to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):

Spalding thinks it would be better to call the little poem "Wisdom". He is concerned about the Christian Brothers. A decision from Rome forbids them to teach the classics. This is a severe blow to their educational interests. The devil is dangerous when he assumes the garb of humility and piety.

How admirable of Hudson to give those letters of Clement XIV. He has just finished (Wilfrid) Ward's life of Wiseman. It shows that (Henry Edward) Cardinal Manning was not an intriguer against (Archbishop George) Errington. Has their friend of the "Tablet" stopped short in expounding his view of Savonarola? After reading the numbers of the "Tablet" which Hudson sends, Starbuck sends them to John Alfred Faulkner of Drew Seminary. He notices that the Irish are meeting their Anglo-Saxon boastings with denials that there are any Anglo-Saxons. (Theodore) Roosevelt, like (Grover) Cleveland is an Ishmael, and Starbuck is glad to see individuality forge to the front.

Many thanks to Hudson and Father (John M.) Toohey, (C.S.C.), for the translation of that too vague letter. Ken(neth O'Connor) has a beautiful bronze medal struck in memory of the West Indian Compaign. It is made of plate from the "Maine". Yesterday came a letter from Vienna from Mark Twain, which Stoddard copies for Hudson: Twain is always forgetting to tell Stoddard that one of his books was written by Stoddard's order. Years ago he told him to write a serious book. So Twain wrote "Joan of Arc".

The outside world looks dismal enough and he is in a sort of melancholy mood, but the faces of old friends come back. He has been thinking of all the changes since this day last year. He little forsaw what he passed thru since. He is fairly situated; he teaches the Franciscan Brothers who teach the parochial schools in Brooklyn and that supplements his salary considerably. He asks when is Edwards going to build his new library. His donation is ready at any time. If he were as wise at Notre Dame as he is there, he might have saved some money.

Ganss thinks the article will continue to arouse comment, which no doubt the New York Sun's article will intensify. Father (John) Scully, (S.J.), writes that it is the best treatment of the subject since Rome issued its encyclical on Anglican orders. (Morris Watson) Prince of the Dickinson College faculty wrote a pleasant letter. Did Hudson send a copy to the "New York Sun"? How is it that not one Catholic paper took notice of it? Hudson can announce a series of articles on "Protestantism and the Bible".
