of visiting New York. He would like to have 500 or 1000 of the circulars for distribution there.

Joynt spoke at both Masses asking those who could take boarders to give their names and rates. They can probably accomodate one or two hundred at low prices. If McMahon has not received the typewritten article on New London he should let Lathrop know. The advisory Committee is contemplating a trip to Lake Champlain to visit proposed sites. Lathrop asks if McMahon can join them for a couple of days. Smith M. Weed of Plat(t)sburg has offered $5,000 towards the purchase of a site on Lake Champlain if they decide to locate there permanently. Lathrop has not been able to prepare a synopsis of his lecture. If cuts are wanted for the article on New London, Lathrop will procure plates.

Lathrop, George Parsons:
New London, Conn(ecticut)
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Lathrop has been preparing to write an article for the Atlantic Monthly, at the request of the Editor, on (Orestes A. Brownson). There are many details which he lacks and he finds little as to his early life, except what appears in "The Convert". He asks Brownson to tell him more about Orestes' father and mother, who they were, whence they came, what their religious belief was, etc.; and he asks why Brownson set out for Royalton so young, what he did when he left there, who the man was referred to on p. 81 who "shared my entire confidence." People have so often written to Lathrop and his wife about her father, Nathaniel Hawthorne, that he knows it may annoy Brownson to have questions put to him, but his only object is to help towards making him better known. He has a chance in The Atlantic to present him and his works to many non-Catholic readers. He must be brief, must summarize much, and cannot begin to do justice to the whole range and depth of his powers and performance, but he will try to convey the intense admiration and appreciation which so many feel for his magnificent achievements and for the splendid truth and faith of his career and character. To this end he wishes especially to make his sketch of his personality vivid and correct, and anything Brownson can send him will be gratefully received. He asks him to write soon and at length, for he wishes to print his article in October, and hopes to see Brownson at the Catholic Summer School in August.

Brooklyn, (New York)
to Father Jos(eph) H. McMahon:
(New York, New York)
She delayed answering his letter of May 18 in hopes of having a formal interview. She called yesterday and found that he was away. She must decline because of the shortness of time. She is interested and will try to encourage interest among her friends. She welcomes the revival of learning which will help to down the opinion that the Church wants them to remain in ignorance. She has labored for some years to stimulate interest in reading. She does not think the choice of New London a happy idea because teachers like sylvan attractions. She is not sure that she can attend but she will be of assistance in any form she can.

Though Ford can not use this in the paper, he should show how Father (Thomas J.) Bouquillon's article on Tolerari is exactly on the lines of the enclosed article from "Oss(ervatore) Rom(ano)," and how it is against the "Civilta (Cattolica)" and Father (Herman) Heuser's interpretation.

(She addresses Seton as) My dear cousin. They are living in a quiet village 34 miles from Melbourne where they have spent the past seven years. Mr. (Reverend Montague) Williams intends taking an 18 months' holiday and having obtained leave of absence from the Bishop they leave this at the end of August. Most likely Mr. Williams will take a trip home to England but she will remain in Melbourne with her son Seton G. (Williams) who is still unmarried. They will leave the parish in the hands of Mr. H.W. Shields, a clergyman from England. Their eldest son Walter (Williams) lives beyond Ballarat. He married Florence Taylor, whose father William Taylor is one of the wealthiest men in Victoria. Walter keeps sheep; Seton is considered a clever and rising young lawyer. Did (Seton) get the sketch she copied for him of Old Mrs. (John?) Seton? Her sister, Mrs. Manifold showed her a letter from Julia Synnot which said they had heard from (Seton) after the death of their brother Seton Synnot. Mrs. Manifold's eldest son William James Manifold married Lucy Nicholson. In 1889 they were in Rome where they inquired after (Seton) from Monsignor (Edmund) Stonor and learned that (Seton) was not in Rome. Some person has taken the third volume of the "Life of Mother Seton" which Seton sent her. If (Seton) has republished she would like another copy. Many years ago she published a little book called "The Language of the Australian Flowers." She will send one if (Seton) would care for it. She has been copying the photos of Ballymoyer; one is a side view. P.S. They had a visit from Archdeacon Hogan of Westbury, Tasmania; he is a great invalid, suffering from his throat. Bishop Murphy sent a young priest to assist at Westbury.

Somebody is greatly to blame for this premature and unauthorized publication. It is better this publication was done by others. They can now talk freely in regard to their letter to the Holy Father. They can use the Holy Father's letter in explanation of the Propaganda's decision in the Faribault case. A dangerous precedent is being introduced by substituting government by Archbishop instead of by Bishops and Archbishops. They have made a mess of the Secret Society business. The roof will be put on the second building of St. Bernard's Seminary in ten days. Does (Corrigan) propose to spend any time at Hemlock Lake? Better he spend the time there than have a breakdown.

She has a lecture on John Boyle O'Reilly which is praised. On the grounds of her subject she could be given preference and the friends of O'Reilly pleased.

