to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Lee has given up to the Vicar and Churchwardens both Church and Vicarage of All Saints. He was morally decapitated by act of Parliament. After 33 years of labor he felt the wrench painfully. The choirmen and boys gave him two handsome presents. He is directing himself to the "Reminiscences". Hudson has no idea how marvellously the movement towards Catholicism is advancing. Lee sends a transcript from the Egerton mss. of a set of verses to Our Lady.

Ryan, May Kathleen:
Macon, G(eorgi)a
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Edwards will perhaps no longer remember his little friend of the summer of '96 at Long Branch. Since then much sorrow has come to them in the death of their grandfather W. B. Strang. Robert has not written to her in over a year. She heard that he was touring the states in search of a climate to agree with his delicate constitution.

Eccles, Charlotte O'Conor:
London, (England)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Eccles hopes Hudson will find suitable her article on Secular Cannonesses of Prague. It was a surprise to find Hudson had seen the "Nineteenth Century" article. Eccles wrote it at the request of a friend in Vienna, Madame (Jane Emily) de Lazowska, who with her sister Dorothea (Longard de Longgarde) is probably well known to Hudson as a Catholic novelist. They are sisters of Father (John?) Gerard, (S.J.), provincial of the English Jesuits. The Krankenhaus is in the hands of an anti-Catholic sect, chiefly Jewish agnostics.

Taunton, Father Ethelred L.:

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
What a commentary on 1900 years of gospel that is now going on in South Africa. Aiden Gasquet's new work, "The Eve of the Reformation", is his most important contribution to history. In his book, Hudson will be delighted with Erasmus, always a friend of Taunton's.

to Father Lauth:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Lauth will do a great work of charity if he looks up the baptismal record of Margret Lucie who was baptised in the Log Chapel at Notre Dame by Father DeSeilles. DeSeilles was also her godfather and the old Mother Superior at Notre Dame was her godmother. Margret is one of twins, the other being Katie. She remembers that she was born on New Year's day but does not know how old she is. Her father was Charles Lucie and her mother was Elizabeth Laplante.

(Henoch, Mrs. Milton) Drusie:

to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
How strange of Edwards not to look them up during his visit to New York last summer! She hasn't heard from dear old St. Mary's in years. It is sad that one should allow the home of so much joy to become so distant. But when one marries life assumes new and varied aspects and duties. She has the dearest little infant ever born but she has resolved not to bore people talking baby.

Sister was so ill as to have received the last sacraments. The charge of procurator has expired. They had only one case of the Plague in Lisbon. In Porto they fear the Plague is ineradicable. For political motives the government would pay no attention to the physician who first gave the alarm. There is an abominable magazine in vogue called "Munsey's".

McQuaid asks for 100 copies of the letter permitting Midnight Mass for the 31st and also 100 copies of the document referred to in (Corrigan)'s letter. The Jubilee this coming year is only for visitors to Rome and those who cannot go like nuns, prisoners; but next year there will be a universal jubilee for the rest of the world. McQuaid is going in September, 1900. He proposes to begin in April erection of a new building for St. Bernard's Seminary. They cannot get along without additional accommodation. McQuaid wrote to Father (H.) Wall saying that he could not preach for him in January. McQuaid proposes to decline all invitations this coming year, except St. Patrick's in March in Newark.

to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
There is a misunderstanding regarding the matter about which Edwards writes. Their acquaintance with Edwards is almost entirely through their W. D. Kelly who claims Notre Dame as his Alma Mater. When they sent the sample stack they thought Edwards would build his library without delay. A concern does not send out goods that cost $75 without charge.

Richardson, Marion M(uir):
Richardson, Utah
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The (Brigham Henry) Roberts case is not a moral one. Primarily, the Mormon organization is a treasonable conspiracy of which polygamy is the outward sign. Since statehood the "church" has become the Utah government. The truth of Mormonism is told in (John Williams) Gunnison's "History of the Mormons". The Mormons murdered him, tearing his heart quivering from his body. To say a word against polygamy where it prevails is to court destruction. The taxes assessed on Gentiles are two to four times what they are on Mormons. The judge of the seventh district is a three-wived polygamist. Morals are "unspeakable". Salt Lake is trimmed up for visitors. It is mutiny reaching through Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona and Idaho. (Williams Jennings) Bryan, to whom Richardson wrote, has taken the honorable position that the Democrats cannot afford to endorse the thing. The Republicans must follow. She does not think the Holy Father would approve of the cowardly silence of the Salt Lake Catholic clergy if he knew the truth.

Winthrop is gradually regaining strength. She ventures to propose two or more plans. She prefers to make definite arrangements with the persons who care for her work. She would like to write once a month an article on the French books which are constantly appearing. Winthrop would also like to undertake a series of articles dealing with present sociological conditions. (Maurice Francis) Egan thinks Hudson might like a translation of portions of "La Bonne Souffrance".

Richards, H(enry) L.:
Winchester, (Massachusetts)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson's remark regarding the extraordinary character of Richard's conversion recalls vividly the absorbing experience. He is not surprised that Hudson is in correspondence with (Benjamin Franklin) De Costa and (Charles C.) Starbuck. No doubt Hudson helped de Costa along; he hopes Hudson will be as successful with Starbuck. Richards saw notice of the arrival of Father Fidelis (Stone, C.P.), at the monastery in Hoboken. He is anxious to hear what he has to say about the conversion of Mrs. ( ) Petersen. Their Jesuit son, (Father Joseph Havens Richards, S.J.), has not entirely recovered and there is no immediate prospect of his being much better. He is now spiritual director of the college graduate sodality.

Father Coppens wishes Brownson and his family the blessings of the season. He has got the Omaha Public Library to purchase a set of Brownson's Works, which have already been procured, and he will see that his pupils draw much profit from them. He is glad that Brownson has succeeded so well in writing the memoirs of (Orestes A. Brownson); no one else could have done it half so successfully. The books will stamp his character indelibly upon the mind of the Church in America. Many of the subjects on which he has written have lost or will lose their interest, but his personality was unique and will not be forgotten. He urges Brownson to take good care of his health and not to think of getting old.

The Chicago Post simply announced the book. It seems dishonest for a newspaper to accept an expensive book and not review it.

It was presumed that any one who had sent printed title and applied as stated would know that no further concern need be felt; but if they had not so complied with the law, then it was necessary that some steps should be taken to comply with these legal requirements.

When (Corrigan) sees the Delegate, (Archbishop Sebastion Martinelli, O.S.A.) he should ask him if McQuaid could marry a couple, both baptized. Very urgent, as the man is non-Catholic and has to go to his business down South immediately after the marriage on New Year Day. P.S. Up in Rochester, all canon law authorites hold that the suspension (mixed marriages) does not extend to missionary countries. Besides, McQuaid has no official document.
