Bertrand, Paul:
Ensenada, Mexico
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
Notre Dame, Indiana
Bertrand sends $2 for a subscription to the Ave Maria for the poor priest who has charge of the church there. The priest told him how hard a time he has there; as an Italian missionary he must be careful not to offend the authorities by his preaching. He is his own servant, gardener and sacristan. The new subscriber is Father Domingo Scarpetta.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Brownson's letter of May 29 was received and Doyle is enclosing a check for one dollar in payment for Michael's Dollinger. He is sending the last number of the Tablet and would be pleased to receive a criticism of "Is Christianity the Absolute Religion". There is also an article on (the University of) Notre Dame by Lattimore. Doyle wonders what kind of coterie supports Thorne who is in danger of making Archbishop (John) Ireland liked "for the enemies he has made". He asks Brownson if he has read "A Manual of Catholic Theology" by Wilhelm and Scannell founded on Schieben's "Dogmatik" and gives two quotations from the work, one on the Hypostatic Union, the other on the adoration of the sufferings of Christ.

He'll give no excuses for not writing. He hopes Edwards will come to LaCrosse and let him repay Edwards for his kindnesses. He is going home Friday. If Edwards hasn't said anything to Father (Andrew) Morrissey, (C.S.C.), never mind, it may not be best for him.

As yet she has not made up her parcel of Seton mementoes but she encloses her brother's (Monsignor Robert Seton) first sermon in America, delivered in the summer of 1867 at St. Raymond's Church, Westchester. Edwards will appreciate it considering how eloquent Seton has become since. (Note: the sermon is attached)

Howley, R(ichard):
Boston, (Massachusetts)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Howley had an interesting interview with President (Charles W.) Elliott (Eliot) of Harvard yesterday. He was willing to employ him as lecturer in the Italian language and literature the coming season, provided he proved his ability by that time. He asks Hudson to send a testimonial in his own and Notre Dame's name. Eliot spoke of Howley's occasionally addressing the students on religion. There is more than one good Catholic layman already professing at Harvard, and the President said that he desires that element to broaden his staff's compass. Howley asks Hudson to see his article on Philippine schools in the June "Donahoe's".

(Carroll, Francis E.) Frank:

to (James) F. Edwards:

He analyzed the water and there is a good improvement. It is best to stop taking drugs awhile. He was in hopes of attending the commencement to see some of the "Old Guard" before it is too late. For the sake of old memories he would like to see a catalogue of 1876-79. Edwards is the only one of professors that stands out preeminent and that is alive today.

to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):

Harland thanks Hudson for his letter and review of "Lady Paramount". What Hudson says about the effect of the Cardinal breaking down prejudice is gratifying. Protestant hostility is based on prejudice and complacent ignorance.

Stoddard is sick over the loss of the bungalow and the last week at the Varsity was agonizing. He lunched with Mrs. Bellamy Storer who sailed for Spain today. Does Hudson know the sketch of Stoddard in the Bookman was done by Jo(s)e(ph) Strong, son-in-law of R(obert) L(ouis) S(tevenson).

Gahan, Jr., Dan(iel):
Elgin, Ill(inois)
to James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
Last fall their parish celebrated its Golden Jubilee and the pastor Father John J. McCann appointed a committee to gather material for a history of the parish. In the early 20's, Father Stephen T. Badin came to northern Illinois and visited the soldiers at Fort Dearborn, (Chicago, Illinois) and it is a matter of record that he said Mass at the home of Simon Brady at Kelloggs Grove, near the present city of Freeport, Illinois in October, 1827. Badin and Father Samuel Mazzuchelli O.P. are mentioned in the histories for the work they did among the settlers and Indiana in Northern Illinois. Father John Gueguen was one of the priests from the diocese of Vincennes who responded to the call of Father (Irenaens) St. Cyr. Chicago's first pastor, Under Gueguen's guidance the early Catholics of what was later Elgin built the first Catholic Church in Kane, County about 1843. The following year Gueguen was recalled to Vincennes. It is said that he died and was buried at Notre Dame. John L. Healey referred Gahan to Edwards for information in regard to the work done by Badin and Gueguen in this viccinity.

Seton, Monsignor Robert:
Rome, Italy
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The invitation to commencement Edwards sent is beautifully designed. He tells a story of shockingly demoralizing Jesuit discipline. He was delighted to see the mention of Father (William A.) Olmsted, C.S.C at the great Memorial Day celebration in New York. Now that (Bishop Otto) Zardetti is dead and his apartment vacant in the Procura of the C.S.C., he has taken it. Seton is of a sociable disposition, but has found few opportunities — few sympathetic persons during his unhappy years in the Newark Diocese. He looks back with horror at what he was made to suffer during 35 years. Edwards' annual visits were the only recreations he took for a number of seasons. Edwards should remember his new address.

Wynne thanks Hudson for the notice of his article "Poisoning the Wells". He encloses a circular in reply to one which Appleton issued in defense of their work. Cardinal (James Gibbons) has never seen this Cyclopaedia nor written anything about it; he merely expressed satisfaction to the editors on receiving the announcement that Archbishop (John Joseph) Keane had been selected as associate Catholic editor.