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
( ) Lahiff of the New York World presented (Corrigan)'s letter and documents. McQuaid talked freely to him. Some evils are growing unchecked. Among these are the assumption of the Archbishops to legislate without equality of voice and vote by Bishops, the neglect of the Archbishops to act in the matter of secret societies, their attempt to ignore the Baltimore Council on secret and forbidden societies, and the utterance of liberal and dangerous doctrines for the sake of popular applause. Much more might be said. McQuaid is sorry (Corrigan) cannot quit work in July and August.

to Father Jos(eph) H. McMahon:
(New York, New York)
Acknowledging McMahon's letter of June 21 she says that her only information about her lecturing came from (Warren E.) Mosher. If McMahon will look over enclosed letters (no enclosure) he will learn why the misunderstanding arose. She did not ask Father (James T.) O'Reilly, (O.S.A.) to write to Father (Samuel B.) Hedges but the latter was a friend of his and Father (Thomas) McMillan, (C.S.P.) who was on the committee. She had no desire to force herself on the committee. If any of her lectures of which she is sending press notices can be of service they are at McMahon's disposal. She had supposed that Mosher had the power to invite lecturers. She did not answer until some time later. She expects to be present at the Summer School.

They were sorry not to have McMahon on the Champlain trip. He would not be surprised if the local committee in New London would abandon all further attempt at preparations if the General Council continues to withhold personal consultation. Of the lecturers announced Lathrop has seen only John A. Mooney who saw no prospect of being able to direct the course assigned to him. From other sources he heard that Brother Azarias (Patrick Francis Mullany) had not decided to lecture. There has been much enthusiasm in New London but it cannot last much longer. Father (Thomas) Joynt said he would entertain only clerical lecturers. Lathrop must withdraw Joynt's statement that he would entertain anybody.

Heuser, Father H(ermann) J.:
Overbrook, P(ennsylvani)a
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
(Maurice Francis) Egan may have mentioned what Heuser has in mind: the issuing of a special issue of the Ecclesiastical Review for lay persons. It did not seem prudent to allow lay subscribers as it is at present. What has given the matter of a lay edition distinct shape is the indifference of the (American Catholic) Quarterly (Review) to live issues. If the editor of the (Catholic) Standard, a friend of Heuser, attempts even to mention the contents page of the Ecclesiastical (Review), he is made to feel he interferes with the interests of the home publications. Heuser's first departure from a narrower field was owing to the proposed publication of an Arena in St. Paul, which he feared would do harm. The Jesuits were not nearly ready and are not so now. Neither the Quarterly nor the Catholic World discuss questions of principle with any consistency. Heuser asks Hudson's opinion which he values more than that of most others.

They are in Paris after an absence of 4 weeks from New York and New Jersey. What they have seen in those four weeks would fill volumes. (He gives many details of their sightseeing in Paris and London). His health broke down and he came by easy stages back to London. He is all unstrung and in that debilitated state that he is confined to his room with Charlotte (Loft) for a nurse but hopes in a week to be as well as ever. They take 2 weeks, finish London, then to Oxford, to Dublin, and thence to County Sligo, Mrs. Loft's birthplace, where they propose spending 2 weeks and taking a steamer from Queenstown for home. While they were in Paris, Bishop (John) Ireland was there and enthusiastically received. (P.S.) He asks to be remembered to Fathers McHale and Smith.

Richards, W(illia)m:
Washington, D.C.
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, Michigan
Richards was pleased to get Brownson's letter with the names he furnished; he has sent the papers to them and hopes the recipients may be edified, although his experience teaches him that not every inquirer follows the same logical process he did. He could never give up the belief in the existence of God, and so his question was, what does He require and who has he comissioned to be his interpreter? The case is worse with one who has said in his heart, "There is no God"; for he must be challenged to show how the idea originated and the proof must be forced on him that man could never have attained that idea without aid. Richards has for years seen articles by Jesuits and others that tended to create or inspire doubt. Dr. (Orestes A.) Brownson's essays were the first that cleared up this matter for Richards. All Catholic polemicists and preachers should be induced to study his works. He is glad that Brownson is going to get out the Brownson Anthology and will try to aid in its circulation. He has met Dr. (Joseph) Schroeder but has never had any discussion with him; he has read his article in the January American Catholic Review and agrees that he has done a good work but regrets that he did not avoid using several expressions about monarchy and aristocracy, which people are sensitive about. His notion of popular sovereignty needs clearing up and he does not have a clear idea of the state as defined by Brownson or Dr. Francis Lieber, though he seems to have read a number of Brownson's articles. He hopes that someday Catholic universities will have professors who are genuine Americans and can teach political philosophy, theories of the state and of popular sovereignty in the right way, wholly free from foreign prejudices.

He asks to have some one on the grounds equipped with a magic lantern. He has no desire to load himself with slides unless he can use them. He asks for consecutive days near the end of the term so that he can go from New London to Newport. P.S. The Albany Institute has invited him to lecture on Royal Mumies of Boulak.

Keane $10, and several others $5. The applications are only beginning to come in. There must be from 75 to 100 tickets sold. The special railroads worry many. The matter is in the hands of the railroad officials. It has been suggested that should Archbishop (Michael) Corrigan be unable to officiate that Bishop (Matthew) Hawkins of Providence be secured.
