to Henry F. Brownson:

Father O'Rourke encloses a check for $6 for the first two volumes of the autobiography. He has read and re-read Brownson's "Faith and Science," which is worth its weight in gold. He has some four points in philosophy, yet to be shaped up, which he hopes Brownson will answer; if he cannot, no man living can.

to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Stoddard likes what Hudson says about the "Troubled Heart". Hudson is quite at liberty to put his name on the title page. It seems that "The Wonder Worker" and "The Lepers" should head the list. Stoddard feels nervous about the Molokai material which has so long been in his hands. All the material (Ira B.) Dutton has sent him can be sent to Louvain. A new edition of "Lepers" might be dedicated to Dutton.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, Wis(consin)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Referring to Brownson's letter of Feb. 8, Doyle encloses a continuation of the extract from "Anglican Difficulties," which he quoted in answer to Bishop ( ) Worthington, under the impression that Brownson felt that if he had quoted more, he would have acceeded to the Bishop's contention. He coupled this with the quotation from (Orestes A. Brownson). Perhaps Newman meant only a subjective development but in his book Newman assumed the opposite. Thus St. George Mivart follows Newman's views to their logical conclusion. Brownson will have read Mivart's letters to his nephew in the September Contemparary Review, which is to be forwarded to Brownson, in return for his opinion of them. (Enclosures attached.)

Richardson, M(arion) M(uir):
(Richardson, Utah)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson says he doesn't know what to make of the conflicting accounts of the Boers. The English government is the same one that hired Indians to scalp Americans. The English have virtually informed the Pope that they will take it out on Catholics if he sympathizes with the Boers. Mormons are largely English too. Since (James) Cardinal Gibbons has stirred up the women suffragists Monsignor (Sebastian) Martinelli, while doubtless truthful, has fired a mine.

Richemont, V(i)c(om)te de:
Paris, (France)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Richemont received the two volumes Brownson sent him and his first glance over the table of contents makes him realize how much pleasure they will afford him, for he sojourned long enough in the States to be excited over the country's future. In the second volume Brownson treats many subjects referring to France, and Richemont agrees that neither the will of the mob or that of a single man ought to rule, for he is also a defender of constitutional government. At present, however, universal suffrage, which is impossible to suppress and difficult to direct, affords serious obstacles, for the voice of the people is surpassed by the howling of the mob and democracy turns into demagogy. It is likely that the letters which (Orestes A. Brownson) wrote to M. de Montalembert have been preserved, and Brownson should write to Viscount de Meaux, Chateau d'Ecotay, par Montbrison, Loire, who is Montalembert's son-in-law and who should be glad to help him, as will Richemont.

Brann, Father Henry A.:
New York, (New York)
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
The present Bishop of Louisville (William G. McCloskey) could give Brownson better information, for Father Brann was only a student in Rome in 1862. He remembers the article or articles in Brownson's Review in which certain opinions regarding the pains of hell were published, and from what he heard he judged that (Orestes A. Brownson) had been accused in Rome, either officially or unofficially. He frequented the Roman College in the spring of 1862 and was intimate with Father ( ) Cardella, who had the articles and told him there was nothing in them against faith. Unless he forgets, Bishop McCloskey could supplement this with other information. He asks to be remembered to Father (Earnest) Van Dyke. Orestes A. Brownson was a great writer and a grand old man. Father Brann saw a good deal of him at the Paulists' before he died.

Carne asks where he can verify the quotation from Millard Fillmore quoted in the Ave Maria article on (Leo) Taxil, March 10. The article of Father (Charles) Coppens, (S.J.), in the "Ec(clesiastical) Review" seems to have been most timely and his conclusion shows that (Albert?) Pike was a hierophant of the devil. Carne knew Pike well; he lived in Alexandria and went to Washington every day.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, Wis(consin)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
"But Yet a Woman" was recommended to Doyle by ( ) Thomas, a non-Catholic, who said that it was the nearest to a Catholic, story that a non-Catholic ever wrote, and who has considerable enthusiasm for French philosophical writers. Doyle has not read Newman's "Loss and Gain" and regrets it. He makes some criticisms of the printing of the biography and asks to borrow Brancherau's "Praelectiones Philosophicae," and asks Brownson's opinion of Ward's Life. W. G. Ward was much opposed to (Louis) Veuillot. Of course ( ) Hardy calumniates Veuillot, but he would say that it was not meant for a portrait of him, but only a fictitious character. Doyle asks whether Mrs. Brownson has read "But Yet A Woman" and what she thinks of it. He encloses a clipping about "Little Jimmie" (Cardinal James Gibbons) (Clipping enclosed).

