Enclosed is $35 from Mr. Brosnan. He pays for all his subscribers and the $12 due for 6 copies for 1879. The payment for 6 copies for 1880 will be paid later. Brother Stanislaus called on Mrs. Saul who desires to have the paper continued. He had no identification to show he was from Notre Dame so did not call on more. Mr. Brosnan wishes to know Mrs. Shoemaker's address. Stanislaus will send the notices of the papers. He is working to get their bill strengthened against Senator Morrill's opposition, and must see all their friends in the Senate to tell them how the matter stands. Representative Major Calkins dreads Morrill's influence. The Major saw Senator Booth of California, who has influence with Morrill. It did no good. It is difficult to see any of Congressmen. He must see McDonald, Voorhees and Blaine. Bayard has given Brother Stanislaus encouragement, as he got the bill through the Committee in spite of Morrill and they will get it through the Senate also. Bayard is chairman of the Committee; Morrill is also a member. When Stanislaus has seen Voorhees, McDonald and Blaine again he will have done all that he can. He will then go to Baltimore for a rest. Hudson should tell Brother Edward that Brother Stanislaus has consulted an excellent lawyer of Moffitt's case. He can collect no more bounty, but if disabled can apply for pension. Koockogey is in Baltimore. Sorry to hear that Mr. Rodgers' cough continues. It may pay to go to Boston and have Childs do the printing as he is cheaper. Mr. Barnes sent a sample of Pearl paper. Reynolds declined to come down in price and Brother Stanislaus made arrangements accordingly. There is paper for 6 or 8 weeks without his. Reynolds is determined to bulldoze them into taking his now that the stock is collected. They will yield but Reynolds must keep the paper at his own risk. Hudson is not to send the Scientific American anymore. The following letter is attached:
