Sister through Hudson thanks J. E. for the contribution to the convent bell. She thanks Hudson for the relic of the Cure of Ars. Will Hudson accept a bit of the stone dust upon which once rested the body of St. Francis? Their altars are still in black for the great shepherd gone to his reward. Does Hudson know Jean Nealis, a Franciscan Tertiary? Sister has received several letters from her.

Seton, William:
New York, (New York)
to (James F.) Edwards:
He was sorry to learn that Edwards still suffers from the grippe. His brother (Msgr.) Robert (Seton) was about to set out on a tour of Germany, but the death of Pope Leo XIII may have changed his plans. Seton is hoping for the election of Cardinal Rampolla. They are living in an age of change. Christendom is shattered. His brother Henry (Seton) and his family are spending the summer on Catalina Island, California.

Fitte, C.S.C., Father S(tanislaus) F.:
Akron, O(hio)
to James F. Edwards:
He is so happy that Edwards' "water cure" was so successful. He thanks him for his kind words in connection with Major (Henry) Brownson. Pope Leo XIII did a great act of just ice in publicly acknowledging the learning and services of Msgr. (Robert) Seton. Divine Providence sent them a pious Pope taken from the ranks and outside the Roman machinery. Though he maybe less intellectual than Leo, let us hope that it will prove popular. Father General congratulated Father Morrissey on his title of doctor. Things seem brighter in France. Father Goupil, Father Jamet and ten brothers are expected at Notre Dame.

Ganss, Father H(enry) G.:
Atlantic City, N(ew) J(ersey)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Ganss does not know if Hudson is heartily in sympathy with the (American) Federation (of) Catholic (Societies); all the same it is here and cannot for the present be ignored. Ganss speaks as one heartily in favor of it. The movement is not as yet an organized one. The absence of the Italians was hardly counterbalanced by the presence of the Sioux chief. The delegate from Porto Rico was insufficient to cover the void left by the Bohemian and Pole. Even with the German and Irishman, the organization lacks unity. The movement as creating a Catholic sentiment is an unqualified success. The apathy and repugnance of the bishops to look on the movement with favor is a surprise to Ganss. True Archbishop (Patrick John) Ryan has been outspoken in his approval of the movement, but that is about all the encouragement. It is hard to explain unless it be the indifference they find with some of their Western bishops. The lay delegates are men of earnestness. The resolutions are clear enunciations of Catholic sentiment, though some of them, notably the school question, may be untimely.

Fitte, C.S.C., Father S(tanislaus) F.:
Akron, Ohio
to (James F.) Edwards:
Edwards will be glad to learn that Prof. (Jobson) Paradis has at last received a great many orders. It goes without saying that Fitte enjoys himself hugely in Father (John B.) Brown's company. Bishop Horstmann will pontificate at Brown's 40th anniversary of his ordination. Owing to a mistake of the postmaster at Akron Fitte missed seeing a first cousin who arrived in New York in July. She went on to Halifax where her husband has just been appointed governor of the French islands of St. Peter and Miquelon.

Ganss, Father H(enry) G.:
Carlisle, P(ennsylvani)a
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Ganss thanks Hudson for Father (Ethelred L.) Taunton's letter. He does not think they show enough charity to their Protestant friends. Among the Western bishops Ganss does not know of one who has as yet established a Preservation Society or espoused the cause of the Catholic Indian missions. The Quakers fought the Catholic Indian battle. Bishop (Henry B.) Whipple's work was abortive, but like Helen Jackson he stirred up the national conscience.

While visiting in Toledo, Father Coppens found that they had no copy of Brownson's works and life. They are willing however, to buy them for their professors and students. He asks Henry at what price the twenty-three volumes can be bought and if on favorable terms they will consent. He is very desirous of putting the works in the hands of all Catholic students. His new address will be Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska, or he may write to the Rector of St. John's College, Toledo, Ohio, directly.

(White), S.A., Sister Lurana M(ary) Francis:
Garrison, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Sister is disappointed by a paragraph in the Aug. 8th Ave Maria. The heaviest cross they, the Children (Society) of the Atonement, have to bear is the one laid on their shoulders by the Roman clergy when they accuse High Church Anglicans of sophistry. If Hudson could know with what fervor and depth they live, he would stop accusations. Sister has come to believe that in judging it is always necessary to beg God to give us the power to stand in our neighbor's attitude of mind and inherited environment and try to listen to the voice which he hears and dare not disobey. They refuse to touch the heresy of the last 370 years. Sister longs that Hudson get a grasp of their position.

He did not sooner acknowledge receipt of the letter of August 10 as he and Father (Joseph) Oberle were undecided as to when they could leave. If nothing very unexpected occurs they will be in Detroit Thursday morning.

to James F. Edwards:
As usual Edwards is in good company and has no need to go very far to build up his nest, being in the rich lumber estate of the Nester family. Fitte found many improvements, electricity in the church at Notre Dame University, a fine mosaic floor in the entrance hall and prospects for better and more varied meals. Great preparations for 350 Chicago priests coming for their retreat. Father Lemarie is dead in France. Mother Pauline had another tumor cut out. The prospects are splendid for next year, in spite of the increase in tuition.

Sometime Father Rossiter would like to ask Brownson to explain some difficulties in his father's works which he could never see through no matter how many times he read them.

Father (Charles) Coppens kindly inquired at what rate Henry could furnish the life and works of Orestes A. Brownson. Father Heiermann orders the works and the life to be forwarded at once. He will try to commemorate in some befitting way the anniversary of the birth of this great writer and thinker on September 14. He just wrote to Father Coppens that the college meets on the 13th and that this meeting will be a good opportunity to bring out the merits of this great man before the students and the public. He does not have the honor of knowing Brownson, but as a Catholic and Jesuit, offers his sincerest congratulations on the anniversary of his distinguished father's birth. He takes the liberty of forwarding Henry their annual catalogue.

He left Rome after Pope Leo's death. He loves travel so much that he determined to be off at once. He travels slowly and wants to see any place pretty well when he stops there. He travels to learn and keeps away from fashionable resorts. When he stopped at one in Lucerne, he was made much of by the fashionable people. He tells how delighted the people were to see him. He is much more proud than vain. He lived his best years among people who did not properly appreciate him.
