He has just read her letter and he is sure he did not refuse to lend her the originals. He said that he would send them to her if she would promise to return them to him within a week. He prizes the letters more than anything because the letters were written to him by one for whom he entertains the most intense reverence and love. He states incidences to explain why he will not give the letters to her without the promise of return.

Moulton, J( ) T.:
West Fork, Ark(ansas)
to William J. Onahan:
Chicago, Illinois
Moulton, a non-Catholic, writes to Onahan in the hope that a concerted effort may be made to revise the style of writing in which non-Catholics are addressed. It is a human tendency to introduce bias in the study of history which is pronounced among Protestants since the results are in their favor. Catholic devotion is associated with a great diversity of outward objects. Protestantism, a gigantic conspiracy, tried to smash Catholic worship. Greater severities were practiced in defense than in attack. A balance of severities is just what the Protestant debater wants. Protestant controversial literature—Beecher, Dowling, McGavin, is largely a relic of the period of the great religious wars, and war talk is necessarily unjust. But Catholic controversial literature—Spalding, Wiseman, Milner, bears the marks of the period when the initiative was conceded to Rome. A powerful effort has been made to wrest the initiative from Rome which cannot be ignored. In opposing Catholic research to that of the Protestants, there is such a boundless field that most shrink from entering. Nor is it possible to place full confidence in Catholic research, which set up Jausseu against D'Aubigue. The German historian has undoubtedly been compelled to suppress ninety-nine percent of his material, but his suppressions may have been modified by a desire to win souls. Moulton's idea is that a vigorous review of Protestant polemics, excluding all allusion to Catholic authorities would promote the intelligent and profitable study of history.

Peoria, (Illinois)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:

Spalding encloses (no enclosure) an article on Father (Edward) McGlynn's restoration. Msgr. (Francis) Satolli's action seems to have given satisfaction to the enemies of the Church. If he is taken back without making ample apology, it will be a fatal blow to ecclesiastical authority. The conspirators are active and Spalding hopes the defenders of truth will not be inactive.

to
A general Congress of Catholics will be held in Chicago, commencing Sept. 5, 1893, under the honorary presidency of Cardinal Gibbons. There will be daily sessions for the consideration of the subjects as laid down in the programme, as outlined in the accompanying papers. There will be delegates from every diocese, as well as educational institutions. Invitations have also been extended to Catholics in other parts of the world, and many assurances of attendance have already been received. There will be conventions of other Catholic organizations, such as the Society of Vincent de Paul, at the same time. The Congress, assembling during the progress of the World's Exposition, should not fail to command public attention. The duty of preparing papers has been committed to able men. The scope of the subjects is of general interest, the discussion of which will elicit important practical suggestions with useful results. It is expected that the occasion will be made a memorable demonstration of Catholic intelligence, unity and strength.

At the Baltimore Congress, on the motion of John D. Keiley, and at the suggestion of delegates from Glennan's state, he was chosen a member of the "Committee on Future Congresses." At that time, Glennan was the President of the Irish Catholic Benevolent Union. His selection was recognized as a compliment to that body. However, his election seems to have been overlooked in the proceedings of the Congress, though it was recorded in the British Press. Upon discovering this omission, Glennan called Keiley's attention to it, and was informed that Keiley had written to Harson in regard to the matter. Glennan feels that the matter which he considered a personal honor has escaped Harson's attention.

There must be some mistake as Onahan is sure that Edwards would take an interest in the success of the work. He thinks Edwards ought to prepare a paper for the Congress on the materials he has gathered on the history of the Church. Notre Dame would be a good place for the meeting of the Catholic Press. Onahan suggests that Notre Dame arrange to have the Archbishops and the press down to Notre Dame the week after the Congress.

Corrigan and Sylvester Malone sustainingMonsignor (Francis) Satolli and pillorying his narrow minded critics should be taken to heart by the Cahenslyite foreign priests of the country. Satolli has set the seal of his condemnation on their un-American methods and politics in reference to the public schools and the administration of the temporal affairs of the church. The arbitrary power has been exercised so long by the Bishops has "been called to the attention of the head of the Church" (Americanism).

An attack on Ireland's memorial which, it is alleged, Corrigan sought to have published in the West. Lavelle said to have written letters calling on Catholics to join in a crusade to warn the Pope and force him to recall Satolli. "The Philadelphia article." Extracts from Ireland's Memorial. Father (John M.) Fitzgerald of Charlotte, New York is in trouble. His parishioners appeal to Satolli, having appealed to the Bishop in vain. Corrigan will consider charges when he is notified.

