Starbuck, Charles C.:
Andover, Mass(achusetts)
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Starbuck has examined Herzog's Encyclopedia for the allusion to which Father (Henry G.) Ganss refers. It seems reasonable certain that Paul never met Seneca. It seems curious how there should have been in the third century a universal return to immersion.

Reid, James V.:
Falls View, Ontario, (Canada)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Reid, between April and October, 1873, received over a dozen letters from (Sarah Brownson Tenney), because after the appearance of her book, "The Life of Doctor Gallitzin," Reid, pleased with its fullneas of detail compared with that of Father (Thomas) Heyden, congratulated her and told her that he had a copy of the pamphlet "The Bible, Truth, and Charity" published by (Demetrius Augustine) Gallitzin, which she had not seen. Later he told her of the several occasions on which he had seen the Prince-Priest, including being present at a Mass celebrated by him in Westmoreland County. Pa., before the completion of the Pennsylvania Canal, at another celebrated at Blairsville in Indiana County, Pa., under a tree, the stump of which is preserved as a sort of relic in the Blairsville cemetery; also, he was present at Loretto in 1847 when Gallitzin's remains were reinterred with great ceremony and in the presence of thousands from all over Pennsylvania, and a new monument was erected. At the time of his correspondence with Brownson's sister, Reid lived in Pittsburgh; from 1883 to 1885 he was acting editor of the Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph; from 1886 to 1889 and at brief periods thereafter until 1894 he edited the Catholic Columbian; and from 1889 until 1891, at which time he published his "Reference Index of Parallel Cases, Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1791-1891," was editor of the Pittsburgh Catholic. He is now 80 and retired, and is spending a few weeks in Falls View, where is wife is matron of the Carmelite Hospice. He would be pleased to have Brownson call on him here or in Cincinnati, where he will spend the fall and winter with his daughter. He offers Brownson a bound copy of the Democratic Review for the first six months of 1843.

It would be a kindness if Hudson would let her have 2 or 3 pulls of the proof. Yesterday Eccles sprained her ankle while cycling. Francis Thompson is no relation to Alice Meynell. Her farcical novel "The Rejuvenation of Miss Semaphore" has just gone into a sixth edition. She wrote it under the pseudonym of Hal Godfrey.

Ganss, Father H(enry) G.:
Carlisle, P(ennsylvani)a
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The proof reached Ganss in good time. The language of C(harles) C. Starbuck is so sympathetically Catholic that he reminds Ganss of Dr. J(ohn) W. Nevin. They cultivate the acquaintance of such men entirely too little. The mastermind of Dickinson College, Dean (William) Trickett is such a man. For two years he never missed a service at Ganss' church.

Mother sends a check for $10.00 on their account. She asks Hudson to lend her "Memories of the Crimea". Mother Aloysius is not the only surviving member. Mother Joseph was with her in the care of the British soldiers. She is writing "Reminiscences of the Crimean War by a Sister of Mercy". She has in her notes all Florence Nightingale's letters and letters of Father Ronan, S.J., who was out there collecting letters two or three years ago. The book will show the bigotry and underhand work of officials.

Poor Dorrance writes such homesick letters. Edwards ought to persuade him to take his recreation with the boys.

Craft, Father Francis M. J.:
Cheyenne River Agency, South Dakota
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Craft is travelling with the sisters to visit the Sioux (Indian) Agencies. They are guests of the Indians. That article in the "Catholic World" is one he wrote long ago. There seemed to be two objections. He gave the whole credit to Mother Catherine and the sisters. Craft does not think that the second part will interfere with the sketches Hudson has. The sisters represent the whole case of Catholicity among the Indians. They have proved they are capable of all the whites are capable of. If they (Congregation of American Sisters) are to sink now, it will be because the Church is determined to crush them. It was suspected that, under pressure, despair and discouragement would follow. They will fight until fighting is no longer possible. The Sioux shall see their sisters and the Church will have to meet them if it pushes the persecution further. One of the chiefs asked to have the sisters remain among them; the superior and priest were opposed to it. The chief told the superior either to stop persecuting their sisters or get out of their country. Several of the missionaries seem well disposed towards the sisters, but they are under superiors and must be silent. All the sisters, like Craft, are converts. The health of the sisters is shattered by hardship and trouble. There is no hope in the Church. They wait for God to act.
