Kent, Mrs. Charles:
London, (England)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Kent is writing instead of her husband, Charles Kent, who is too ill to write. He wishes to present Hudson a complete set of his translation of old Latin hymns. Two years ago it was erroneously said that Charles Kent was dead. The mistake come from a confusion of his name with that of his son, Henry Charles (Kent), who died in 1898. Kent's eldest son, Father W(illiam) H(enry) Kent, is a frequent contributor to the Ave Maria. Kent gives to Hudson the copyright in America of the translations of Latin hymns.

Jubbulpore, India
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Crochet has been appointed bishop of Nagpore in place of Bishop Pelvat. He was consecrated at Madras by Archbishop (Joseph) Colgan, an Irishman of the old stock. He thanks Hudson for his charity. There is no way to convert the Indians except by charity. In the South of India conversions go on regularly and plentifully. Crochet apologizes for the delay in acknowledging receipt of the alms from Hudson.

Fairhurst, James:
London, (England)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Edwards' welcome letter with his photograph is a most agreeable memento of an absent friend. It was fortunate for the Portugese Father Antonio that Edwards met him and his sister in Paris for with Edwards' better knowledge of travel he could assist them. With regard to sending the postcards, it is only a small service to render to one who gives them the privilege of reading the "Ave Maria". The war drags on and is a dreadful affliction to everybody. The death of the good Queen also cast a gloom over everything. The accession of her son, Edward VI should bring good news to Catholics for his is most liberal in his leanings towards Catholics. In the first opening of Parliament it is doubtful whether the King even spoke the offensive declaration as to the Mass as no person standing alongside could possibly have heard them.

(Funk), Robert:
Los Angeles, Cal(ifornia)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
The doctors drained about 6½ quarts of liquid that had pressed about his heart. He was in serious condition but was ignorant of the fact. The doctor is elated over the way he is improving. One never has a dull moment in Los Angeles. The town is simply packed with tourists. He was sorry to hear that Col Hoynes was sick. He is seriously thinking of coming out to California to live.

Hammond, Dr. J. Lloyd:
Chicago, (Illinois)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
He remembers examining Edwards last summer. There is no reason why Edwards should be without his sight. It will not be a serious thing to complete the removal of the cataract. Hammond offers his services for the operation and will come to South Bend to do the work. There will be no expenses except his train fare.

to (James F.) Edwards:

Bristol, England
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
"Days of First Love" was not sent to Hudson. The work was published as an "In Memoriam" of an old friend and not for profit. Possibly Benzigers might like to reprint the booklet.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
Detroit, Michigan)
Doyle was in Detroit on the 8th but was detained in the hotel the whole day by visitors and was unable to call on Brownson; since, he has been in Pittsburgh and has been very busy. He asks whether Brownson has read the Joint Pastoral of the English bishops, published in the Jan. 5th and 12th London Tablet and republished in various American papers. It is very strong against liberalism and the development theory. He asks what Brownson thinks of a passage which he quotes from Vol. 1, p. 306 of Tanquerey's "Theology," which is taught at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. He thanks Brownson for the News-Tribune. He has not read Archbishop (John) Ireland's article, but he thinks that (John Henry Cardinal) Newman would fully agree with the editor of the News-Tribune. He does not see why the bishops do not specify the author of the development theory for reprobation. He asks whether the pressure of the natural gas has increased and supposes that after Brownson bought the stove he finds it unnecessary.

He forwarded the statue of St. Joseph to the lady and she admires it much. He certainly will never be able to fill the bill at this joint. He cannot stand this much longer.

(Orsbach, Mrs. Louise) Lou:

to (James F. Edwards:

Words cannot tell how much she enjoyed Edwards' nice letter. She is sorry to hear that Edwards is not recovering faster than he is. Mrs. Rush got a letter from Charles in which he says he hurt his finger. If he wants to ruin his hands playing baseball, he will not be able to take music lessons.

De Costa's 5,000 miles of travel talk are ended. He has made up the whole subject. If Hudson cannot use it he asks for it back. The time has come when Catholics should know the story of Mt. Benedict.

Klingman, Louise M.:
Louisville, (Kentucky)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
She has received so many beautiful postals with Edwards' initials that he seems like an old friend. He has been so kind that she does not know where to find his equal. Any favor he asks will be granted. She is at an awful age, 16, too old for long dresses and too young to play.

It is too bad that Edwards was taken sick with the grippe. The last two Sundays have been exceptionally fine and they all go driving. He is now getting a taste of college study, working for two or three hours every day on his trigonometry. John has a position as bill clerk in a wholesale establishment; it is about midnight when he gets home.