D(orrance Myers) wrote him about the fine time they had and that the only mar was Edwards' jag. He said Edwards was ready to lick anybody in sight. He asks if Edwards has started the Crescent Club since the attack of the Corbyites. After this it will be whether you graduated the year of the Crescent Club Rough house or at the time the ice house burned.

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
That pamphlet has not done any harm. Father (Peter J.) Franciscus, (C.S.C.), is an alarmist; he sees weird Irish ghosts everywhere. It shows there is too much destructive criticism at Notre Dame. The ideals of Notre Dame can only be realized by fostering enthusiasm, sympathy and admiration. Egan had a long letter from Milton E. Smith who has hallucinations about his relations to "Church News" which Egan has got (William J.?) Campbell to look after until its affairs can be straightened out. Agnes Repplier is very ill with cancer.

Starbuck, Charles C.:

to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
( ) Reiner, assistant editor of "The Globe", has sent Starbuck a copy containing an article by himself on the Bible and another paper by Professor ( ) Stockley of New Brunswick. Starbuck turned over William Henry Thorne's contribution carelessly. Hudson must be flattered to be made the object of an insulting attack in the same number with an insulting attack on Archbishop (John) Ireland. Starbuck knows Thorne of old. When he taught at Union Seminary, New York, Thorne was a student there. Two of his classmates spoke of him to Starbuck in disparaging terms. Thorne became a Presbyterian minister and then married. He found his ministry did not bring him in enough profit, so he apostatized. He thought it would be a good speculation to turn Catholic. To be vilified by such a creature is a high compliment. What appals Starbuck is (St. George Jackson?) Mivart's apparently not disapproving declaration that some people called Catholics begin to worship individual attributes of God as separate divinities. It looks as if physical science had in Mivart fairly conquered Christianity.

Richardson, Marion Muir:
Richardson, (Utah)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Thank God for Hudson's article. Richardson wants others to see how "like Catholics" Mormons are. Governor (Mariano S?) Otero of New Mexico, says that the Mormons there are not polygamists and that public sentiment will not tolerate polygamy. The Mexican members in the Colorado legislature voted for a memorial against (Brigham Henry) Roberts. The most active friend of Roberts was from Cripple Creek. Richardson does not think she will try the Pilot. James J. Roche has too much of the light Greek temperament. Nine million Catholics can't get consideration in politics; half a million Mormons rule the West. Their poor Methodist is in hard luck. Sarah Elliott of the Episcopal faith got into trouble because she taught the Lord's Prayer in Moab. Richardson fears an investigation will expose the complicity of this administration. She believes that (William Jennings) Bryan is clear of any favoring for political reasons of polygamy. The Mountain Meadow massacre is the glory of the Moabites. They name their children after John D. Lee. Graham, the polygamist post master is still in office. The (Matthew Stanley) Quay influence has been at the call of the Mormon Church. It is said that George Q(uayle) Cannon got the ear of James G(illespie) Blaine, and he prevented the disenfranchisement of the Mormons. Possible the 16 Catholic priests in Utah fear to say anything lest it might raise a storm.

He asks whether Brownson has read (St. George) Mivart's article in the January Fortnightly Review on "Some Recent Catholic Apologists," or an article in the March, "Nineteenth Century," in which he objects to the title "liberal Catholic" and prefers "Catholics par excellence." He encloses some clippings, and Brownson is to note the trend of the Milwaukee Federated Trades Council towards Socialism. P.S. Doyle quotes a passage from Mivart and says it pleased him. He has spoken to others about the "soul" of the Church.
