Anson, Geo(rge) M.:
Merrill, (Wisconsin)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
Speaking of things personal he must say that tends to remind him of a matter whereby he presumes he must have been the object of much attack. He is much inclined to care little for what people say but he lost his lady love. He had the excuse offered that his religious views were of a character which might provoke future misunderstanding. Anything that points to rapid transit matrimonial conclusions betwixt Anne and some other lucky man will be welcome news. He is pleased to learn that Father Morrissey is on the road to recovery. There is no better man on earth than the President of Notre Dame.

Randall, Father W(illia)m E.:
St. Louis, M(issouri)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Randall asks Brownson to send three volumes of the Life to Mr. P. F. Cook, a dear friend, an excellent Catholic, and an associate editor of the "Age of Steel" and the "St. Louis Lumberman". He has recommended the books to Father Bulger of Shenandoah, Iowa, and thinks Brownson will soon hear from him. What Orestes A. Brownson said about the tyranny of the majority has for Father Randall a fearful application by the politicians who segregated the disreputable people, especially the harlots, in his parish district. He asks Brownson for his help. He also is unable to agree with other junior clergymen on a theological question on supernatural grace and actions, and wants Brownson to solve it for him since he undoubtedly can do so. He wants to know if the attrition necessary for the reception of the sacrament of penance can be the product of the sinner who is not in the state of grace.

(Schmidt), Oscar:
Peoria, Ariz(ona)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
His stay in Arizona has done him much good. He passes his time loafing around the ranch, hunting, horse-back riding and sleeping. He is great at the latter, can tear off 12 hours anytime. He will never forget the happy days at Notre Dame. Edwards is to tell old J.M. (Studebaker) the fraud that Oscar will show up in South Bend one of these fine days and have an old time round of pleasure.

He sent a voluminous letter to Sister Claudine, St. Mary's, around New Year's and up to date he has received no reply. He asks Edwards to find out if she has received the letter. Father Morrissey's illness has been the subject of great anxiety. Thank God he is recovering.

Jacksonville, Ill(inois)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:

She was so glad to hear from Edwards; she feared he had been ill. She is indeed sorry for Father Morrissey. Edwards must miss all the old friends that are gone. Life is short and heaven is worth all we can suffer here. She hopes Edwards will come to see her.

Seton, Msgr. R(obert):
Catonia, Sicily, (Italy)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
His last Mass, although there was no special announcement of it, was crowded and there were many communions. That left him with some hope that with all his faults he still had a place in the hearts of his good parishioners. Cardinal Vava sent for him and they talked about America. The cardinal had been nuncio in Madrid where he knew Seton's friend, U. S. Minister (Bellamy) Storer. He wants Edwards to give him some clerical news of America. He heard that (Father) Crowley of Chicago had agreed to retire to a monastery and do penance. Edwards should call on William (Seton) as his life is very lonely. When Edwards has time he should open a correspondence with Mrs. Lelia Seton Wilder, Decatur, Alabama. She is the first who gave Seton the idea of going to live in Rome.

Lentz, Father F.( ) G.:
Macomb, Ill(inois)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Father Lentz, though he had bought the works of Orestes Brownson a few years ago, was unable to read them because of his missionary work among non-Catholics. He could not carry any books with him outside of those he always used. Now, having found an opportunity to read these works, he is overjoyed at Orestes Brownson's stand that many Catholics attempt to minimize the truth and to apologize for Catholic doctrines. He himself has been called "too severe, too radical, or too something" because of a similar stand. He is greatly pleased by his knowledge that such a great philosopher and thinker has taken a similar stand on the question.

O'Byrne received Henry's postal card of Feb. 8. Mrs. O'Byrne gave vol. 6 to some local expressman but he returned it in a few days stating he could not get it through. He will send it later, either by mail or by one of the regular express companies. He asks for the amount of freight charges on the set he sent to Father Mangell.

