Bessell, Geo. E.:
Mount Vernon, N(ew) Y(ork)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He received Edwards' letter saying he expected to be with Father McGrath the first of that week and concluded that Edwards had gone west as he did not see him. Archbishop for $25 as it is doubtful whether he could sell enough copies to pay for the cost of reproduction.

(Cleveland, Ohio)
to (James F. Edwards:

The doctors say he must leave Cleveland for at least a half year. He expects to leave for the west in the fall and will stop off in South Bend on the way. He is going to rough it to a finish. He sends his love to dear Mrs. Fish.

Todd, Ad:
Paris, (France)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He hopes Edwards will excuse him for not having written sooner to thank him for the History of the United States. Perhaps Edwards will have heard of the loss of their dear boy. A few weeks later they left Paris to escape the very painful remembrances. That is why he is so late in writing.

Rhodius, M(arie) by Werner:
Indianapolis, Ind(iana)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
George left for Chicago; he is doing well but his health is not the best. She thinks it best that he remain away during the elections as there will be so many occasions to drink. She had much work in looking after Louise's belongings. (Mrs. Orsbach) is now relieved of all human suffering.

Seton, Mgr. Rob(ert):
Jersey City, N(ew) J(ersey)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
It is singular how non-Catholic firms are ahead of Catholic firms. Seton finds Benzigers quite inferior to large non-Catholic firms. They promised to send an expert book-packer to pack his books, but sent only common workmen. Seton must have written Edwards under great excitement. This infirmity of temper is a hereditary trait in the Seton family. He reminds Edwards not to forget the introduction to the Procurator of the Order in Rome.

S(toddard), C(harles) W(arren):
(Washington, District of Columbia)
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
When he returned Stoddard found the bungalow in chaotic state. Ken(neth O'Connor) had plunged into debt. Stoddard's father is very ill; his sister, an invalid, hastens home to his bedside. His brother is in a hospital in California. Stoddard again fears he will have to abandon the bungalow. (Maurice Francis) Egan volunteered his criticism of "Mosquito Coast".

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, (New York)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson is mistaken in saying that Father (Martin J.?) Clun(e)y was educated at St. Bernard's. He was educated in St. Andrew's preparatory seminary, then in the Provincial Seminary at Troy, finishing at St. Mary's, Baltimore to which he had to go on account of his health. Without trouble McQuaid could point out thirty or more priests such as Cluney. He has not one now that gives scandal. Hudson will be welcomed if he pays them a visit. Training a successor for the headship of St. Bernard's is the difficulty of difficulties. When McQuaid started St. Bernard's he chose one to be put in training, hoping that in 3 or 4 years he could put him in full charge. But he will never answer for rector. Bishop (John Joseph) Clancy of Elphin leaves today for the West, calling at Notre Dame.

Stoddard will remain in the bungalow until he sees his way to something better. A friend sent him a copy of "Silver Jubilee of the University of Notre Dame", June 23, 1869. On the fly leaf is written Salmon P. Chase, chief justice U.S., compliments of Father W(illiam) Corby, (C.S.C.). The book was picked up by Stoddard's friend, DeWitt Miller, a lecturer who travels all over the country. He also sent the first edition of "Leaves of Grass".

Carroll, Francis E.:
Boston, (Massachusetts)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
He sent Edwards 120 pounds of that "Roxbury Pudding Stone" from Roxbury, Massachusetts. If it is not sufficient he will send more. The stone is fast disappearing. A national sorrow has come and gone since they last met. To him Edwards was not a day older than when Carroll first sought his kind association.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, Wis(consin)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Doyle apologizes to Brownson. The Weekly Register of Sep. 28 was found among the newspapers. He calls Brownson's attention to the "Tablet" of Sep. 14, 21, and 28 in which a Jesuit objected to becoming a cure because the jurisdiction of the Pope and bishop was incompatible. Has Brownson read Father Tyrell's "Nova et Vetera" concerning devotion to the Sacred Heart? The "Eccles(iastical) Review" mentions an article in the "Etudes" defending the nine First Fridays. Had he not been so busy, Doyle might have been tempted to write something on Development himself.