(Americanism. Archbishop John) "Ireland is Reticent." The announcement that Ireland had forwarded charges against Archbishop (Michael Augustine) Corrigan to Rome created a sensation in St. Paul. Ireland said there would be no necessity to send the charges while Monsignor (Francis) Satolli is in the country. Father (John) Conway states that the Chicago Herald has done a great service by unearthing the archconspirator. Father (Michael Joseph) Lavelle calls the press reports absurd, and exploits Corrigan's fidelity. Catholic University of America clergy are reticent, but a friend of Bishop Ireland talks. Father (James) Donohue, speaking for Cardinal (James) Gibbons declines to say anything on the subject. Father (John M.) Mackey and Archbishop (William Henry) Elder doubt that charges exist. Milwaukee dignitaries refuse to express opinions. They admit, however, that they had cause to fear trouble. Chicago priests say but little. The controversy and charges are the topic of conversation in local Catholic circles. Judge Thomas A. Moran holds the opinion that nearly all American Catholics are against Corrigan. Cheers for the Pope called for by Father (Edward) McGlynn. Jubilant termination of the restored priest's "personal statement" before a vast audience in Cooper Union corrects, but scorns retraction.

Riordan, P(atrick) W., Archbishop of:
San Francisco, Cal(ifornia)
to William J. Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
The Archbishop had telegraphed Onahan not to connect him with the Columbian Catholic Congress. He had intended to see Onahan before but didn't have the opportunity. He thinks that the Congress should follow the lines of what the organizers of the first (Baltimore) Congress planned—to show the perfect accord of American laity and clergy on all important questions. It was a revelation to the country that some of the best thinkers of the land were in harmony with the Church. This should become more prominent this year, under the presidency of (Cardinal Gibbons). The posts of honor should go to the laity. He gives his idea of the opening meeting. The Cardinal would be invited to take the chair, and then present a short address. Then a layman will give a speech on the Church's part in the labor question with special reference to Pope Leo XIII's Encyclical. The Congress will be of no value unless it brings into prominence the lay element. The point, that Catholics are not contributing to the founding or endowing of institutions, will have to be brought up by a layman to produce any effect. Archbishop Riordan might not cooperate with the Congress at all, since he is sick at heart and disgusted with the scandals of the East, which are doing more harm than Ingersoll. The school question must receive full treatment since it lies at the root of the social question. He will write Onahan again.

Article concerning the alleged "conspiracy" of Archbishop (Michael A.) Corrigan against Archbishop (John) Ireland and Archbishop (Francis) Satolli. Corrigan is crushed. Satolli is appointed permanent delegate by the Pope who sustains Ireland. Father (Edward) McGlynn's "anti-poverty" doctrines are declared not heretical. (The "conspiracy" seems to concern "Americanism".) Corrigan in bad odor - Satolli's appointment is due to the New York Archbishop's protest. Monsignor Satolli's offical statement - scathing indictment of those who have criticized the McGlynn decision. Archbishop Corrigan welcomes the news of Satolli appointment and says there is no difference of opinion. The Delegate's title and powers. Cardinal (James) Gibbons sees in the appointment of Satolli a chance to discipline Corrigan. That Mass at St. Agnes - Monsignor Satolli for "prudential reasons" declines to meet Monsignor Corrigan. New York's archiepiscopal palace - like its occupant, is full of mystery - Corrigan's remarkable career. Corrigan is the most dignified of dignitaries.

Guichainville, Metayer de:
New York, New York
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
Detroit, Michigan
Although Guichainville has not heard from Brownson for quite some time, he will not let the first month of the year, which promises to be fruitful with great events, go by without reminding him of his affection. He asks Brownson if he would not like to visit their capital and the beautiful club whose books give a better impression than where he had previously seen them. The Columbian section has made purchases which will certainly interest him. Guichainville feels that Columbus and his autographs seem dead and buried in the forgetfulness in international scientific discussions. He is keeping the autograph as a family curiosity and is leaving the clarifying of such a document to the future. He has a Catholic Syrian who came to New York with pehnomenal Archaeological treasures which he seeks to sell in the United States in the interest of good work and the missions of his country. This man intends to travel with his collections of treasures of ancient Syria, and its surroundings and since he will probably go to Detroit, Guichainville tells Brownson not to miss seeing those remarkable things. He has already given him Brownson's address. Since the museums of New York are overcrowded with different things, this Syrian would prefer dealing with amateur collectors. Guichainville has had placed in the club apartment a precious manuscript which belongs to a friend from Paris. This friend wants $4,000. It is an expensive manuscript and if some wealth American would acquire it and return it to the Royal family whom it concerns, he could hope for some honor in recompense. Guichainville has a precious manuscript of the genealogy of the Nassau or royal family of Holland, belonging to a friend from Paris who wishes to sell it for $4000. Guichainville believes that if a wealthy American should buy this and return it to the family, he would receive a reward. Trouble is brewing in Europe. and he believes that the turn of the century has many surprises in store. He wants to see things take a better turn for he would like to visit the land of his ancestors. However, he remains quietly among his dusty books. He wants to know about Brownson's publications and is anxious to receive new ones. P.S. He begs Brownson to save stamps of the new Columbian series for his son who is an ardent philatelist. He also promises to send a report of the club which recently appeared.

