Katzer, Archbishop F(rederick) X(avier):
Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to Archbishop M(ichael) Aug(ustine) Corrigan:
New York, N(ew) Y(ork)
Katzer saw a dispatch in several papers dated from Washington in which Katzer's name was included with other Archbishops in solemnly protesting to the Pope regarding the Americanism controversy. Katzer did not write to the Holy Father about the Encyclical Letter on Americanism at all. Had he done so he would have thanked the Holy Father for the opportune letter. Katzer will contradict the statement in the papers.

She has no doubt that Edwards remembers his neighbors the Dunlaps when they were all children together in Toledo. Then Edwards went away and by and by she heard that he was a professor at Notre Dame. Edwards has chosen a life that is agreeable to him. She thinks she knows where he stands on more than one question of the day from some of his speeches as a boy. Edwards was opposed to war. Mr. Wagnier of Benziger Brothers advised her to send a book to Edwards' care for review in the Ave Maria.

Ganss may be able to adapt "The Plaint of Our Lady" for some hymn appropriate for the Blessed Sacrament or Sacred Heart. Ganss asks Hudson to send a copy of "Mariology" to J L. Repplier, Reading, P(ennsylvani)a. He is a brother of Agnes Repplier, who underwent an operation in Philadelphia for malignant cancer. The (Charles Augustus) Briggs denouement was some surprise to Ganss. He came to the conclusion that Bishop (Henry Codman) Potter would not dare to ordain him. The day before his last departure Briggs dropped Ganss a pathetic note. He complains of the bitterness with which some of our Catholic papers attacked his address given at New Haven.

Stone leaves Rome on Monday next for England where he will have work to do which will keep him there all summer. Very likely Hudson will hear from Father Edmund (Hill, C.P.), in regard to a miraculous cure. Certain aspects of the case render it imperative that they should be slow in putting it before the public.
