Brent, Emily C., Washington, D.C., to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1887 September 12

She is obliged to ask Edwards to return to her Archbishop John Carroll's will, the account of his obsequies, and some of his sermons. John Gilmary Shea is anxious to have a copy of them for his book on the life of Archbishop Carroll. She is indebted to Shea for pictures of the mother of the Archbishop. She gave the papers to Edwards only because of her friendship for him, not because of any interest she might have in Notre Dame.
