Spillard, C.S.C., Father Daniel J., Austin, Texas, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1880 April 16
Scope and Contents
Father Spillard encloses a draft for $50. $25 is for "Faith of Our Fathers" and the remaining $25 should be given to Mother Ascension. He will send the balance due Hudson as soon as possible. Hudson has probably heard from the late Texans, Fathers Demers and Shea, so Spillard will not write old news. Sorry to hear of Bishop Anthony Dominic Pellicer's death. Spillard was his guest during Holy Week and the Bishop called his attention to the boil on his neck. The boil turned out to be a carbuncle. Previously a carbuncle nearly cost him his life. The news of his death was through "News Special" from San Antonio, Spillard wonders what action the "General Chapter" of the Congregation of the Holy Cross will take regarding the "Decrees concerning unauthorized Congregations?" It may be providential that the capitulants are assembled at this time and can learn the real state of affairs and have full power to act for the Congregation. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
