Hallinan, Father Michael Mary
Hallinan was born near Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, September 29, 1827 of Catholic parents. As a youth, he desired to become a priest; an education for the priesthood not being obtainable in Ireland, he journeyed to the Little Seminary of St. Sulpice, Paris. Here he acquired a knowledge of French, and his class in the study of the humanities. Completing philosophy, he began the study of theology at the Grand Seminary of St. Sulpice, Paris. While still a student he was introduced to Archbishop (John Baptist) Purcell then on his way to Rome to receive the Pallium. Purcell induced Hallinan to come to Cincinnati, once he had completed studies for a Doctorate of theology. Hallinan completed theological studies in 1851, was ordained and after a brief visit to Ireland, came to Cincinnati where he became rector of the new Seminary. In 1854, he severed connections with the Seminary, went to Chillicothe, where with Father (Michael) Ford, they established St. Peter's College. Hallinan then transferred to Dayton, but due to bad health removed to the East, laboring in the dioceses of Baltimore and Philadelphia. In 1868, at the invitation of Bishop (John) Luers, he joined the diocese of Fort Wayne and for eleven years was stationed at Lafayette, then transferred to Wabash, where he remained until 1882. At the request of Bishop (Edward) Fitzgerald, he joined the diocese of Little Rock and was placed in charge of St. Andrew's Cathedral as pastor. In 1884, he was appointed Vicar-General of the diocese of Little Rock, holding this position until he died on December 12, 1887.

Hammerer, Augustus New York, New York
to Orestes A. Brownson (Elizabeth, New Jersey)
Augustus Hammerer who formerly has been a teacher in Germany and, since he came to America, 16 years ago as a minister of the Lutheran Church, at another time of the Reformed Church, has for the last few years been engaged partly as a teacher of the German and Latin language and partly as house and land agent. Even as a young student at the gymnasium Mr. Hammerer had been an admirer of the Catholic Church and through his influence both his sister (Mrs. von Geismar) and also his brother were converted to the Catholic faith though he himself did not yet follow their example. Now he has removed all prejudices and obstacles and his desire to join the Catholic Church becomes greater from day to day. But as such a step would create a tremendous sensation among the Protestants in his environment, he asks the addressed doctor (Orestes A. Brownson), if it should not be advisable if he would join the Catholic Church in New York and thereafter seek to earn his livelihood there. After an oral conversation the Doctor could judge for himself in what field he could serve the Catholic Church best. His greatest desire however is to be allowed to work for (Brownson) in order to give him proofs of his affection for him.
P.S. In the postscript Hammerer recommends warmly the petition of a Miss Dillon who as it seems has enclosed a letter to (Brownson).

Hart, A.J.X. (______)
to O(restes) A. Brownson (Elizabeth, New Jersey)
Hart included a pamphlet with this letter which set forth a philosophical and moral theory on the origin of our ideas of right and wrong which is the basis of all social polity and religion. A few competent judges have admired this work, and Hart feels, that Brownson, if he refuses to notice it he may be unjust to himself and to the Catholic public. The contemporary people did not need explanations of what Catholics believe as reasons how and why they believe. Brownson has vindicated Realism and denounced Traditionalism, now he should prove the objective existence of the moral virtues as existing attributes of the human spirit. Would not this give a more palpable foundation to the Catholic doctrine of the immateriality of the soul? Hart wants Brownson to discuss this to spread the truth. P.S.--Mr. B.H. Greene is requested to forward both this letter and the pamphlet to Brownson.

H(ayes?) in a letter quite apparently written for publication, praises the St. Patrick's Sanctuary Society, a society of altar boys founded March 19, (______), the present year, and directed by Brother Leo. This group proves that a boy's organization can be a very fine thing, for, although none of the boys belonging to the society had ever served at Mass before, they now do so well that "The Western Watchman" speaks of them in terms of high praise. H(ayes) hopes their example may prove an encouragement to the youth of New York.

Healy, John Raywick, K(entuck)y
to (James Alphonsus McMaster) (New York, New York)
The writer asks McMaster to print a notice of the death of J.S. Maguire, a spectacle pedlar, who was found dead near Raywick. He had some glasses and some personal goods in his possession when he was found dead as well as a diary which traces his progress from Texas to Kentucky, and mentions a father of his who presumably is still alive. Besides $100 that he had on his person, the authorities have found a portion of his property depositied in the Louisville banks. Several copies of the Freeman's Journal were also found on his body. If McMaster will print a notice of Maguire's death, and if any relatives are discovered, they may have all the information and assistance they desire by writing Healy. If any are found, Healy will see to it that McMaster's expenses are paid.

Heuser was happy when he received Hudson's letter enclosing the notice which the "Ave Maria" is bringing of "The House of Martha." It expressed what Heuser had been longing to have said of the book. To live in the company of those early saints makes holiness somewhat easier than many aspirants to heaven imagine. Today is New Year's Day and Heuser has no good feast card to send. But he does have a paint box and brushes which he uses to show his good will. (Heuser paints a rose on the letter.) It is an old practice begun as a boy.

