(Seton), Harry:
Fort Sherman, Idaho
to Monsignor Robert (Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey
Robert's Present reached him on the 28th, the same day on which Robert attended the banquet of the Sons of the Revolution. Harry hopes he will send his address on the occasion. Robert has been entertaining Monsignor Satolli. If he gave him such liquor as he sent Harry, he must have warmed the cockles of his heart. He also thanks Robert for the Catholic Annual. John (Foster Seton) has a delay until January; he does not relish the idea of rejoining his company. The mines in Coeur d' Alene have again gone on strike. Harry does not think any of their companies will be called on before April. He dined with Colonel and Mrs. Hall. He must write to William by this mail.

She returned "Staggering State of Scotch Statesmen" this morning; it is a curious little book. All the ancient and distinguished families seemed to be on the verge of extinction. They seem to have revived and she will never be happy until she can visit all the homes of her ancestors and get pictures of Sir James Melville of Hallhill and Sir John Scot. Through the Riggs they are descended from the Beatouns of Balfour.

The Negro women seldom cry over their dead babies. O'Malley has charge of the contagious disease service in the Health Department. He is so accustomed to misery now that it doesn't affect him. He is too busy to write for the Ave Maria. They are immunizing horses for a new diphtheria cure.

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
McQuaid sends the enclosed letter on Secret Societies by itself. Msgr. (Francis) Satolli is angry about McQuaid's sermon on Archbishop (John) Ireland, and sent it to the Pope. Satolli does not seem distressed by the notorious and scandalous behavior of an Archbishop. McQuaid has not replied to his, preferring to hear from Rome. The letter from Paris in yesterday's Sun covered a great deal of matter. (Charles) Dana is anxious to do Corrigan justice. If no other good comes from McQuaid's sermon on Ireland, they will be spared his meddling in the politics of the state. Cornelius Cronin, the seminarist Corrigan adopted in September, will be called to subdeaconship shortly. McQuaid feels sure he will make an excellent priest. McQuaid goes to New York for the consecration of St. Stephen's on the 30th. P.S. (Father Louis A.) Lambert has become editor of the Freeman's Journal. They may look for much mischief. The more rope he gets the sooner he will hang himself. As the paper has little circulation in his diocese, McQuaid can afford to leave him alone.
Enclosure:1894 Dec. 12
McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
McQuaid is pleased with the decision of the Holy See in the condemnation of secret societies. There will be no difficulty in Rochester enforcing this decision. It was held almost universally by the people that the Church did not approve of them until Ireland gave it out that these societies were no longer under the ban. Many Catholics in the Western dioceses then joined them. McQuaid paidno attention to Ireland's ipse dixit and observed the old discipline. As soon as Catholic people hear the decision of Rome, they will withdraw from the societies except for a few more Protestant than Catholic. The above remarks express McQuaid's judgment of the condemnation.

The reception of Edwards' letter made them very happy. Notre Dame would not seem the same to them with so many of the old faces lost. She is trying hard to get lessons but the place is swarming with teachers. Her father (Luigi Gregori) has no work except what comes from Notre Dame. The life he leads is not conducive to bring him work; he never sees anyone. She hopes Edwards will not forget to give Gregori work if he can.

It has come to Keane of late from a dozen sources, "Why is the Ave Maria so ugly towards the (Catholic) University?" He never heard from any quarter any such expression as "that the Ave Maria is not considered worth space in their library or reading room." Keane echoes every word of the article Hudson sent. They have indeed assumed a sad responsibility who have been the occasion of bringing dissension into the Church in America.

Robert's letter of the 7th came yesterday. He is glad Robert saw John (Foster Seton). He hopes Robert has enough influence to make John study so that he may not again fail if he is re-examined this winter. His ears spoil his otherwise good looks. Harry read of the death of General (Eliakim Parker) Scammon. Will wrote that he had found him very ill. Harry saw in the Sun a description of the "Seton relics." His sergeant brought the "Illustrated American" to show him the picture of the banquet of the Sons of the Revolution. Harry returns the bill of Macy and Jenkins; the 8 bottles marked are the ones which came to him. The mission in their church last week was given by a Benedictine who had met Robert 18 months ago and may see him again soon. He is now enroute to England.

Ireland, Archbishop John:

to Austin E. Ford:
(New York, New York)
Ford's letter addressed to Ireland in New York was delayed in reaching him. Since his arrival home he has been traveling throught the State and hence unable to attend to the wishes of his friends. He wrote a strong letter to Dr. (Charles H.) Parkhurst and is writing one to (Thomas C.) Platt. He has never met (Willam L.) Strong but will write him if Ford desires. He is most grateful to the Irish World and (New York) Freeman ('s Journal) for the skill and vigor with which they defended him. The Republicans owe Ford much and it will be strange if he dose not get something handsome from them. Ireland will have some influence with the next national administration and it will be all at Ford's Service.

Reply has been delayed because of poor health. The Count praises the American Church - the rampart of the social order. Though there are differences, political - social agitations seem the same on both sides of the Atlantic. He comments on the great progress made, and on the necessity of Catholics uniting under the banner of the Pope. He laments the militarism of Europe and large conscription. He will not be able to come to Rome because of his wife's health. His children are away in school; he is living near Vienna. He hopes Onahan will let him know of an intended visit there so he may receive him. Wishes of good cheer at Christmas and New Year's and regards to Archbishop Feehan.

In reply to Scrymser's of the 22nd it will give Momson much satisfication to second the nomination of Monsignor (Robert) Seton for membership in the St. Andrew's Society. Scrymser will see by the record enclosed (no enclosure) that William Seton was an officer in the Society from 1766 to 1771 having joined in 1765. James Seton joined the Society in 1793 and again a James Seton in 1806. "There was Mary Seton, And Mary Beaton, And Mary Carmichael, And me."

He wonders how Reverend (Arthur Wentworth Hamilton) Eaton got home. Who can Niddrie be who corresponds for the New York Freeman's Journal? (A note in Seton's hand: "Niddrie was Mgr. Seton"). Friday Jevons was at a euchre party at Mrs. Peter Jay's. Marguerite (Jevons) stayed overnight. Saturday he went with May and John Jay and Miss Barclay to Van Cortlandt's lake. May hurt her arm so badly that they walked to Bicknell's house and came home. Sunday he bolted up to Williams-bridge and walked to the Schieffelins. Edgar (Schieflin) Junior was there alone so they turned cooks and took a sleigh ride by Van Cortlandt West Farms and Westchester. Casser's lane is changed. The four corners are not those of yore and the cherry tree is gone. (Seton) is not to forget to come to the Strong's reception. Aunt Elize (Elizabeth Seton) is particularly well. Uncle Will(iam) Seton is going to take New Year's dinner with them. Jevon's father has just bought William Watson's new poems; Jevons thinks Watson will be the next poet laureate. Jevons' article is not in this month's Catholic World and he despairs of ever seeing it.
