Bellord, Bishop James:
Gibraltar
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Bellord asks Hudson to delay publication of the article in pamphlet form for a short time. He again reminds Hudson of the series of articles on St. Ephrem the Syrian. He has an article on the inspiration of the Bible. He fears it would hardly be for the general reader; it may have to go to the American Ecclesiastical Review.

Fernow, Sophie:

to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
She is glad to hear that Edwards' accident did not leave him in a weak condition but is not so relieved in hearing that he gave her that little cross for a mere souvenir. She thought he gave it as a moral stronghold. She spent New Years with Mr. Parsons and his daughter.

Salisbury, N(orth) C(arolina)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):

Tiernan sends more "Mexican Vistas". This makes the amount owed for the $200 paid. Does Hudson care for more?

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to (Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Michigan)
Brownson's letter is at hand; he is almost certain that he has seen Leibnitz's definition of substance in relation to the doctrine of transubstantiation. He discusses his teaching in relation to substitution, which came into vogue with the word "anhilation" at the time of the Oxford movement. He sent Brownson's Branchereau by express. (Note dated Feb. 7, 1901: He quotes Hurter as making Billot the author of the phrases in question and gives a Latin quotation from De. Augustinis, volume 1.)

(Funk, Robert) Bob:
Redlands, Cal(ifornia)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
It is just about a year ago that he made a big mistake. He thinks the cold icy winds of the lakes at Madison settled in his system. He can think of hundred things he did every day that helped run him down. He does not care to make any more plans until his health is better. He recalls Edwards' advice about leaving Notre Dame and thinks he would have been better off if he had thought the matter over more seriously. It has been raining in the land of sunshine for the past two weeks.

Spalding, Bishop J(ohn) L(ancaster):
Peoria, Ill(inois)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Spalding was glad to see the clipping from "Church Review". He has read Brownson's Life and can hardly add with pleasure. Fortunately it will not be widely read. He will be interested in the catechism the Bishop of Gibraltar is to publish. Father John A. Zahm, C.S.C., he hears, has gone to Europe. Spalding wrote to him to get a Lithuanian priest for him. He had Father (James A.) Burns, (C.S.C.), write that he would try to do so. Spalding asks Hudson to speak to the South Bend Father he met in Hudson's house and ask him how he may get a priest for the poor Lithuanians of Spring Valley and the surrounding towns.

S(toddard), C(harles) W(arren):
(Washington, District of Columbia)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Stoddard has dismissed from his mind all thoughts of ever going to Holy Cross College to live. He has dismissed his male attendant. Stoddard agrees with (A. J.) Faust that Hudson is the only Catholic editor from sea to sea. If he finishes his autobiography it might be the most popular book he has written. Stoddard is going to remain in the bungalow as long as he can pay the rent.

to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He is improving slowly. He has no appetite and does not rest well at night. He was very weak when he got through the baths today. This place is run by the Sisters of Charity. All are kind to him. There are a number of priests there. None of them are very sick.

Coppens, S.J., Father C(harles):
Omaha, Neb(raska)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Coppens thinks he can induce a couple of the Jesuit librarians to buy the three volumes of "Brownson's Life" and has told them that they can obtain a discount by applying to Brownson. He would not ask for this if they were not in financial straights. The 20 volumes of "Brownson's Works" are extensively studied at Creighton; and this year the $100 intercollegiate prize essay of the Missouri Province is directly about Orestes A. Brownson and his writings. Father Coppens is just over a four week attack of the grippe.

(Fox), Ned:
Chicago, Illinois
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
He wants Edwards to look him up the first time he comes to Chicago as he is crazy to see some old friend again. He likes his work with the exception of chemistry which is very hard for him. He never was a student and never did kill himself working. He would love to be back at Notre Dame and on the track team again. He certainly did enjoy himself down there.

(Hudson, C.S.C., Father Daniel E.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
to
The (Baltimore) Sun(Baltimore, Maryland)
Hudson has been a warm advocate of the Sun for many years. It was his first intention to say in print what he is now saying in private. He considers the Sun the ablest and most influential of American newspapers, but notices indications of a departure from its well-known traditions. In the issue of Feb. 9 is the Rev. Mr. Ament's revengeful demand only "a remark or suggestion?" In former times the Sun would have had a ringing editorial on this dispatch rebuking such an unchristian spirit. On the same page is a serious charge against Bishop ( ) Favier which was refuted two or three weeks ago in the "London Tablet," which the Sun receives. There is a distinctly friendly notice of a magazine published by the Rev. James O'Connor. This person is a renegade priest. O'Connor is a fair specimen of the average ex-priest and his publication, "The Converted Catholic", is the worst kind of anti-Catholic literature. The difference in moral status of those who join the Church and those who leave it is well-known. What importance attaches to O'Connor's periodical that it should he noticed by the "Sun?" Hudson has noticed lately inn the "Sun's" column the derisive word Romanist. The "Sun" has given editorial space to numerous communications expressing sympathy with the unfortunate ( ) Keller. Last week an account was given of a meeting of Methodist ministers who vilified the Philipaine friars and demanded their banishment of President (William) McKinley. The Taft Commission contradicts certain calumnies circulated by the Protestant clergy against the friars. The Protestant clergy had a fair field among the Indians in the U.S., but according to Charles H. Lummis, there is not one Indian tribe today belonging to any Protestant denomination. Has the "Sun" begun a policy of ignoring facts favorable to the Catholic Church? It would be deplorable if the most influential and authoritative journal in this country were to lesson its influence and authority—if it should ever descend so low as to deserve censure for weakness or injustice or intolerance.

Kilroy, Father E(dmund) B.:
Stratford, Ontario
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
He often wondered what became of Edwards. Poor Father (Peter) Cooney (C.S.C.) wrote Kilroy twice inside of two months. Kilroy hopes that Cooney has recovered his sight. So "Bro. Cuss" in gone with the rest. Poor "Father (Frances) Gousse"! Kilroy knew him well. Gousse was Father Sorin's "noire bete". (P.S.) A friend congratulated him the other day, stating that he read in the World Almanac that he was the oldest living graduate of Notre Dame, having graduated in 1859. But Kilroy is of the class of 1852.

Father Coppens is improving, but he thanks Brownson for his warnings about the dangers of convalescence from the grippe and is sorry to learn of his sufferings. Conformity to God's holy will and prayers for help, together with fidelity to medical advice, have aided him much. Brownson is to send three volumes each of "Brownson's Life" to Father James J. Conway, S.J., and to F. G(eorge) Dinneen, S.J., both of Creighton University, and the bill to Father Coppens.

He made the acquaintance of Frederic Harrison who said his son was a Catholic. Father (Daniel J.?) Riordan was in Washington lately and found (Maurice Francis) Egan well.

Dee is working and Louis is still at school. And Edwards the fellow who was always looking for a good time for them is still at his old station, ten to one helping others as he did them.

She has been requested to write some of the things she knows by personal experience of Henri Lasserre. A life by a certain ( ) Delousede is insufficient. Louis Conlin is now preparing a work on him. Rephel has given Colin her personal experiences with Lasserre. She was not mistaken in the warning she gave to Hudson not to publish the relation of the cure of Mrs. ( ) Petersen given by Father Edmund (Hill, C.P.?). Rephel met Archbishop (John) Ireland in Rome last summer. He knows Mrs. P.; she resided in his parish and he declares her to be a bad woman and an imposter. Father Edmund did not know who wrote to Hudson from Lourdes.
