Mulholland, St. Clair:
Philadelphia, (Pennsylvania)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)

Kiefer, Herbert:
Louisville, K(entuck)y
to (James F.) Edwards:
He was glad to receive Edwards' jollying letter. A rustic American cannot expect to walk over a slick floor like a polished Frenchman. It was lucky Mr. Huffer was near enough to save Edwards from a very serious injury. Mother has been confined to her room for about three weeks owing to an accident she received when trying to interfere with John and him in a "rough house". He is sorry Edwards lost his trip to Oberammergau.

Fox, Ned:
Chicago, Illinois
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
He thinks he is going to like his work in Chicago. He is living in a Fraternity house on Ashland. He will pay Edwards a visit when he gets time. Oh, to be a doctor, won't that be fine! He wishes Edwards would remember him to Mr. and Mrs. Fish and the Studebakers as they are the only people who know how to be nice to young boys away at school.

Morise, C.:
Paris, (France)
to (James F. Edwards):
She is sorry to hear of Edwards' accident and hopes it will soon be all right. She did what Edwards asked and found nothing in the room that the young man occupied. It was such a small object that it may easily have been swept away. She is careful as she can be but really cannot be responsible for all her boarders.

Dorsey, Ella Loraine:
Washington, District of Columbia
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Dorsey is coming to Notre Dame next Sunday on her way from Chicago to Cleveland. If the Sisters had not bound her to silence, the country would have rung with their work. She has sheaves of letters from General Officers and Surgeons-incharge; it is this material she is going to put in a book. When Dorsey found what injustice was being done by her silence, she determined to speak. She got the vouchers. The whole story of the service of the Sisters of Charity is fascinating. Dorsey is sending some interesting matter for the Ave. Dorsey asked and obtained permission to publish R. C. Kerens' letter. Kerens is such a staunch Catholic she thinks his word will carry weight. She is deeply interested in Dr. (Archbishop Placide-Louis?) Chapelle's statement in the New York Herald. What a pity the Catholics invited to be on that Committee declined.

F(olk), J. A(lbert):
Joliet, Ill(inois)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Paris, France
He was sorry to hear of Edwards' misfortune on the stairs. It must have been hard to stay in bed in such a lively place. The cane he bought in Paris was 12 francs. Mama is pleased with the pin Edwards selected for him.

( ), Belle:
New York, (New York)
to
She has just returned from the dock after seeing Harry off. Such a crowd and such pushing and crowding she never saw before. Harry worked so hard he deserves the trip. He wants her to send some Hendryx Rye to him at the Hotel Cecil in London. (In James F. Edwards' collection)

Peoria, Ill(inois)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Spalding returns Harris' letter. Mary Anderson has written for a copy of the "Roman Discourse". Spalding has not had courage to go to Washington for the University meeting. Archbishop (John Joseph) Keane, he understands, has made an excellent impression in Dubuque. He had hoped Father Dan would be appointed.

Dell, Frank E.:
(Indianapolis, Indiana)
to (James F.) Edwards:

Foley, Byrd:
St. Mary's, (Notre Dame, Indiana)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Paris, France)
It was a pleasant surprise to receive Edwards' letter. Edwards must be having a delightful time. She wishes she were there. She did not return to St. Mary's until late. Charlie is a "full fledged business man" now. She wishes he will come and tell her of his trip when he returns.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to (Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Michigan)
He encloses part of his reply to Rev. Fr. Brucker and in connection with it he refers Brownson to Volume 20; he gives page citations, and quotes, where Orestes A. Brownson mentioned the subject of Christ's human nature. He encloses an A.P.A. circular which quotes Brownson. He discusses articles in periodicals on the development theory as seen in Newman. He supposes Brownson read Godkin's arraignment of McKinley in the Evening Post; what does he think of it?

