Fitte, C. S. C., Father Stanislaus F., South Bend, Indiana to James F. Edwards, 1902 June 29

Instead of attending the retreat regularly he trys to assist and nurse Father Peter Lauth who has the chills and a fever. He hopes that in spite of Lauth's 69 years, he will recover. Fitte read an item in the Chicago Herald about Msgr. Robert Seton to the effect that he is to return to the United States having accepted the chair of archaeology in the Catholic University, but Fitte does not believe it, as Seton is determined to stay in Rome where he lives with Father Frederick Linneborne, C.S.C. at the Procure of the Holy Cross. Edwards must feel bad when he hears of the pleasant visit he missed, that of his old friend, man who never tells lies, but very seldom tells the truth and who pays compliments to everybody to their faces, but tears them to pieces behind their backs, the glorious Maurice Francis Egan. Brother Simon, C.S.C. died last Friday. Roche and O'Connor do not return next year. Dr. Austin O'Malley is not improving; they whisper that his marriage is a failure. Col. William Hoynes is to lecture before the Protestant Presbyterian school at Winona, Indiana. It is the first time a Catholic has been invited. :: XI-2-e A.L.S. 2pp.