F(elicia, C.S.C.), Sister M.:
(Jacksonville, Illinois)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
She excuses herself for not thanking Edwards for calling on her sister. Edwards is so kind and good that she knows he will excuse her. Really she does not have a minute to herself. Mother General was there and promised that she could come home next vacation, but it (Notre Dame) is never home to her any more. She wants Edwards to come and see her and will not take any excuse.

Muhler, C.:

Edwards' picture is splendid and it bears a conspicuous place on their mantle. This has been another disagreeable day. He sees where Notre Dame defeated yesterday but it must have been a good game.

Ireland, Archbishop John:
St. Paul, Minn(esota)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Ireland has not found leisure to revise his discourse on the Divinity of Christ. A letter from Father (Ethelred L.) Taunton with a summary of his Wolsey does indicate that it will be a sensation.

In his last note he referred to the Preface of "Nova a et Vetera," it should have been pp. 119, 120. It takes him 11 days to get his Tablet unless it is published in advance of the publication date.

Hyland & CO., J.S.
Chicago, (Illinois)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
They write to ask if Edwards can let them have 15 or 20 pictures for their historical publication. The work is a general history of the Catholic Church since the landing of Columbus and pictures of Catholic statesmen, soldiers, and many others will be most interesting.

Seton, Mgr. Robert:
Jersey City, N(ew) J(ersey)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
He is sorry he gave Edwards the trouble for that item. He is morally certain he paid for the engraving of his arms on the tray and pitcher. In 30 years Seton has probably spent a thousand dollars at Tiffany's. It was foolish but there was some sentiment in it. His mother's wedding jewels were bought at Tiffany's. Seton has been exceedingly scrupulous in all money dealings with the church and only recently made the church pay for stationery when used for official purposes. He applied to the Editor of the "Commercial Advertiser" for position of Roman Correspondent and asked that his identity be kept from Archbishop Corrigan. He wants Edwards' opinion and advice on the matter. He thinks he could write interesting letters from Rome.

Taunton, Father Ethelred (L.):
(London, England)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Taunton returns the proof which is correct. He leaves on the 26th and gets to Granada as soon as he can. He is sorry the Catholic World has turned nasty. But they have to look after their own interest. What Hudson says about Archbishop (John) Ireland is interesting; since he read Taunton's book he has not written. The facts in "Wolsey" show that England was sacrificed to the temporal power. Taunton sends an extract from his notebook. He was glad to read what Hudson said about (S. Baring?) Gould of Philadelphia. Taunton met him at a friend's house and they mutually took.

She thanks him for his well meant words of consolation. She has been out at Crown Hill several times and although the drives have a mournful character, they do her good. It must be the fresh air and sunshine. She wishes from the bottom of her heart that Charles will turn out a good man. George is home and doing nicely.

McQuaid, Archbishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
McQuaid thanks Hudson for the complimentary article. Often the acknowledgement of good work comes after death. Of late so much praise is coming to him that he fears the reward may come on this life and not in the next. As soon as the industry of altar-wine making was put on a paying basis, the property was passed over to St. Bernard's. A seminary to be successful needs to be independent. This means it should be financially strong. If a seminary has to court the favor of patrons or students it will not be able to do the best work.

Donovan, Joseph P.:
Chicago, Ill(inois)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
On page 325 of "Brownson's Early Life" in a letter from R. B. Rhett to Brownson is a sentence which Donovan would like explained. Rhett says that "the first mind in England" has pronounced Orestes to be the greatest genius in America. To whom does Rhett refer as the first mind of England? Often, supposedly educated people ask Donovan who Orestes Brownson was and usually answers with this quotation. His reply would be more forceful if he knew just exactly who said this and at the same time he himself would learn one more incident of that great and noble life.

He wrote Edwards in interest of James Sheny who is in St. Joseph's Hall and asks Edwards to remember him when he has an opening in the library. He saw Father Zahm and John Guthrie on Broadway, but he did not call.
Maybe Zahm is afraid of the Bowery.