Hewit would have been to see Brownson before but he has been much occupied and has been ill, also. He goes out only when compelled and then in a carriage. Hewit heard Dr. Marshall's lecture. Marshall's style is highly English and his sincerety indisputable, but he could do no more with the Irish Catholics than he could with the east wind. He asked forgiveness of the English as a pledge of the apostolic feeling of the Irish. This sentiment was applauded and condemned in the same instant. The facts of the case of Hewit's aunt's will are worse than he knew when he last saw Brownson. Father H(ewit?) declined, on account of his obligations to religion to make any effort to break it, and Hewit cannot do it alone. He will be over to see Brownson soon.

Higgins, W.O. Little Rock, Ark(ansas)
to (James Alphonsus McMaster) (New York, New York)
As Higgins was leaving for a distant part of the State one day two weeks ago, a specimen copy of the Freeman's Journal came into his hands, and he asked Father Reilly to subscribe to it for him for a year. On his return this morning he found McMaster's request for a list of the persons to whom specimen copies are being sent. He gives a list of ten names, explaining that some of these persons are Catholics who are much in need of the instruction afforeded by the paper, but that most of them are of no particular creed, and not hostile to the Church except in so far as the Church is opposed by Freemasonry. That Society is wide-spread in the South, and much in the way of the Catholics; Higgins himself knows many Southern men who would become Catholics were it not for the fact that they are Freemasons. He thinks perhaps any man who is deterred from joining the Church by his affiliation with the brotherhood is not fit to be a Catholic, but he reminds McMaster that Saint Paul himself humored secret societies. Besides, whatever atrocities the Freemasons may be guilty of elsewhere, they are very harmless in Arkansas.

Since he received Brownson's note, he has been thinking of a title for the book -- one that is simple, appropriate, and fresh; he suggests a few. Orestes A. Brownson's teaching on salvation outside the Church has always seemed extreme to Hudson. He cannot bring himself to believe for a moment that the thousands like himself and Faber who have become converts in their times would have been lost had they died before entering the Church. There must be millions of nonCatholic Christians in the same disposition. It must have been a mistake of Dr. (______) Quigley's printers, otherwise Hudson would have little faith in the man's sincerity. It was a great relief to know that Dr. (______) Lundy was attended by Father (Ernest) Van Dyke. Lundy was not a bad fellow and always compassionate to the poor.

Either the Benedictines have forgotten how to educate or they have not enough of the worldly spirit in their schools to have them patronized by the grandees. The Sisters of the Order of St. Benedict are still more numerous than the monks and do a great work especially among the Indians. Bishop Martin Marty of Sioux Falls, S9outh) D(akota) would be the only one who could give Brownson an account of this work.

Brownson was right, the editorial was too caustic; but (Catholics) ought to have a good review of their own. When Henry has time, he should let Hudson have another lot of thoughts from (Orestes A. Brownson's) writings. Henry must look like Matthew Arnold or Emerson with his beard off -- or perhaps Dollinger. He sends greetings to everyone.

to (Henry F.) Brownson (Detroit, Michigan)
He likes the extracts and is glad to have them. It had occurred to Hudson that an occasional nugget on important, timely topics might remind people of the mine. A set of the works of (Orestes A. Brownson) ought to be the corner-stone of every Catholic library founded in the United States. Brownson should send data for an advertisement and Hudson will make this remark in calling attention to the ad. (Catholics) have any number of worthless papers but no review to influence thought. Hudson supposes if a review were started it would have some aggressively Catholic title and be dripping with approbations in the first issue. Our (Catholic) predecessors were wiser than we and they had more zeal with less parade.

to (Henry F.) Brownson (Detroit, Michigan)
Hudson's idea was to have a small advertisement that could be run occasionally as space permitted; as Brownson says the best literature is sure to be forgotten unless people are constantly reminded of it. The ad is to be electrotyped. He wishes he could answer Brownson's letter at length; what Brownson says about Catholic papers and preachers is true but no less sad. Hudson hopes the Ave Maria will suspend publication when it forgets its mission. There is one consolation for Hudson, every year renders it more difficult for any one to make a radical change; of course, there will always be room for improvement.

The advertisement will be inserted this week, he mentioned it in another item. Brownson's corrections were made before electrotyping. Hudson thinks Brownson would do well to keep the price up; he wishes he could secure orders for all the sets Brownson has. Hudson was interested in what Brownson had to say about proper names in the Bible. The translation of St. Paul's definition of the Holy Trinity is a bad one; Hudson shares Brownson's liking for the Rheims version; they had a copy at Notre Dame; it is a rare book now. Hudson must be off to hear confessions at St. Mary's.

Since there were no doubtful words, he thought it unnecessary to send proofs. He asks for an article of the same length on Vasco da Gama before October. Admiral Law is a convert. His brother was a famous Jesuit missionary who died in the Zambigi mission.

