Brown, Edward Osgood:
(Chicago, Illinois)
to (William J.) Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
Brown accepts the invitation to prepare a paper on "The Rights of Labor and the Duties of Capital" for the Columbian Catholic Congress, but explains that he does have other work. He had hoped for the advice of Prof(essor) Egan before making his decision, but the latter was detained. He does not believe that the freedom of discussion at the Congress will cause him to make unorthodox statements, nor does he believe that the rights of censorship will be used upon him. He shall treat more particularly the rights of labor in his speech, as capital, being saved or stored-up labor, is included in the term. Essentially both need protection from monopoly and unjust privilege.

Dossert, Frank G.:

to (Austin E.) Ford:
(New York, New York)
Everything is moving along swimmingly. Prof. ( ) Moreschi, the finest male soprano in Rome and from St. John Lateran, will assist as soloist in his Mass production, now scheduled at the latest on April 23rd. He will cable if it is the 16th. He has contacted the American Press but hopes the New York "Herald" will notice it. He attended the Easter services at St. Peter's; the poor quality of the music because of the strain of Holy Week is proof that Meluzzi was honest in requesting a postponement. Monsignor (Denis J.) O'Connell will give him a dinner after the Mass, and Dossert may invite all he wishes, especially Meluzzi. He discusses his visits to the American College; Ford should write up their choir; O'Connell would be pleased. He lists the Americans in the choir. He heard that Ford had moved his office; he hopes the sewage is better in the new place. (The Mass by Dossert was rendered on Apr. 23 as planned; of. New York Freeman's Journal, May 20, 1893.)

Conway, Katherine E.:
Boston, Mass(achusetts)
to William J. Onahan:

Miss Conway suggests that Mother Mary Austin Carroll write a paper on "The Work of Women in the Church." Mother Austin already prepared a good paper for the Press Convention which was read by Father Elliott. Miss Conway likes the names of the women essayists, regrettably, however, some are known only in Catholic circles. She has heard nothing further about Women's Day, and still hopes it will fall through. She believes that its attendance would be very limited. She refers to the Press Conventions programme, in which women's papers were intermingled with the rest. She is glad that Onahan has secured Elizabeth Cronyn, and would like his opinion of Mother Austin. Miss Conway shall write a paper in "The Ideal Family Religious Journal" for the Congress of Religious Publications. She shall write to Onahan's daughter (Mollie) and is glad that the letter will contribute a paper. She asks for the whole list of subjects, if ready.

Guichainville, Metayer de:
New York, (New York)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Guichainville has received Brownson's letter written in the latter part of January. He is pleased to know of the good works and admits that he himself has not been spared by work. The publishers are after him for the final catalogue which the club would like to have printed before summer. He has just organized the history section of the two Americas in which he finds that he has a passable series of explorers, founders, and conquerors, but he needs to compete with those of Harisse. He has not heard anything about the author-publisher mentioned. Silence also prevails in view of their Columbus document, but he is negotiating with England. In France they flatter Guichainville for his portion of Spanish Catholic archives dealing with the missions and the government of the Society of Jesus in the XVII and XVIII centuries in South America. Metayer sees that Europe, in spite of all its political and social disturbances, is the place to appeal for generosity when historic souvenirs and "serious" sciences are concerned. There is too much business in the American element and his excessive love of the dollar has created more speculators than real amateurs. Guichainville hates to make this criticism but the most noble characters also have their defects. He concludes that there is no perfection in the human element. Guichainville's son, Raoul, is not inclined toward becoming a businessman. He is occupied with his correspondence and philatelist collections, and wants all postage stamps, particularly U.S. Columbian. If Brownson has not forgotten his previous request he must have many set aside. Everything is of interest to the philatelist- stamps, wrappers, envelopes, postal cards, etc. There are members of the clergy in the 5 parts of the world who encourage us and we then answer encouraging their good Catholic and missionary work. Finding that he has chattered enough, he closes his letter wishing Brownson good health and success in all his undertakings. P.S. Metayer fears that Panama will prove to be the Dies irae of the third French Republic.

Slattery has written to Cha(rle)s L.

Since "our black friends" are touchy at times, Onahan should send a personal invitation. He gives Butler's address.

