Corby, C.S.C., Father William, Watertown, Wisconsin, to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1882 December 13

He was glad to hear from Edwards because Edwards knows better than anyone except Brother Edward how Corby esteemed Notre Dame and worked for its interests. It gives him consolation to know that he still finds a place in the affections of its inmates. Even if Edwards had not written, he would still consider him a friend. The prosperity of Notre Dame delights him. Money never was so flush in the United States as during the last two years. Perhaps they will see another financial crisis within three years. Corby is working hard to pay off the church debt in Watertown. He has some steel plates to sell to Prof. Joseph A. Lyons for his "Annual". :: XI-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
