Seton, Mgr. Robert:
(Rome, Italy)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, (Indiana)
He doesn't like to hear about himself; there is not a word of truth in what some people say about the Cardinalate. He does not wish to be a Cardinal in Curia. He would not like to lead the life of a Cardinal in Rome. He encloses a letter received from a lady friend this morning; he is disgusted with Roman society. The relation of the clergy there to the people is so different from what it is with Americans that he is discontented.

She is sending Hudson a portion of a letter from Ernesto (no enclosure). Last year a Filipino student, Domingo San Jose, was being taunted by his landlady (Mrs Jenks) and her family over his religion. San Jose came to (Mannix) and asked if he could stay there. Mannix sent San Jose back to Mrs. Jenks because there were only a few weeks left to live there and because a change of residence would require (William Alexander) Sutherland's approval; Mrs Jenks covered the boy with kindness so that no further complaints would be made about her. Mannix said she had offered to take in four Filipinos, but Sutherland gave them to a woman down the block.

He hopes Hudson will stand up for their rights.

Medlycott, Bishop A(dolph) E.:

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He wrote to a Benedictine in London to inquire if Hudson were still the editor of the Ave Maria. He wanted to inquire after the kind friends he made after his visit to the University of Notre Dame. On his arrival from the United States the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda told him in the fall of 1896 that the Holy See had decided to give native bishops to the Syro-Malabarese Christians and that other arrangements would be made for him, promising him a nomination to a diocese. It never went beyond that. For the last three or four years he has occupied his time writing a book on the Apostolate of St. Thomas the Apostle, but may have to make corrections because of the publication of an old Coptic Papyrus by Prof(essor) Carl Schmidt.
