Bishop John Lancaster Spalding is responsible for the omission in his book, since not Kehoe but Spalding read the proof. The Catholic Publication Society Company is neither unfriendly to Notre Dame, nor is its attitude influenced by trade with the University. Kehoe can not see that the C.P.S.C. has been discourteous to Notre Dame. The Paulists own the Catholic World, but not the Society; they never get a dollar from the Society and the Paulists pay for matter published by the Society for them. The Catholic World is controlled by Father Isaac Hecker, Mr. Gallway is assistant editor. Kehoe can not get a notice of their book because Hecker won't allow them. "Christian Schools" was not noticed on this account. Because Kehoe could not get good notices of their books he started the Bulletin. He has never heard Hecker speak disparagingly of Notre Dame. Kehoe wondered when Hudson paid for the Catholic World and he paid in return for the Ave Maria now he understands. Concerning yearbooks, Notre Dame has published few, but the one that Kehoe knows of, that being Eliot Ryder 's work on poetry, which was sent for notice and was wretched, Kehoe got Galwey to let up with a short review. He prefers a notice of a book on its merits, for this is the only way Catholic books of the O'Kane Murray type can be eliminated. Kehoe never talks about the good he does, but he believes he advertised Notre Dame. He hopes Hudson will not think him harsh because of his frankness. The Catholic Publication Society Company is owned by George Hecker, who spent $200,000 to bring it to its present improved condition. Since Hecker is growing old, and as Father Isaac Hecker is unlikely to be active again, Hecker offered to sell the Catholic Publication Society Company to Kehoe, but he has not the money. The business is well paying now, and will continue so if cut loose from Paulist influence, and could be more independent. The sale of it would not include the Catholic World, that the Paulists would keep. Kehoe can raise $5000 and pay the balance in ten years, but Hecker wants a larger cash down payment. If Hudson knows of anyone who can lend the necessary money, Kehoe is a good risk and will own the C.P.S.C. If no buyer is found, the business will be gradually cut back until it is suspended. This will kill Kehoe, since he gets one quarter of the profits. :: X-2-i A.L.S. 10pp. 4to. 10