He shall be happy to publish Brownson's article some time next month. Thousands of copies of the prayer have been printed; Brownson's communication has formed Hudson's zeal anew. There is no vacation for Hudson; it is years since he left the premises. His work increases, but his powers do not, and the days have ever the same number of hours. It would be a great pleasure to visit Detroit and most of all the Brownsons again.

It pleased Hudson to hear that the second volume of the Life was ready for the printers; he will publish the information. Brownson should let him know if there is anything suitable for the Ave Maria in either of the two volumes. He hopes it will be a long time before Brownson is incapacitated from writing. How many copies of the pamphlet shall he send? Brownson may have as many as he has use for.

It might be well to send a circular to Cassidy; he told Hudson that he is trying to get a set of Brownson in the public library. Hudson's object is to get Catholic people to exert themselves to at least get a set in large libraries; he does not care a thing about the commission. Catholics are poor and uneducated for the most part, but there is no excuse for the great number of wooden priests. He thanks Brownson for the letter. Hudson put a reference in the Ave Maria to the "Middle Life"; he found those pages extremely interesting.

Hudson, C.S.C., Father Daniel D. Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
to (Henry F.) Brownson (Detroit, Michigan)
Hudson seems to deserve no thanks, he has done so little in comparison to what he wishes he could do. He regrets others are not doing all they can. It has been a pleasure to help Brownson all these years, but Hudson felt it a duty. A future generation of American Catholics, less snobbish and less clannish, more enlightened and more zealous, will thoroughly appreciate (Orestes A. Brownson's) writings. This is too much to expect of the present generation. Hudson is pleased Brownson is again working on the life, he is the only one who could do it without blundering. A biography of some sort would be demanded in time. It was part of the trust reposed in Henry to tell the story of his father's career in full. It will be a portion of the history of the Church and of the times in America. Brownson's notion of a biography is the only correct one, and his plan seems excellent to Hudson. The letters will not only increase the interest of the book but add to its value. Brownson should not shorten the account before Orestes Brownson became a Catholic; Hudson found as many interested in the first volume of Cardinal Manning's life as in the second. Dr. Brownson's life was dual and he was great in both divisions: there are many points of resemblance with Cardinal Manning's life. Most people do not know what Brownson's rank was among the men of his time. To many Brownson was only another (James A.) McMaster. It was only when Brownson had finished his work that many realized what he had been doing. Men like Bishop (John B.) Fitzpatrick could appreciate Orestes Brownson. Hudson is thinking of a visit to Detroit, but it is hard for him to be about.

He wishes the Brownsons a joyous Christmas; he shall remember them in his 3 Masses. Hudson was gratified to have Brownson's approval for the editorial referring to Bishop (Thomas J.) Conaty. There are many indications of another Reformation; it will begin in the United States. (Catholics) are drifting away from the essential basis of Christianity; this is a sad subject to dwell upon, so many sad things come to Hudson's knowledge.

Hughes, Father H(enry) G. (England)
to Father (Daniel D.) Hudson, (C.S.C.) (Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hughes has had a move. The Bishop appointed him there on the death of the late Rector of this Mission, who was also the Provost of the Chapter. He was over 80 when he died. He became a Catholic as an undergraduate at St. John's College, Cambridge. He left some fine old furniture and books. This is a Cathedral city of 7,000 inhabitants with a Protestant Bishop and dignitaries. It owes its existence to St. Etheldreda who founded two monasteries in A.D. 673. At Gorleston, where he was, Hughes's time was interrupted. There is not so much the worry of money as there is a moderate endowment. He has only 60 people. He has a beautiful Church and a big house.

Hughes, Archbishop (John) (New York, New York)
Heads of an article or articles on the Catholic Press in the U(nited) S(tates). 1) The utility, almost the necessity of such a press in a country and age like this. It struggles against popular error and prejudice - it maintains truth - it intercommunicates Catholic intelligence among the scattered portion of the Universal Church in this wide spread country - creates sympathies of feeling strengthens the bonds of charity. 2) It is not to be denied that the right management of the Catholic Press is a matter of some difficulty. If any questions should be unadvisably or erroneously treated of in the Catholic Press, the consequences would be injurious to religion in many ways. The opinion of the writer would be taken up in the secular and sectarian papers as that of the Catholic body at large. The Catholic readers, at least many of them, would be likely to adhere to such an opinion because it had been advanced in one of their journals, and still more because it had been denounced by known enemies of the faith. In such cases if the matter should turn out to be of sufficient importance, it might become necessary for the authorities of the Church to interfere. This would be a misfortune and an injury to the good influence of the Catholic Press.

There was a general movement among the Catholics to make Brownson's lecture an occasion for expressing their feelings of personal kindness for him because he had put forth much energy, in the face of many discouragements, for the Catholic cause. If nothing interfered with Hughes' plans, he will be among the group.
