Edwards, James Farnham: Notre Dame, Indiana to William J. Onahan: Chicago, Illinois, 1893 March 15

The Columbus picture has not arrived. Edwards thanks Onahan for interesting Mr. Gunther in their collections. A letter from Gregori states that he shall leave Italy for America in April, so Onahan should hold himself ready for sittings in May. Feeling incapable of representing the University of Notre Dame, Edwards declines the invitation to prepare a paper for the Columbian Catholic Congress. He asks whether Notre Dame is doing anything for the educational exhibit. All he can learn is that "The Scholastic" is printing a special number. He asks Onahan's reaction to the new Laetare medalist, Patrick Donahue, who fought the battles when champions were hard to find. Bishop Spalding is to lecture at Notre Dame in May.
