Jenkins, Father Thomas J., Hardinsburg, Kentucky, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1880 August 14
Scope and Contents
Hudson's letters received. Hudson is always right in curtailing Jenkins' articles and he may change what he pleases. Jenkins does not agree with Hudson on keeping mum the matter in debate. Jenkins would like to see some European Catholic modesty take the place of the counterfeit article manufactured in this country. Jenkins may visit Hudson the 1st Sunday of September. Jenkins is going to take Hudson "down a peg" for the first time. Aristotle wants to say that "we are bound to give heed to the opinions of the aged and experienced because from their having the eye of experience they see the principles of things." Jenkins does not grant that faculty to the men of their age. So Jenkins will try Hudson's humility by saying he did not depend so much on Hudson's personal judgment as that of some of Hudson's wiser superiors in the matter of his manuscript on Public Schools. This is no type of letter to write to a man with ague. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo
