(Funk, Robert) Bob:
Los Angeles, (California)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
Edwards ought to spend his winters in California. Life is too short to be exposed to the icy cold of Indiana. After the summer he is going to return to California to drill for oil. It is strange how everyone says college days were the happiest of their lives. He sees by the papers that they are after Notre Dame University again about pure athletics. Notre Dame ought to get in line with the rest of the universities, although he does not think that athletics are any better elsewhere.

Spearman, Frank H.:
Wheaton, Ill(inois)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Spearman's eldest half brother, Dr. ( ) Spearman of Milwaukee died at St. Joseph's Hospital, Philadelphia. He was 72 and a full brother of Pauline's grandmother, Lizzie Lancaster. The papers ring with praises of his kindness to the poor, yet he was cruel to his father and his sister. No one but Mrs. ( ) Cramer, a Catholic and wife of the owner of the Evening Wisconsin of Milwaukee shed genuine tears at the grave. There is a bare chance he may have died a Catholic. Spearman hopes to have a first draft of a novel complete in a month. What does Hudson know of the Collier people? The managing editor is C. F. Bourke. They paid Spearman $391 for four stories they are printing. They are expecting Pauline and her grandmother for lunch today from Evanston where they are at Harry (Spearman)'s for a few days.

to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
All that he has written and published has passed from Stoddard. Stoddard would be glad to have a line to (William S.) Booth of Macmillan's but he fears they will not care to issue his Italian notes. (Francis) Marion Crawford has a corner on that sort of thing.

S(eton), Mgr. Robert:
Jersey City, (New Jersey)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He thanks Edwards for the Easter greetings. If Edwards hears people talking of his having left Rome or not having remained in Rome, he is to say that Seton's most heartfelt desire was to have remained in Rome and that he only returned in obedience to his ordinary who then abandoned him and did nothing to compensate Seton for the sacrifice.

Starr, Eliza Allen:
Chicago, (Illinois)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Starr was delighted to find Starr taking so kindly to the electrotyping. Archbishop (Patrick Augustine) Feehan has been generous and has shown interest in her work. Bishop (John) McMullen took her first book through the press. Starr appreciated the generosity of her friends at Notre Dame and St. Mary's which her godchild inaugurated.

Scully, Father Thomas:

to James F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The letter from the proprietor of the house formerly known as the Creighton House shows that the exact date of General (James) Shield's letter cannot be found. The letter was written in 1877 or 78. Edwards may learn the date from a son of Shield's now practicing law in Chicago.

Luke, Eugene R.:
Cambridge, (Massachusetts)
to Father Thomas Scully:
(Cambridgeport, Massachusetts)
He sends him a cross, a souvenir of the burning of the Convent in Somerville (Massachusetts) several years ago. The cross was given to his father who was employed in a general store at East Cambridge at the time of that sensational fire. There had been considerable excitement previously regarding the Convent and before the night in question muttered whisperings about its being burnt were frequent. Most of the participants of that night's doings have joined the silent majority.

Tracy, O.S.B., Father Urban:
Iberville Parish, L(ouisian)a
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Tracy understands that "A Later Life of O.A.Brownson" has been published by Brownson. He requests a copy. He has read Brownson's works for at least fifty years and heard him lecture 43 years ago in Cleveland, Ohio. Not knowing the price he will forward the amount on receipt of the book. The lepers are fierce devourerers of books and any literary donations will be gratefully received. Despite the danger of infection, at his age there is little to lose and he has resolved to remain there until his death. They have 30 patients.

Tracy, O.S.B., Father U(rban):
Iberville Parish, L(ouisian)a
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Tracy received his "Latter Life" and encloses the price of the book. It puzzles him that the title "Dr. Brownson" was not continued in the Latter Life. God bless the "women folks" for whatever they do for the poor lepers! He wishes they could come to the balmy South to escape the severe climate of Detroit. Probably more people die of pneumonia and lung troubles in the South than in Michigan. P.S. Their place is not exactly an island, but nearly so; it is about 100 miles from New Orleans near St. Gabriel.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Since the receipt of Henry's favor of March 27. Doyle has been twice in Cleveland and hoped to be able to stop in Detroit. He will try to stop on his way back from Buffalo where he expects to be on May 7. He quotes Father Harper, S.J., "Peace Through the Truth", pp. 202. The Dublin Review for April has an article on "Development" which severely condemns its being considered a Catholic work. This follows an article by W. H. Kent, O.S.C., in which he lauds Newman's Essay as an important contribution to Catholic theology and a literary masterpiece. Doyle has not read the article yet. He gives Harper's quotation of pp. 174 which is found in the same work. Since the weather is now fine and warm, Doyle presumes that the natural gas has resumed its old pressure but hopes that Henry will not be beguiled by it next winter.