Murray, James A.:
London, O(hio)
to James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
Edwards will do him a favor by sending him James Whitcomb Riley's address. A lecture is to be given under the auspices of the Catholic Order of Foresters and as a member of the Committee he was instructed to correspond with Riley. He still has a lively interest in Notre Dame

O'Byrne, J. J.:
Brooklyn, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Father Thomas F. McGare, Haverstraw, N.Y., writes O'Byrne that he will not take the set of Brownson's Works shipped him because he believes he can buy them from Brownson cheaper and because Father (Joseph L.) Hoey of New York City bought a set from Brownson at less than the $42.50 O' Byrne charged Father McGare for the set he reclaimed from (John C. Harrigan). Brownson is to inform O'Byrne at once whether any of this is true.

H(udson, C.S.C.), Father D(aniel) H.:
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
The new Prof. (Alphaeus B.) Reynolds told him that Edwards was to return last month. Later he heard that Edwards had taken passage and then Father Fitte told him that he was not to sail until the end of the month. Reynolds says he feels at home and likes the place. Hudson should judge that he is a good teacher. The old Washington Hall and its contents were entirely destroyed by fire. Hudson tries to see Mother Ascension every month. It was the General's request that he should do so. What a delightful trip Edwards has had! Edwards speaks of the Huffers just as Archbishop Keane does. He can believe all that Edwards says of their beautiful home life. Edwards' old friend Sister Elizabeth is infirm physically but bright and active. There was an epidemic of diptheria in South Bend last month.

Stratford, Ontario, Canada
to (James F.) Edwards:
It is now five years since he was last at Notre Dame, the guest of Father Corby. He wrote twice to Father Cooney but got no reply.

New York, (New York)
to (James F.) Edwards:
He is afraid his last letter did not reach Edwards. He writes to show that he gladly remembers the nice time he spent in Edwards' company. He hopes that Edwards enjoyed his stay in Paris as much as he did his in Germany. His coal is nicely progressing. The return trip was slow.

Loewenstein, A. Deutsche Verlags-Anstatt:
Stuttgart, (Germany)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Paris, (France)
They received the letter in which he makes his order, the money order, and the postcards. They sent his order for photos of the Oberammergau Passion Play to the firm in Paris which handles them. (Note on reverse side:) the publishers in Stuttgart wrote that his order had been transmitted to them. He was in their store and bought two sections of the cards of the Passion Play. He asks that they return the 2 franc 50 and that they mail the enclosed cards at Oberammergau.

O'Byrne encloses a check for $1.82 for the Vol. 6 sent to Father Thomas F. McGare, to whom he has just written, enclosing Brownson's post card. However, it doesn't matter much, for he took the set at $40, since a few of the volumes were somewhat damaged, and have paid for it.

Crochet, Father J(ohn) M(ary):
Nagpore, India
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Crochet thanks Hudson for the letters and checks. The nuns have made 28,930 baptisms of infants "in articulo mortis" from October 1, 1899 to September 30, 1900. With money and medicine the nuns can visit the families. They look to the second generation to possess Christians worth the name. It is sad to see the sums sent from American Protestant Societies to the Protestant missionaries in India. Their new bishop is not yet known.

Starbuck, Charles C.:
Andover, Mass(achusetts)
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
Starbuck is much obliged by Hudson's article nothing his work given in the Ave Maria. The reason that Protestant writers are in general prejudiced and ignorant is the assumption that Roman Catholicism is a mere mass of superstition. He is obliged for Bishop (John Lancaster) Spalding's sermon. As he says, the old contest between Catholics and Protestants has lost much of its force in view of the more fundamental controversies of the present. Like Father (John A.) Zahm, (C.S.C.), Spalding shows that you can never make truth a heresy. Starbuck is glad that Archbishop (John Joseph) Keane has been installed at Dubuque, although that only imperfectly redresses his removal from the rectorship. He sees that Spalding does not seem daunted by that somewhat supererogatory letter on Americanism, nor by the victorious dislike of certain Jesuits against Rossini. The "Spectator" is mistaken on the decline of Quakerism. Starbuck thinks that the "Tablet" ought to give the proof reader a good rap. This is about the most composed Presidential campaign he has known. Neither Starbuck nor his son, Eric (Starbuck), mean to vote. He has not got beyond viewing (William) McKinley as a piece of putty and (Theodore) Roosevelt as a braggart.