He has just read (Seton)'s "Seton of Parbroath" for the second time. He must have got it from his reverend son, (Father John T. Durward) when he returned from the Palestine Pilgrimage. When Durward was a little boy in Montrose a gentleman on the street said, "I knew your Father; he was a good man." His father was drowned when Durward was three months old. Durward has often been in Arbroath and once when young walked from sea to sea across Scotland in one day; now he is 77.

Guichainville, Metayer de:
New York, (New York)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Guichainville thanks Brownson for his philatelistic favors and sends him a copy of the club's Report. Brownson's historical emmissary on Columbus is winning world-wide praise. Requests for this tableau are coming from friends who seem to believe that the club is financed by Vanderbilt or that a new series of postage stamps is but a trifle. With one hundred such friends he would soon be reduced to sleeping on a bed of straw. To keep these souvenir hunters quiet, a series of used Columbian stamps is released from time to time. There has been no news about his Columbus autograph. He learned the Honorable Curtiss instead of getting palpable souvenirs from Rome brought back a Columbian garment from Cardinal Rampolla. In Spain he got the sword of Isabelle, Catholic more or less. The Vatican doesn't release documents very easily. He calls attention to an announcement in the newspaper of a Bazaar being held in a Nasonic Temple. It is not the first time that God and the devil have met. Brownson has sung the Monarchy's Dies irae and Guichainville thinks that if they return to France they will have to republicanize themselves. He is seeking a recipe to make France a Roman Catholic Republic. There should be no resistance to a devoted son of the Church, but convictions of the heart do not always stand out. It is true that on the dunghillss grow the best cucurbitaceae so may the results of the national corruption in France turn out something worth-while. The Old World is all upset and with the least explosion the old structure will crumble. What can be built of a pile of ruins only God knows. Ancient history shows only a succession of changes which as in our modern world come and go. Monarchies, Republics, Empires have all played their part as they probably will again in the future. Metayer wants to know if Brownson's works are to be published. He is still working on his catalogue and hopes to complete it this year. He promises Brownson a sample copy. Brownson is praised for having brought light on American discoverers and his Cabot will be indispensable to complete the Club's collection. He expresses his devotion to his friend, and thanks him for the stamps sent. P.S. Raoul has obtained a duplicate rarity from France-a note from the famous bank of Law connected with his financial enterprise in Louisiana, and would like to know if such a souvenir would not please him. Will they exhibit at the World's Fair the famous Pilinski Facsimile of Samuel Barlow which can still be bought in Europe for five dollars and which would be sold to the Lenox Library for the modest sum of two or three thousand dollars. He will have something to say about certain stocks of a Tyrienne industry which abounds in the United States.

Roeper of Williamsport, P(ennsylvani)a, in which is treated the same subject which Brownson will treat on Pentecost Sunday at St. Boniface's Hall. The speech is not brilliant but may be of some use.

An attack of the grippe left him quite nervous. He attended one of the uptown churches yesterday but was disappointed with the hurried manner with the hurried manner with which the services were conducted. He then went to St. Joseph's at 11. He could not help comparing New York with New Jersey. In New York there are 9 Masses on Sunday attended by 12,000 persons and a charge of 10 cents a seat. All the dignity and reverence of their church is lacking. He was reminded by the Cadet Corpe of a military Mass which he saw in Caracas. 1000 soldiers marched into the Cathedral. He did not stop to see Seton realizing he would be exhausted by long fasting.

He was in Washington last week but did not find time to go to New York. (New York) Freeman's Journal will not have to take one step backward despite (Ella B.) Edes prophesyings. Ireland met Archbishop (Michael A.) Corrigan at the meeting of the Board of Directors; Corrigan had the imprudence to allude directly to the past controversy. Ireland replied so strongly, he silenced Corrigan. Corrigan tried to bring about a reconciliation after the meeting, but Ireland was merely polite; he has no confidence in Corrigan. Archbishop (Francis) Satolli is perfect in his appreciation of men and events. Ireland cannot be too grateful to Ford for the course he has followed in the Journal. He is glad Prof. (Frank G.) Dossert was successful, but he does not see the gain in so much labor.
