He can't begin to tell how sorry he is that he missed the trip with Edwards last summer. Edwards' letter never reached him till the day he sailed. He is in Kankakee and is rushed to death with work. His first experience in a boarding house is one which the fellows say will spoil him for all such places in the future. He has the best things to eat. He had a gay time in New York last summer.

Mt. Lamar, (Bardstown, Kentucky)

Louisville, K(entuck)y
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Owing to an eruption with one of his instructors he is out of a class this hour and so has time to write. He is glad his present pleased Edwards.

(Carroll), Francis E.:
Boston, (Massachusetts)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
He is working away the old standmaking over old organs and sometimes cleaning consciences. It is a merry and a sad life that a professional man often meets with in the daily routine and no Christianity but rank agnosticism and materialism is stalking around. The east winds from the ocean are very penetrating and so productive of lung trouble. The photos he sends were taken by Alice and himself.

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Richardson feels that as the Church in Utah appears officially to side with Mormonism, it cannot be the Church of God. The present senator from Utah, (Thomas Kearns), elected to protect rape and incest, is a Catholic; no Catholic prelate cries against the infamy.

How many volumes of Theiner's Clement XIV are there? Is there not only one volume of Cretineau Joly's reply? Father (Frederick) Faber says in one of his books that the Jesuits often mistake the glory of the Society for the glory of God.

It was the mercy of God that his articles did not go where they might have gone. Now the catechism is not going in England, but an American priest has ordered 100; Father (Cyrill) Van der Donckt of Pocatello, Idaho wrote for 500. The C(atholic) T(ruth) S(ociety) asked Bellord for 50 pamphlets. He hopes (James) Britten will write to Hudson.

It is very strange and interesting to notice the various relations among human beings. Last fall she came pretty near losing her life by blood poisoning. That was when Edwards came from Europe with a broken ankle. She wonders what became of the horsy Englishman who grew so attached to Edwards. All feelings are known and understood in Rome.

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The priest in charge of the wine business wrote to Hudson's correspondent in India that St. Bernard's declined requests of agencies to handle its altar wine. Since becoming a priest 50 years ago two dominant thoughts have been in McQuaid's mind: first, that the building of the Church in America must come from its priesthood, and second, the gathering into its schools of all Catholic children. The clipping he sends (no enclosure) shows a step in advance by bringing together in later years those educated in Catholic schools. The mission clipping gave McQuaid's remarks at the funeral of Father (James J.) Leary.
