Tyler, Edward:
New York, (New York)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Tyler regretted not being able to use the matter to which Hudson called his attention. Does Hudson find that "The Literary Digest" meets his idea of fairness in treatment of his Church? Tyler has received abusive letters from Catholics and Protestants, particularly from priests.

Salisbury, N(orth) C(arolina)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Tiernan is sorry Hudson does not care for the sketches now. She is sorry of what Hudson tells her of Marlier, Callanan and Company. The book is quite hopelessly in their hands.

(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Bishop (Donato) Sbarretti(y Tazza)'s attention has been called to a statement in the Ave Maria in relation to the decree of General (John R.) Brook(e) regulating the marriage ceremony in Cuba.

Gillon, M. Josephine:
Lowell, Mass(achusetts)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
They enjoyed the last number of the Ave Maria. She encloses $5 in memory of her deceased father Joseph Drach. In Lowell the subject of the missions is practically ignored. What Hudson said about nationality and the religious orders was needed. In Lowell 20,000 French Canadians form an element by themselves, and where there should be the utmost harmony between them and English-speaking Catholics, there is a latent antipathy which needs but little encouragement to be awakened. Gillon is sorry that this feeling is, to some extent, fostered by their clergy. A young man of Irish descent was opposed by the French for that reason. They are known as the "Catholic A.P.A."

Lentz, Father F. G.:
Bement, Illinois
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Lentz orders a copy of "Brownson's Middle Life" and hopes Brownson will have as much success with his publications as he has with his own, the "Question Box" having gone into a second edition inside of two months. But more literature is needed, for religious thought today is not what it was 40 years ago, though perhaps he should say "irreligious" thought.

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
It is impossible for McQuaid to leave home at the present time. The State of New York is establishing a place in Livingston County (New York, Sonyea, State Institute for Epileptics) for the care of indigent epileptics. McQuaid thinks that it is the only one in the U.S. and the location is admirably adapted. At the last annual report the Managers showed 378 inmates, all that could be accommodated. There are 800 applicants waiting for admission. Over 50% in the institution are Catholics. Provision has been made for two chaplains, one Catholic and one non-Catholic. The present chapel is a large room used by both. McQuaid proposed to build a chapel and residence for Catholics alone. His offer has been warmly accepted. McQuaid intends that the Rochester diocese shall bear one-half of the cost and the other dioceses of New York the other half. The whole cost will be about $8,000. This arrangement may in time lead to similar arrangements in other places. McQuaid will send a copy of the annual report. The basement story of the new (St. Bernard's) Seminary building is nearly complete.

O'Rorke, Father (Thomas) Frank:
Monroe, (Michigan)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
One so well up in the liturgical year as Brownson should not expect pay day from a priest, who purchases after Christmas, until Easter. Father O'Rorke encloses a check for $6 and wishes that the third volume of Brownson's Life were available. He will retain the Priscian a little longer and asks Whether Brownson has played the game called "Bluff".

Seton, Mgr. Robert:
Jersey City, N(ew) J(ersey)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He regrets to learn that Edwards suffered so severely from the grippe. Seton passed the winter without a severe cold but this morning he feels an acute pain in the lower part of his back. At a reception in the Director's Room after the spring opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he met a beautiful young Miss Vanbrugh Livingston who is a recent convert. He is flattered to hear that Edwards likes his book so much. The small edition of 500 is nearly exhausted. He is sorry to hear Da Costa (Benjamin F. De Costa and Father Pardow, S.J. attacked by Reiner in the Freeman's Journal apropos of the infallibility of the Scriptures.

Tyler, Edward:
New York, (New York)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Tyler appreciates Hudson's words about "The Literary Digest" and is glad he thinks the religious department fair to all parties. He fears he is too much of a latitudinarian to call himself a Catholic except in the broadest sense. Tyler is constantly aware of the misconceptions of the Church so prevalent among non-Catholics. He is frequently unable to get suitable matter on the Catholic side of certain questions.

to (James F. Edwards:

It is an age since they heard from Edwards. She knows that Edwards has not forgotten them. She is writing to ask him to spend the summer with them. They have only waited to recall Edwards' promise when there was some particular attraction. This year it came in the Exposition. They had little of Edwards' company on his former visits as he had the great responsibility of his poor young friend. They are at a charming seashore place for a few weeks.

Lentz, Father F. G.:
Bement, Illinois
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Lentz encloses a check for "Brownson's Middle Life." He is seldom home, for he is usually banging about preaching to non-Catholics, a work he enjoys, but in which there is in insufficient help. But the spirit is growing, and it will be but a few years until there is an organized effort made everywhere.

Lee, Frederick George:
(London, England)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Lee hopes to soon send a short poem and a three page article on "The French Emigre in 1794 and 1799". He is distressed about the war in Africa. The paganism and unitarianism of the English rabble is fearful. Out of 100 there are only 5 in sympathy with the Boers; Lee is one of the latter. He detests democracy. (Stephen John Paul) Kruger's appeals to God are noble.

Edwards must have had a good time at the theater when Mr. O'Neal was there. There is lots of fun in Milwaukee but not the same kind of fun as in school. He has been in training ever since he came home and is running pretty good now.
