Scope and Contents

Stoddard is looking for Bishop John Joseph Keane to visit Munich within a week or two. Stoddard will write Mr. Vail that he may return to England for May and to the United States in June. Stoddard is anxious to know what Hudson will say about the proposition Bishop Keane made him with regards to teaching English Literature at the Catholic University. Poor Philip Brownson, Stoddard does not believe that he ever suffered a pang of love or remorse in his life, or could shed a tear though it might extinguish the fires of hell. While at Covington, Stoddard put together an album of pictures of people he knew at Notre Dame. Stoddard received word from John Conlon's brother that he had died in January. Bishop Keane took him to visit the Haywoods in Rome. Haywood lives in a palace built by Henry VIII for his ambassador and has a library of over twelve thousand priceless volumes. He gave Stoddard two of his volumes, while W.W. Story gave him one of his together with a letter to Ouida in Florence. Accepting Ouida's invitation, Stoddard on two occasions visited her. How they dissected their several literary brothers and sisters! She is fat, fair and forty with the voice and vanity of a peacock. :: X-3-i A.L.S. 8pp. 8vo.
