Connolly, Martin St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1869 October 8

He cannot understand Edwards' coolness in not writing. He was glad to see his name in the Scholastic as among those returned. He sees that Edwards' perseverence is great in supporting the library of the Archcongraternity of the Blessed Virgin which must number 300 volumes by this time. Connolly had intended to write long before but had heard that Edwards had entered the Novitiate and later that his father had taken him home lest he should enter. Professor Joseph A. Lyons promised to send him "The Almanic of Notre Dame" but has evidently forgotten all about it. J. R. Dinnen has been ordained. There are several from Notre Dame here. P.S. He asks Edwards to send him his picture. :: XI-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