Guichainville, le Metayer de:

to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Guichainville wishes Brownson success in all his undertakings and his blessings for the New Year. He informs Brownson that his library has been increased by purchases. He expresses the desire that Brownson may come to the Capital and to the Club. He mentions that Columbus and his autographs seem definitely to have been forgotten due to international scientific discussions. He informs him that he is keeping the autograph as a family curiosity and that he will leave to the future the problem of elucidating the obscurity of this document. At present, there is a Syrian Catholic who wishes to place a vast store of Phoenician archeological riches in the U. S. This Syrian will probably go to Detroit and hence Guichainville has given him Brownson's address. Guichainville has placed in the appartment of one member of the Club a manuscript worth about $4,000, which he thinks would give honor to an American buyer. He wishes Brownson could see it. He then discusses the old country and the weather of the new, also his voluntary exile; and asks when Brownson's publication will appear. He closes with sentiments of highest regards. P.S. He says his son is saving stamps and asks Brownson to aid in getting some stamp of the Columbian celebration.

Chatard knew nothing of the matter and could say nothing. He thinks it would be wise for (Corrigan) to meet Satolli somewhere where it would attract little attention and disabuse him of his prejudice.

In regard to Catholic Societies which have no reserve fund, the best that can be made out of all assessment or mutual arrangement is temporary insurance. These clubs grow and die quickly, and without reserve, are a dilusion, and will ultimately prove disastrous on those clergymen who have given their sanctions. They are nothing but business schemes which have no rules by which members are made better Catholics. In a paper on "Catholic Societies," Spaunhorst thinks this should be referred to. His central Verein has a fund which he is managing and knows something about.

Dunlop, W(illiam) B.:
Edinburgh, Scotland
to Monsignor (Robert Seton:
Jersey City Heights, New Jersey)
He is glad his little Christmas offering met with (Seton)'s approval. He thought (Seton) would be especially interested in the facsimile of the Seton tree. Dunlop is grateful for Seton's kindness in going twice to Oakland. Geraldine (Money) speaks with delight of Seton's visits. In the sudden plunge from great riches to comparative poverty and isolation she has borne herself with the dauntless courage which has won the respect of all who know the sad story. She and Dunlop are close friends and he hopes that someday they will be more than friends. He received a letter from (Reverend Arthur Wentworth Hamilton) Eaton sending him his new book. Dunlop enjoyed his time in America. He is afraid he is to be turned out of the loved home at Seton as Lord Henry (Seton) is thinking of resuming possession.

Shea, Isabel:
Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
to (William J.) Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
Miss Shea thanks Onahan for his encouragement regarding her purposed "Life" of her father, (Dr. John Gilmary Shea). Isabel has quite a few notes and writings of her father—abundant material for a readable book. She wishes especially to bring out his early writings, which she considers as some of his best. She has ill feeling for Mr. Edwards of Notre Dame University, he having accused her of "all kinds of dreadful things." Mr. Edwards, upon Dr. Shea's death expected all of his papers, which, however, he did not receive, resulting in his bad disposition towards Miss Shea. She, at her mother's wishes, cannot appear at the Congress to read a paper.

Father (Timothy) O'Sullivan was to have written him. They have retained the bank, which her brother is now managing. She and her children are well and she had a daughter born the week after her husband died, but they have not yet decided where they will live.

(Garfias Jr.), Luis:
Rogers Park, Ill(inois)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
Yesterday he felt more lonesome than usual as Sunday is a dull day. In the afternoon they took a good walk to the lake. He spends his day reading and writing. What the Scholastic says about those two boys being his father's nephews is a mistake.

Hennessy, Joseph M.:
New York, (New York)
to (William J.) Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
Hennessy has still to find a capable person to take over the concern, even with the offer of capital to the extent of $25,000. He must go home soon. He has been anxious about the information he was to give Onahan in regard to leaders of English Catholic society and thought. There are The Duke of Norfolk, representing Catholic laity; Mivart, on Science; Coventry Patmore, and Aubrey de Vere, on Poetry; George Slouert(?), President of St. Vincent De Paul Society; most of the Catholic members of Parliament. Onahan should know most of the clerics. Cardinal Vaughan could appoint a deputy as could Cardinal Logue.