Lobo, Father R. M.:
Fajir, India
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson's letter and the Ave Marias arrived. The Lutherans, owing to extensive landed properties there, have succeeded in perverting some of their Catholic tenants. The Lutheran landlords have resolved to introduce their proselytes in place of their former Catholic tenants. Lobo has opened a school in the verandah of the Church. Could the readers of the Ave Maria lend a helping hand? A wily heathen landlord has succeeded in securing some acres of ground once in the enjoyment of the Church.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:
Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Doyle agrees that Brownson's estimate of Thorne is correct and that the article about (University of) Notre Dame was unduly prejudiced and untruthful. He asks if the remarks made about despotic governments were suggested by the question of discipline at the University and if so, how would constitutional government be applied to colleges. Latin quotations from the Manual of Catholic Theology and Tanquerey on the question of the hypostatical union and the love of Christ are given by Doyle. He mislaid the Tablet of May 10 but has found it and has already forwarded it. He hopes to call on Brownson next week when he visits Detroit. He wonders what kind of education (Theodore) Roosevelt has had since he does not know if there is such a thing as constitutional government. P.S. Doyle is not in favor of having so many prefects and monitors as in some schools but may be wrong in his conclusion.

Seton, Msgr. Robert:
(Rome, Italy)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Cardinal (Francis) Satolli took him to an entertainment in some orphan asylum. The last of the month he expects to move into (Archbishop Otto) Zardetti's apartment. It is costing him nearly $400 to break his lease. He wrote plainly to Bishop (John J.) O'Connor about his pension. A monsignor of his rank and record ought to be named Rector Emeritus and paid full salary for life. He sent the summation of Archbp. (Michael Augustine) Corrign's character, that his brother sent to him, to Satolli. He seemed to relish the word "doggedness." Fortunately (Ella B.) Eads (Edes) lost influence with Cardinal (Giovanni) Simeon's death. Michael Augustine (Corrigan) might have been made a cardinal. He has come to know Msgr. O'Connell better than ever; he knows lots of great people. Edwards won't fail, he is sure, to pay the $100 which was pledged to him six years in length. In case anything happens to Edwards it would be good to have a paper of some kind that he could show for it.

to (James F.) Edwards:

He was at the function of Cardinal Martinelli in which he took part in an official capacity. He encloses a card of invitation with memorandum on the back. In America Martinelli liked Seton because he never saw his name in the papers. Cardinal (Francis) Satolli paid him a visit on June 7, on his feast day. Citing his qualificiations, he says he has been neglected in his own country. Next week he moves to the Procura of the C.S.C. Bishop (Chas. E.) McDonnell and Fathers York, Fay and Smith he knows will look after him. He will have a priest chamber in his new apartment. If they do not pay his pension, it might bring him back to Jersey City. (P.S. Assisting the Cardinal officially were: Bishop Montes de Oca, Msgr. (Thomas F.) Kennedy and Seton. The cardinal sent his carriages and afterwards they had wine in his apartment.

Seton, Msgr. Robert:
Rome, Italy
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
About (Archbishop Otto) Zardetti: he doesn't think that he can get anything of his for Edwards. Refering to a clipping in the New York Sun, he considers it harsh and unjust to call a man of William Seton's religious sentiments" a more dangerous enemy of religion." He is pretty certain the writer is Bishop (James A.) McFaul (of Trenton) because he is the only one his brother is acquainted with, and the writer says that the person he speaks of afforded him many a pleasant hour. The position of Msgr. Denis O'Connell seems somewhat anamalous in Rome, but he is charmed by his personality. Seton believes that (Bishop Michael Augustine) Corrigan got O'Connell out of the Rectorship on an issue of the school question in America. O'Connell was disappointed at the results of talks with Archbishop (Francis) Janssens on the question. O'Connell believes that this bitter sense of labor wasted hastened Janssens' death.

Fitte, C. S. C., Father Stanislaus F.:
South Bend, (Indiana)
to James F. Edwards:
Instead of attending the retreat regularly he trys to assist and nurse Father Peter Lauth who has the chills and a fever. He hopes that in spite of Lauth's 69 years, he will recover. Fitte read an item in the Chicago Herald about Msgr. (Robert Seton to the effect that he is to return to the United States having accepted the chair of archaeology in the Catholic University, but Fitte does not believe it, as Seton is determined to stay in Rome where he lives with Father (Frederick) Linneborne, C.S.C. at the Procure of the Holy Cross. Edwards must feel bad when he hears of the pleasant visit he missed, that of his old friend, man who never tells lies, but very seldom tells the truth and who pays compliments to everybody to their faces, but tears them to pieces behind their backs, the glorious Maurice Francis E(gan). Brother Simon, C.S.C. died last Friday. Roche and O'Connor do not return next year. Dr. (Austin) O'Malley is not improving; they whisper that his marriage is a failure. Col. (William) Hoynes is to lecture before the Protestant Presbyterian school at Winona, Indiana. It is the first time a Catholic has been invited.
