Olmsted, C.S.C., Father William A., New York, New York to James F. Edwards, 1901 September 25

He received Edwards' letter with interest. His work is not hard and mental rest and peace away from Notre Dame makes life easier. There are many improvements going on in the city. He will like to work with Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C. and hopes to be with him soon. He appreciates what the Provincial told him: that his health is more important than Corby Hall and to take a rest, regain his health and return. He likes New York. Some of the things that happened before he left turned him against Notre Dame somewhat. He hopes the enrollment is large. Father Andrew Morrissey C.S.C. is a dear good man and Olmsted does not blame him for letting him out of Corby. He lists some books he wants Edwards to see are safe. He is glad Theodore Roosevelt is president. He won't fuss over the way he was treated by some; he will live to see the hypocrites buried. P.S. He asks to be remembered to the Provincial, Fathers Hudson and Morrissey. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 8pp.
