Ferment, Mrs. Felecite Gayoso:
New Orleans, (Louisiana)
to Brother Maurelian, (F.S.C.):
Secretary, Catholic Educational Exhibit,Chicago, Ill(inois)
She has a number of relics she wishes to exhibit at the Fair with a view to selling them. They are a miniature painting of Isabella and Ferdinand; a miniature of her grandfather Gov. Manuel Gayoso de Lemos; last Spanish governor of Louisiana; a ring; a curious hair pin which represents a dream of her grandfather. She has the Gayoso geneology which dates back farther than Isabella. She has also a sugar sprinkler which she inherited from her great-great-great grandfather Sir Robert Assheton who came to America with William Penn in 1682 and was Provincial Councillor of Philadelphia and a kinsman of Penn. Her mother is descended from a brother of (Juan) Perez (O.F.M.) who offered to Isabella the money to equip Columbus. Her mother is also a descendent of the Beauregards. Elias Beauregard was sent to Virginia to obtain money for General Washington; Elias loaned $2000 to equip Col. (Richard) Montgomery's troops. Her mother's grandfather (Manuel de) Perez was military governor of St. Louis. Considering her ancestors she deserves some recognition which she failde to receive from the ladies in charge of the Louisiana exhibit.

Guichainville, Metayer de:
New York, (New York)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
The weather preventing him from going to work on the library catalogue, Metayer takes the occasion to write. A book published in England in 1890 came to his attention in the Biography section. Its frontispiece is a reproduction of an American print of a Cabot painting. The text also contains copies of interesting prints. He gives the details. Guichainville's son offers a note of the Bank of Law in appreciation for the many favors of Brownson. His friends from the old world mistake the franc sign for the American dollar sign and so believe him to be earning $250 instead of 250 francs which is the equivalent of $50 monthly. He can use only used Columbian stamps. He wants to know if the spiritual Father Thomas is not related to the Archbishop and Cardinal of the Diocese of Rouen— who has the same name, and who also recently became a Republican. One changes his color very easily in France these days. The Normands are not quite as fickle as the inhabitants of the Garonne valley. They adhere to things and ideas very firmly, and, like the disciples of your Father Bordelais, they are not converted without first being thoroughly convinced. The discussions in the April 24 newspapers concerning the Metropolitan Museum of Arts are enough to discourage all art collectors in the New World. After the set back of statues by a director who understands esthetics in the American fashion, the kaleidoscopic section of the museum are also involved. The process is done by burying sometime underground with potassium cyanide. He asks what Brownson thinks of Bishop Conroy in partibus. Although they are casting shadows on the antiquities of the older civilization, these objects continue to arrive on the Isle of Manhattan and the rich yankees will soon be able to show souvenirs of ancient Tyre on their shelves. Who would have thought that these Phoenicians and Tyriens would be exporting to a United States. He renews his respect and admiration.

to Monsignor (Robert Seton:
Jersey City Heights, New Jersey)
She received (Seton)'s letter of December and the annual. She wishes (Seton) could have been in Rome for the Jubilee. She was there and one felt proud to be a Catholic. She returned to London for Easter to settle her temporal affairs for she is going back to Rome to be a Benedictine there. The Pope wants foreign convents and religious centers in Rome because the Italian government is suppressing the Italian ones. There is only one Benedictine convent in Rome, the Nuns of St. Cecilia, and they are being suppressed. (Seton) must go to Rome when he comes over in 1896. She is delighted to hear that St. Benedict is the patron of the Seton family. Her director will be Monsignor (James A.) Campbell; he is a personal friend. This foundation is to a great extent his work. The present time is most painful; her family is all against her, being Protestants.

Durieu and (Albert) Pascal of British Columbia; they spoke highly of the region and hope to bring back some French peasants to their diocese. Durier thought Madame Petibeau was still alive at Victoria. (James) Eustis, and Ambassador to France, looked like a jolly bon vivant; a great contrast to Whitelaw Reid and (F.J.) Coolidge. He is from New Orleans and spoke to everyone. They may stay here two months and then to the Pyrenees, to Luz, via Pau. (Seton) is to send his oration at Notre Dame. They return in the autumn.

Pratt, Sydney T.:
New York, (New York)
to Austin E. Ford:
(New York, New York)
After carefully considering the subject of their conversation, he has concluded to make the following proposition: to purchase one-half interest in the (New York) Freeman's Journal. If he does this he will cease negotiating with other gentlemen about another Catholic paper. It will be a difficult job, more so than a new establishment; but by consistent work and with the prestige of the paper's name it can be made the leading Catholic journal in this country. Because this is possible he is willing to become business manager and assume half of the responsibility. They must not only agree on terms and price but upon policy; he would make each publication characteristically fearless, thorough, enterprising and full of new ideas thus obtaining comment in other papers and building up the paper financially. Ford may refer to Father L(ouis) A. Lambert for references.

Copy for Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: On Bishop Gulstan (Ropert)'s visit there last October they renewed a suggestion regarding the effects and personal belongings of Father Joseph Damien de Veuster, (SS.CC.), that they be placed in a Father Damien Room at the Damien Institute near Louvain. His Lordship approved and instructions have come to send the articles to Honolulu for forwarding to Louvain. Dutton gives a list or articles in actual use by Father Damien. These include books, furniture, and religious articles. The asperges bucket and sprinkler were sent to Damien by Geo(rge) W. Woods, a surgeon of the United States Navy after his visit to the leper settlement about 1876. Woods is now in charge of the Naval Hospital, Man Island, California. His daughter is a Catholic. Dutton had care of the churches and sacristies at Kalawao and Kalaupapa from July, 1866 until after Damien's death April, 1899. He certifies that the articles enumerated were in the possession of Father Damien. The writing of (Charles Warren) Stoddard has done more than any other human work to establish an enduring foundation for Damien. Credit should be shared by Hudson.

In reply to Onahan's suggestion to send the names of twelve delegates to the (Columbian) Catholic Congress, the Bishop asks about programmes, instructions and information. The arrangements for the Congress are impractical. A Congress should be composed only of the "Elite" - the "flower" of Catholic laymen- quality, not quantity, such as in the European Congresses.

Guichainville, Metayer de:
New York, (New York)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Guichainville has received the catalogue which Brownson returned. His 2 daughters who collect advertisements and newspapers have found an illustrated page in the World during the Columbian festivities of the previous year showing various navigators among whom is Sebastian Cabot. He offers Brownson a copy since they have duplicates. In his home are found various interests; science, history and it is not inclined to gold which is the great idol of the XIX century. They remain faithful to the tradition and customs of their fathers and measure their happiness not by the number of greenbacks but rather by the collection of curiosities which are classified with a certain amount of pleasure and which makes the years of voluntary exile flow by more rapidly. One of the clubs' president described him as a man of the XIV century, but he does not mind for he is not about to identify himself with XIX century fads. The Creator, who probably had forgotten them, is bringing them to the light now four centuries later. People here live at great speed, with one century equivalent to two on the old continent. If it were possible to collect characters as one does stamps, the United States would certainly produce the most extraordinary. He expects something to happen in Europe soon, and from which interesting transformations will emanate. In the New World the Laurel branch is replaced by the olive branch, and is preferable to him. Silence, souvenirs, and the old books of the library summarizes all his ambitions.

Hudson's suggestion about the note paper with the printed third page is an excellent one. Hudson is asked to take a personal interest in making the (Anna Hanson) Dorsey testimonial a success. He sincerely and bitterly regrets the discussion that has existed in regard to the Papal Legate (Archbishop Francesco Satolli) and that Hudson and the Ave Maria should have been mixed up in so disagreeable a manner.
