O'Brien, Father Frank A.:
Kalamazoo, Michigan
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
He was surprised to receive Edwards' letter. His remembrance of the instructions given Father (Joseph) Joos were mandatory, telling him all manuscripts should be sent to Notre Dame; it would be hard to get at "the instructions" as there was a diocesan affair mixed up with it. The Bishop, (John S. Foley) for some reason paid the mortgage on the Marshall church, and then attempted to collect it from Father (Peter A.) Baart. Baart ordered his Administrator to oppose the case if the Bishop pursued it. He believes Baart had no such document, regarding the Bishop of Detroit. If Edwards could tell him who proferred the offer, he could find out for Edwards. He will give details in regard to other things soon.

to (James F.) Edwards:

He found Edwards' letter and is glad that Edwards is getting well. There is a great deal that he would like to communicate to Edwards, but not by letter He has only news from Edwards about the American ecclesiastics. He heard things about two Bishops that pained but did no surprise. He is glad to get back to Rome. He met Augustine F. Dwyer, the Catholic cleric who has become a protestant, which inexpressively distressed him. A good many converts are often made after some clerical scandal, as if Our Lord makes compensations. If Edwards cares to hear, he will tell him of his travels after he left Prague. He details his experiences. He has applied for an audience with the Pope; he expects nothing, but an intention a day would be sufficient. Bishop (Thomas F.) Kennedy and some old parishioners remember him but he is still short. He received the diaries. He asks if there is any change of Edwards coming to Rome soon again.

Smith, Father John Talbot:
Dobb's Ferry, N(ew) Y(ork)
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
In years Smith has not enjoyed a whole month as October. New York was always just endurable to Smith, but now it has become hateful. A lady from Savannah told Smith the story of the rabbit who took possession of the backyard after Joel Chandler Harris' death. Smith turned out last week for the Christian Brothers a list of 500 books for boys of 14 to 18. The other job is a terror. Will he be ready to print by 1909? He fears not. He is pegging away industriously. He does not think Miss Sadlier has ever done better work than in "Phileas Fox." Father John Kavanagh is pounding away at his gigantic task. When Smith gets disgusted with details he thinks of him and Monsignor Lavelle. Smith sends his remembrances to all the brethren at Notre Dame with whom he hopes to linger in the coming month of May.

Raupert, J(ohn) G(odfrey):
Buffalo, (New York)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson's note accompanying the letter from Overbrook was a great consolation. Archbishop (John Patrick) Ryan is an aged and old-fashioned man. St. Charles' is an important center and his visit there would facilitate his mission. Raupert has enclosed Professor Lepicier's letter to enable the Rector to understand what the feeling at Rome is on this subject. Raupert knows he has an opponent in Dr. Walsh. Raupert would not worry about "Modern Spiritism" except that the number of copies available is limited. His friends, the priests, thought that there was something behind that Rochester letter. It is so uncommonly courteous. Raupert will visit the (Bellamy) Storers if he goes to Boston.

Raupert is delighted to hear that "Father Tim" is finding so many appreciators. The statement Hudson sent him is evidence that the article is doing useful work. Enclosed are a few cuttings from England and also the letter from Tyburn Convent. It is Hudson's letter. Raupert intends to leave Buffalo for New York tomorrow. On Monday he will be at St. John's College, Brooklyn. It is possible that he may go to Washington after that. He has not heard from the Archbishop of Boston. He is wondering what the reply from Philadelphia will be. He has fully explained what is felt by some about the matter. It is clear that the money question will hinder his work.

In the Ave Maria of Nov. 7th, Hudson quoted Professor Poor to the effect that instead of the moon being an inhabitable world, the moon is an arid waste. And then on page 598 Hudson quotes somebody to the effect that a supposed new discovery leads to the belief that radio activity justifies the conclusion that the earth will not become a dead world, but will be destroyed by fire due to radio activity. Somebody should guess again.

Edwards' most welcome letter of the 2nd gratefully acknowledged. Edwards gives good news about the many valuable additions to the collection of Bishop's Memorial a Hall. Edwards' personality, winning ways and enthusiasm must open peoples' hands and hearts to him. A few things that Edwards will like to have will be surrendered after his death by his nephew Thomas Seton Jevons. He enumerates what he has. He received the bulletin of the University. The seal would be more elegant if it read "Dominae Nostrae" instead of "Nostrae Dominae". He has not seen Miss Edes since her servants took her to the place in the mountains beyond Turin. There is a suspicion that she is childish. He gives adresses of people that might know more about her. He asks Edwards what he had heard from the American artist that painted Seton's picture, (J. Francis Smith). Edwards doesn't tell him anything about Father (John A.) Zahm (C.S.C.) and leaves him to conjecture the worst. They had a great time yesterday in St. Peter's for the Pope's Jubilee Mass. He details the whole affair, with names of dignitaries with whom he sat. He returned to Rome from Perugia on October 31. If he had any respect for the Cardinal's strength of character he would have waited all through the hot month on the chance that he would have spoken to the Pope about Seton. A strong man like Archbishop (John) Hughes would have done it for him. He speaks of his expenses. Edwards should simply address him Dear Archbishop; he is proud of his name and family but otherwise the simplest sort of man who doesn't care a fig for excellencies etc. Everyone knows that he is the most courtly, well-dressed, intelligent and entertaining Prelate in the Eternal City. He explains further. He converses in French, English, or Italian.

Vaughan is back in Rome and at his old occupations. He spent a few days with Father (Robert Hugh) Benson near Buntingford before he left England. Vaughan spent a weekend in Paris, and had several interviews with the Countess de Courson, with whom he sued to play as a child. It was kind of Hudson to put DUWA-DIGON on the title page and cover. Benziger was given 15 copies of "How I Came to do It" to send out for review. The last issue of the Cath(olic) Times speaks very flatteringly of the book. Vaughan hopes Hudson is keeping well.
