Kiefer, Herbert:
Louisville, K(entuck)y
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He is a school boy once more after his first attempt at work and one of the most pleasant summers he has known. School life is a cinch compared with real work. He hopes Edwards will come to the interstate fair. The launch built by the boys of the school is now on the river and is a great success.

Tiernan, F(rances) C(hristine):
Salisbury, N(orth) C(arolina)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Tiernan will communicate with the Boston law firm whose address Hudson sent. She is very prejudiced against Marlier. Not once has he made an open statement of his difficulties and asked for indulgence. Would Hudson like to begin "A Daughter of the Sierra" in the Ave Maria?

Olmsted, C.S.C., Father William A.:
New York, (New York)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
He had been out to Edwards' stopping place in Jersey City five or six times and always found him out. His leg is doing well. The longer he remains away from Notre Dame the surer will be his cure. He wanted something to devert his mind from himself so he applied for and was assigned for such a time as he might be compelled to remain in New York to work at the Sisters of Good Shepherd and Maternity Hospital where he says Mass and does full parish work. He does not know what he is to do at Notre Dame. If it is nothing, he does not want that sort of obedience and would prefer not to go back. He is doing more of the work of a priest there than he ever had a chance to do at Notre Dame. He would like to know if Edwards can advise him what his obedience is. The sisters in many ways show their appreciation of his work. (P.S.) He asks if they expect him at Notre Dame or if they want him back at all.

Taunton, Father Ethelred L.:
London, (England)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Taunton thanks Hudson for the amusing extracts from the Jesuited press. Knowing that the book had not reached America for future sale, it makes one sad to see such an evident desire to make people resist the Known Truth. Taunton has had two kind and encouraging letters from Archbishop (John) Ireland. The Paulists report that the Jesuits are giving it out that Taunton is insane. John Lane is bringing out this autumn. Taunton's "Thomas Wolsey, Legate and Reformer". He hopes to winter in southern Spain. Cardinal (Herbert) Vaughan has made another mess over St. Edmund's body. He sends two anagrams. He expects to be in London next week.

Shaw, Fred C.:
Chicago, (Illinois)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He writes to ask Edwards to extend to Frank Woodruff the same kindness Edwards showed to him. There are some things about the way Edwards treated Shaw at Notre Dame that he will never forget. Frank's father lives in England but Frank won't live in England, no doubt because his father is married a second time. He wants Edwards to make the boy feel at home.

to (James F. Edwards:

Here he is again after his run-away. The doctors thought he would be laid up for six weeks. His father is sending a young fellow to Notre Dame and Dorrance will probably take him down. He was asked to be a pall-bearer at Bob Funk's funeral but he could not go on account of his hip. It is too bad for Bob, he had a bright future. Willie goes to Cornell next Saturday.

The retreat-giving season is over and Russell is now settled in the same spot. He does not know if it is yet in his power to get the material for the papers Hudson suggests. Father (John B.?) Hogan, late of Boston, often speaks of Hudson.

to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
According to his promise he sent 8 old vestments, six of which were worn by the late Father J J. O'Connell, O.S.B., author of "Catholicity in Carolinas and Georgia". The plain white vestment is from St. Mary's Church, Richmond, Va. He would be grateful if Edwards could spare duplicate books as their library suffered from a fire and besides is a young institution.

to (James F. Edwards:

His brother left soon after Edwards and he feels lonely. The red vestments Edwards sent arrived safely. His parish distinguished itself above all others in expressing their sorrow at the deed and their sorrow for the President's death. Mr. Doonan will pack the books and pictures for Notre Dame. Seton is a little anxious about the small pension from his church as there may be successors who will demurr. He asks if Notre Dame would be willing to give him $625 for his library of about 2800 books. He is sending 39 pictures to Edwards.

Erskine has been lately elected a member of a ladies' club called Travellers and Scribblers. Only two members are Catholics, Erskine and Mrs. Joseph Ficklin. The subject of her paper is Savonarola; she asks what life she ought to read. They were sorry to hear of the death of (Eliza Allen) Starr.

Fish, F(rederick) S. and others:
South Bend, Indiana
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
They invite Edwards to join the Sunnyside Golf Club. Golf is a most healthful and interesting exercise. To be thoroughly enjoyed it should be played often. A busy man needs to have his golf course convenient to his office. It is not intended to be a country club. The nine holes will be ready soon. A commodious club house will be erected at once.

Breen, William P.:
Fort Wayne, Ind(iana)
to (James F. Edwards:

He is grateful for the cabinet picture which accompanied the letter. Father Bather the chancellor seems to think that the antiquity of the bibles gives them a commercial value which the Bishop should consider. This inclines Breen to the belief that Edwards may not be able to procure the bibles.

McAfee, Sister M(ary) Augustine:
Louisville, (Kentucky)
to Henry (F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Brownson will excuse her, a stranger, for addressing him as she is a convert. For nearly twenty years she has been an admirer of the writings of Orestes A. Brownson. Sister Augustine is determined to collect a library for the use of non-Catholics in Louisville. As a religious she has no means at her disposal except requesting donations from authors, publishers, and anyone who may be inclined to join her work of charity. She begs Brownson to consider her request. She thanks God that the world has been blessed by such a man as his father whose crypt at Notre Dame she visited some years back. If Brownson desires a reference, he may contract Father (Francis) Solanus (Schaefer, O.S.F.), a Franciscan, who was her chaplain for three years.

Alexander asks Brownson if the controversial story entitled "The Two Brothers; Or Why Are You a Protestant" which appeared in the New York Freeman's Journal beginning December 30, 1899, is available in pamphlet or cheap cover form being an excellent thing for distribution among non-Catholics.

Olmsted, (C.S.C.), Father William A.:
New York, (New York)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
He received Edwards' letter with interest. His work is not hard and mental rest and peace away from Notre Dame makes life easier. There are many improvements going on in the city. He will like to work with Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.) and hopes to be with him soon. He appreciates what the Provincial told him: that his health is more important than Corby Hall and to take a rest, regain his health and return. He likes New York. Some of the things that happened before he left turned him against Notre Dame somewhat. He hopes the enrollment is large. Father (Andrew) Morrissey (C.S.C.) is a dear good man and Olmsted does not blame him for letting him out of Corby. He lists some books he wants Edwards to see are safe. He is glad (Theodore) Roosevelt is president. He won't fuss over the way he was treated by some; he will live to see the hypocrites buried. (P.S.) He asks to be remembered to the Provincial, Fathers Hudson and Morrissey.

All the cases of books sent to Notre Dame should be numbered or initialed R. S. so that they will not be mixed with other books from Benzigers'. He says there should be nearly 3000 volumes. He asks Edwards to count them and let him know. He has lost books through Benzigers' men before.

Seton, Mgr. Robert:
Jersey City, (New Jersey)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
Edwards' letter did not entirely satisfy him because he writes of drawing on his own salary. Father Foy thinks that he could have got a great deal more for his books but the books go to Notre Dame. Seton has never before sold anything of hiw own but he needs the money. He has never before been in want of money. Seton's nerves are easily set jarring. He is so little master of his sentiments that he cannot trust himself to preach of certain things because he cannot do so without tears. He feels sure that if he remained longer there living the lonely introspective life that he is doomed to live amid those surroundings, it would not be for long. He is taking some things to Rome with him and if he finds the Procurator (C.S.C.) a sympathetic person, he will leave the things to Notre Dame when he dies.