Hally, Father James A.:
Wyandotte, Mich(igan)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Hally's books arrived some time ago and all were in satisfactory condition. His health prevented prompt answering of the last note. He is now on his way to recovery. The check for twenty dollars which he is enclosing is to cover part of the bill and the balance will be sent as soon as possible. He asks Brownson to visit him if possible, and hopes to make arrangements for a meeting soon. He has started to read the Life and is very much interested.

Cherubim, (C.S.C.), Sister M.:
St. Mary's Academy,
Salt Lake, Utah
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
It must be a great relief that Father Morrissey is recovering. To her mind, side by side with the sainted Founders of Notre Dame, the name of Edwards must be ranked. But the noblest deeds of Christians are not to be rewarded here below. Under the gentle sway of Mother Lucretia, (C.S.C.) the Academy is flourishing and its influence for good is felt throughout the state.

Moyes, Father David:
West Springfield, Mass(achusetts)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
It would certainly be better to have the quotation translated by them. Moyes thinks a work should show the Catholic spirit of the poem which has been a fulcrum for attack against the Church. He has not time to look after the matter any more than he has.

Seton, (Msgr.) Rob(er)t:
Rome, (Italy)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He received Edwards' two letters. He wants his sister to let Edwards have for the collection the Grande Medaille awarded to Emily Seton at the Sacred Heart Convent nearly fifty years ago. Cardinal (Francisco) Satolli has shown him a surprisingly warm and affectionate side of his nature; he promises to take a great interest in Seton, having already helped him look for an apartment. He called Msgr. Kennedy, rector of the American College. Seton never told Edwards about the insults of the Rector, Father (William) McCloskey. Msgr. Kennedy impressed him unfavorably both as to looks are bearing. He wishes Edwards could send the clippings concerning him. His diaries are to go to Notre Dame.

She is going over her father's letters and all relating to the Church she is setting aside for Edwards as he is the only one who should have them. She fears that she will have to have a law suit with (D.H.) McBride(& Co). She finds that the History has been sold quite largely but he takes no notice of letters and never sends royalty. Edwards is the only Catholic friend she has that she can talk with about her father (John Gilmary Shea).

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Doyle has received the books but feels he is robbing Brownson of old friends. He hoped that Brownson would mark such passages that he did not approve in the "External Religion" and trusts that he was finished with it and with Maher's Psychology. He is sending by the same mail copies of the Tablet. The Jan. 25 issue was borrowed by Marquette College, hence its delay. He is disappointed at the "Notes" in this issue on the Sir Henry Howarth versus Father Smith controversy, feeling that the "Notes" favored Father Smith who was badly worsted. Doyle criticizes the Jesuits, as contemptous of the rules and rubrics of the Church, having pupils who behave badly at Mass. He considers the articles of Father Hugh O'Donnell in the February 1 number as much an indictment as Howarth's letters. In the face of all this, the Spanish Jesuit says they are hated because of the exemplary lives that they lead. Doyle has considered entering the controversy but has changed his mind. His last note to Henry may have seemed offensive but this could be explained because he had been ill for some time with an attack of bronchitis. He hesitated a long time about depriving Henry of the volumes but finally decided to accept the offer. He wishes Henry the best of health and hopes that he has vanquished his old enemy, rheumatism.

to (James F. Edwards:

He has been pushed to utter disregard of the amenities of life, so much sickness and nursing; and patients are scattered far and near. He received the water for analysis and wants Edwards to be guided by his judgment. It is plainly Bright's disease. Edwards must take good care of himself, regular hours and meals, plain diet. The secreting portion of the kidneys is affected. The grippe has caused this trouble.

Kaercher thanks Hudson for the papers for his boys in I(llinois) S(tate) P(rison). Out of 1,230 convicts there are 520 Catholics. Joliet is the dumping ground of Chicago's material and moral refuse. About 40% do not attend to their religious duties.
