Higgins, John, Castlebar, Ireland, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1884 December 3

 Item — Box: CHUD 7
Identifier: CHUD X-2-n

Scope and Contents

Higgins was delighted to receive the Ave Maria, but disappointed to learn that the Knock Letters cannot be published in the Ave Maria. Higgins intends to write to Archdeacon B. Cavanagh suggesting that he correspond with Hudson, to make known the attitude of the Irish clergy and hierarchy concerning Knock. He believes he sent Hudson a copy of the letter of Bishop Murphy of Hobart, Tasmania. In August, 1882, the letter of Bishop John J. Lynch of Toronto, advocating Knock to the Canadian Bishops, was published in the Dublin Freeman's Journal . Lynch also sent one of his priests to Knock with a banner. Archbishop John MacEvilly of Tuam has held aloof. The Archbishops of Tuam and Toronto are not friends, so that Lynch's advocacy of Knock has done no good with local authorities. Higgins intends to get Archdeacon Cavanagh to copy the entire correspondence from the persons who profess to have been cured at Knock and send it to Hudson. :: X-2-n A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
