Craft, Father Francis M. J.:
Cheyenne Agency,
S(outh) D(akota)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
It is incredible that interests and prejudices should be so strong as to make priests and bishops villify and destroy helpless Sisters. Craft does not know whether the part of his article appeared in the "Catholic World". Five of their best Sisters left them. After the conduct of the priests and missionaries they demanded a release from their vows. They said they could no longer endure the contempt, hatred and abuse manifested towards their race. They said they would return when the Church proved to them that Americans and Indians could be as favorably treated as Catholics, as are foreign Catholics. These are the first Indians who have fallen under Catholic fire. If Craft could have gotten the Sisters (of the Congregation of American Sisters) East, things might have been better. The Indian department was anxious to see the Sisters, and Father (Joseph A.) Stephan of the defunct Indian bureau could easily have obtained railroad passes. Craft wrote to ask him to do this, but he happened to be on the side of their enemies. Bishop (Thomas) O'Gorman refuses to answer the Indians and gives the priest at the mission an emphatic "no". Bishop (John) Shanley, to whom Craft wrote, won't answer at all.

Hurth, (C.S.C.), Bishop P(eter) J(oseph):

to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The check for $233.50 is safe in Hurth's hands. Through hasty notes written to Father (William) Corby, (C.S.C.), Hudson may have learned that Providence is becoming more mysterious. The cyclone of October 24 was disastrous: 3,000 lives lost and 1,000,000 homeless. On the day of the cyclone Hurth boarded a vessel to come homeward and only the experience of the captain saved them from going into the center of it. The plague is spreading alarmingly. On All Saints they laid a corner stone for a church there.

Mannix is sure the third chapter of the Chimney Sweep must have reached Hudson. After writing the second chapter Mannix was taken with an attack of the grippe. How long will she make her serial for next year? Mannix thinks that it is girls who have had no training from their mothers who are idle and useless and such as Miss ( ) Elder describes. Mannix wonders that Archbishop (William Henry) Elder permitted that publication in the "Catholic Telegraph". Mannix believes he has an overwhelming pride in his relations.

They must have a house ready when they take in more children. Hudson has been the first to help and another letter came from America with $10 from a reader of the "Ave Maria."

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Doyle thanks Brownson for his letter of Nov. 2 and encloses a letter from a friend to whom he sent a copy of the "Refutation of Atheism." (M. J.) Thomas is a so-called member of the Episcopal Church, and though he has read Newman's "Grammar of Assent," this is the first of (Orestes A. Brownson)'s works he has read.
Enclosure follows:1897 Nov. 10
Thomas, (M. J.):
Chicago, Ill(inois)
to (William T. Doyle):
(Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
"The Refutation of Atneism" is sufficiently convincing, though (Orestes A. Brownson)'s attempt to prove Christian theism is less successful. The book is especially interesting because of the clear presentation of the views on being and God held by the great thinkers, and because of the fact that most of the moderns from Descartes, Kant and Locke on are mainly concerned with the science of knowledge and have little or nothing to say about being. He notices also that all mythologies seem to point to the original theistic conception and that at least in matters of theology there has been no ascent of man; and also the contention that science precedes faith. But Thomas is not a metaphysician. He wonders that Brownson, a man of learning fully the peer of the Tyndals, Huxleys, and Taines, is little known outside the Catholic Church.

Brandi, S.J., Father S(alvatore) M.:
Rome, (Italy)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:

Brandi has delayed answering the Archbishop's letter of October in the hope of giving him some information about the (Catholic) University. All he can say is that the university has been and is under Propaganda.Cardinal (Camillus) Mazzella told him that it was proposed to transfer the university from the care of propaganda to that of Studies but as a Jesuit he was unwilling to take the responsibility for the things that were proposed. Now that Mazzella has been promoted to the Congregation of Rites and Cardinal (Francisco) Satolli has succeeded him in Studies the question has com up again. Brandi was unable to learn the decision. The case of Msgr. (Joseph) Schroeder has created a painful impression in high cricles but it has showed the animus of certain persons aginst him in Washington. Schroeder has powerful friends in Rome. Many of the Jesuits, including Brandi, have received many favors through Father (John) Edwards and would like to see him made a domestic prelate but know that the initiative must come from (Corrigan) without any expense to him. The pope is well, granting audiences yesterday and saying Mass for the public. P.S. Should (Corrigan) prefer, Edwards could be made simply a monsignor but some think that is too little.
