(Rhodius), George:
(Indianapolis, Indiana)
to J(ames) F. (Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
He is greatly tempted to return to his former way of living. No young man has had better opportunities in Indianapolis than he and now his fondest hopes are dashed by some unknown influence with Mother. She lacks the confidence—then why deny himself of the pleasures he is giving up in order to please others.

The girl in question is a good sensible girl, not one of these society girls with frills, but one who will make a good wife. He has now the largest orchard for one single man in the state. The fishing is fine; he has two large ponds on the place. He will send some pictures of his place.

Hebirg, Edward C.:
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
He thanks Edwards for his kind treatment while he was visiting Notre Dame. He is afraid the pictures are not printed very well as he made a mistake in developing them. He supposes Edwards still makes the rounds in Corby Hall and has his little lunches. The boys were very glad to see "Jimmy" come to their rooms.
P.S. He gave a Mr. Wright a letter of introduction to Edwards.

to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Thomas tells how her daughter's scalp condition was cured after she prayed before the statue of Father (Demetrius Augustine) Gallitzin. Their hearts have been made sore by a recent writing on Gallitzin. None of his people could have used the words "arbitrary" and "ambition" in connection with his name. Mrs. Thomas describes his funeral.

Halle's niece Cecile Nouffland(?) married President Grant's grandson, Algernon Sartoris, of whose conversion Hudson has doubtless read.

(Huffer), Estelle:
(Paris, France)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
They have been passing through two months of the greatest anxiety. Mary was operated on for appendicitis. All passed off very well. She had no idea of what a fund of moral courage the dear child possessed. Herman came from Bremen and remained ten days. She has been reading the articles in "Correspondent", published by the Abbe (Felix) Klein, giving an account of his visit to Canada and America; his description of Notre Dame is excellent. Everything looks bad for the Church. The poor Passionist Fathers have been sent away from their chapel. They fear the government will confiscate the property even though all taxes have been paid.

Christitch, Elisabeth O'B(rien):
Belgrade, (Serbia)
to Father D(aniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Christitch received Hudson's remittance of $31. It is particularly welcome now when she is straining to contribute to her daughter's support. She leaves there in fifteen days for the London examination. Although her father only suspects their intentions he is always making covert allusions to renegades. Christitch just had the sorrow to lose her mother in Ireland. Annie Christitch sometimes steals into the Church for early mass, but her son never enters. The bitterness of thinking that only at her death will her son be again free to enter the Church! Christitch's secret hope is that her husband will relent and let her daughter (Annie) return to her. Christitch has been busy lately owing to the Russian disasters and their consequences in the Balkans, for Japanese agents are busy in Macedonia. Queen Nathalia is attacked as the last remnant of the Obrenovitch dynasty and as the betrayer of the Servian national faith. Christitch encloses the verses she wrote on hearing of her mother's death.

Dublin, (Ireland)
to Lady Monteagle:

Newton, Father George:
(London, England)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
This is but a thinly populated parish within twenty minutes car ride of the center of London. The peculiar work there is what they call St. Augustine's House. It was found that those who left the seminary were forced to start getting a livelihood at a great disadvantage. The Archbishop of Westminster (Francis) Bourne, seeing their difficulty built a separate house in their parish adjoining the sanctuary end of the church. The home is for the reception of young men in business. The work of the classes is to prepare the young man in Latin and logic for entrance into the seminary. They get a fair notion of a parish priest's duties. The present Bishop (Peter Emmanuel) Amigo has chosen Newton as his successor as director of the seminary. It is very hard and Newton is new at this sort of thing. They sent their first batch to the seminary last year. He was sorry to learn that Hudson was an invalid(!)

He will do his level best to see Edwards at Commencement and also to see the annual Regatta. The priest in Chester wants some information about the C. E. course at Notre Dame. "Barrakcs" come off next week, a pure military week. He is very proud of having been a student at Notre Dame.

to (James F.) Edwards:

Yes, he would like to see the pamphlet on Religious Orders in the United States. When he has gone to his Etternal Rest, it will be sent back to Notre Dame with lots of other things. The brief making him Prothonotary Apostolic, the first American ever raised to the Roman Prelature, was given by him to the New York Historical Society of which he is a life member. Edwards must ask to see it.

It mortifies her to think that Edwards must conclude that she is never at home. It is lovely of Edwards to come to see her father. He knows he is nearing the better country and is most gentle and amiable. At night he always expresses his thanks to God.
