Brent, Emily C., Washington, D.C., to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1888 August 31

She could not resist the temptation of sending a few lines to one who is constantly in her thoughts. She read the "Scholastic" with intense interest, especially the sermon of Archbishop Ireland. She sympathizes with Edwards in the loss of Prof. Joseph Lyons. The other day she had a visit from old Father Curley of Georgetown who is now 92 years old. She encloses a letter of Jeannie Carroll written when she visited Notre Dame.
