Notwithstanding the kindness shown Howley by the people, he cannot come to an arrangement with the Bishop. His position is a strained one. His late Propaganda letters sent him here and declare his right to be of this diocese. But the Bishop Thomas J. Power? will not pay any attention to them. Howley would like to return to Notre Dame and help it any way he could. Propaganda would approve such a project. If Hudson would mention this matter to Father General Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C. it would be a favor. Howley is busy getting out his memoirs of Bishop John T. Mullock and writing for a Christmas number of a paper. :: X-3-l A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo.
