(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Yesterday O'Kennedy forwarded "The Transfiguration". He was glad to see that Longfellow's daughter is a Catholic.

O'Kennedy sends a scoop that a Mrs. Gavin related to him.

Milwaukee, Wis(consin)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Doyle encloses the copy of an article in the Irish Ecclesiastical Review. He finds nothing more than the usual arguments in favor of an eternity of punishment for the wicked on p. 315 of "Protestant Infidelity." He has asked Father (William B.) Rogers, S.J., President of Marquette College, whether Divine or human substance is done away with, and he promises an answer.

Fitte, C.S.C., Father S(tanislaus) F.:
Notre Dame, Indiana
to James (F.) Edward(s):
(Paris, France)
It is settled that Fitte will not go to Europe this year. The annual retreat is over, so is the Chapter. Very few changes at Notre Dame. Father (James A.) Burns goes to Washington to replace Father Peter J.) Franciscus who is appointed Superior of the missionary band so far composed of Father (Peter) Klein and Father Peter Lauth. Father (John J.) O'Rourke replaces Father (John) O'Keeffe who goes as pastor to Austin, Texas with Father Jos(eph) Kirsch as assistant. Father (James) Rogers comes to Notre Dame as superior of the Professed House and assistant pastor. Fitte has seen in the papers that Archbishop (John) Ireland delivered the oration at the unveiling of Lafayette's statue. Maybe Edwards was present. No official news yet concerning the see of Fort Wayne although the prospects brighten in favor of Father John Guendling. Father (D.M.J.) Dowling, vicar-general of Chicago is dead and buried. Both missions of Father Tim(othy) O' Sullivan will soon have residing pastors. Archbishop (Patrick William) Riordan is expected to land today after an absence of ten months. Fitte is sure Edwards is enjoying his stay in the capital of France.

(Huffer), Estelle:
Houlgate-Beuzeval, Calvados
to (James F. Edwards):
Tomorrow or Tuesday Edwards will be at Cherbourg. They are just leaving for the seashore and Edwards can meet them there. It is much better for Edwards to recuperate first and then go on to Paris to see the Exposition. No doubt Edwards heard of the terrible fire at the N. Y. Lloyd docks. No passengers were in the ships that burned.

Randall, Father W(illia)m E.:
St. Louis, M(iss)o(uri)
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Randall asks whether the quotation he gives from the Summa Theologica, Pars Prima, Quaestio LXXXIV, is in substance a very satisfactory confirmation of Dr. (Orestes A. Brownson)'s doctrine of Intuition, or whether he makes too much of, or wrests from their proper meaning, St. Thomas' words.

F(oley), Byrd M.:
Paris, France
to (James F.) Edwards:
As much as she was pleased to hear from Edwards she was disappointed to learn of his being so near and yet so far. They have been in Paris two weeks and are having a fine time, but it is fearfully hot. They would have liked to have been on the same steamer as Edwards. She met quite a few young men on the boat. One could spend months seeing the many things in Paris.

Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
to (James F. Edwards:
Paris, France)
He was glad Edwards visited Mgr. Seton before leaving the country. The long vacation will give Edwards a new lease on life. Bishop (John Lancaster) Spalding has invited him to Peoria but he has arranged for Spalding to come to him. He does not care to go alone and he cared less about going with those who proposed to accompany him. Brother Augustus died suddendly. Father James A. Burns, (C.S.C.) goes to Washington next year; Father (James) Rogers (C.S.C.) will replace him. Father (John) O'Keefe goes to Austin. Father (Patrick) Condon (C.S.C.) is very feeble.

Next week he is going to hunt deer.

(Foley), Byrd:
Folkestone, England
to (James F.) Edwards:

As they could only stay a few days at any watering place, they thought it just as well to stop there. They crossed the channel from Calais. It makes her frantic to think of the fine place Edwards is and so near Paris. Well, there is no use lamenting the fact now. They leave Monday for Scotland and will sail from Liverpool Saturday.

He thought Edwards was going over with the Foleys. He wrote to Birdie wishing her a safe voyage. He thinks he will come down is September to spend a few days with Edwards. He wishes he was going back there instead of Rush. He will miss those morning visits with Edwards when he used to skip drawing and go down to see Edwards and then they would make coffee and eat Uneeda biscuts. When he goes down there they can go to Nichols and hove one of his good beefsteaks.

Berlin, (Germany)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Edwards listened to the gossip of some of the passengers on the Graf Waldersee. Mr. Parsons is well married and has a wife and daughter living. She does not care for that gossip a bit. It shows that people were not aware of a true feeling of hers. She enjoyed all that Edwards wrote about the historical places.

Sister gives Hudson the news of the death of Bishop C(harles) F(elix) Pelvat, which took place July 23. He fell a victim to cholera. He had been constantly to and from the famine affected districts. He was always where distress and misery prevailed. The Bishop was very popular there. He used to spare himself every comfort so as to have more for the poor. Sister asks Hudson to send donations in care of Father John Mary Crochet(?), Vicar General. Even the Protestant ministers and the native Rajahs came to the Bishop's burial.
