Duffield, George, Lansing, Michigan, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1878 February 9

 Item — Box: CHUD 1
Identifier: CHUD X-2-d

Scope and Contents

He sends two reports of his paper on Pere James Marquette, both of which are imperfect. The article reads "for which papers I am indebted to the kind courtesy of Mr. Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame." Then after the reference to Wyclif he says, "The scattering of his bones, Marquette's I am well persuaded is only a symbol of the wide extension of his fame." After saying that there are some lessons for Christians from the lives of the early Jesuits, he says that these traits of character do not belong to any one church but to man as man and the world at large. The only regret he has in the erection of such a monument as Bancroft is that it should be built by Catholics alone. The rocks in that vicinity are apparently for such a noble purpose. He tells Hudson that the whole paper was received with much applause and will be published in the next volume of the Society. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. crown 8vo
