Scope and Contents Father Audran rejoices that McMaster has started a new subscription for the Pope, now that the Pope is practically a prisoner. He feels that whatever may be the embarrassments of clergy and faithful in the United States, none of them can overlook the necessity of doing all they can to succor the Pope in his trials. Steam ships have made the Vatican much nearer than formerly. Letter torn off at bottom Audran points out the wonderful example of true faith that Canadians have given, and he...

Scope and Contents He sends $10 for the Pope and $1 for Michael Egan. He is surprised that the numerous Allocutions of the Pope are not published by more Catholic papers than the L'Univers. Pius IX is a great spectacle in his daily teachings. God upholds this miraculous octogenarian on the throne of Peter for a purpose. McMaster should translate and publish the Allocution of Feb. 18 and do the same with those of the future. In this manner, better than McMaster's own words could do, the Pope's own words...

Scope and Contents Audran asks that McMaster send the Journal in the future to Jeffersonville. He is no longer Pastor of the Cathedral of Vincennes. After more than 22 years of hard and faithful service, without one reproach on his character or one complaint against him, he has been sent to this Parish. The reason is that Bishop Maurice de St. Palais, in a fit of unjust jealousy, because he wrongly thinks that the people of Vincennes have more regard for the writer than for the Bishop, tells him that in...

Scope and Contents He requests a favor which McMaster had offered to do some eleven years before. When he went to Europe he was requested by Bishop Maurice St. Palais and Father John Mougin to purchase Stations of the Cross in France. He bought two sets but had to leave so instructions were left to have them sent to Louisville in the care of Father Bouchet. The customs officers refused to release the stations even on the sworn statement of Father M Bouchet that they were church goods. He enlists...

Scope and Contents Father Audran encloses a clipping from the Louisville Courier-Journal of March 11. It wuotes two letters from the Catholic Telegraph, which he feels are scandalous. He feels that the author should be censured, even if he be the Archbishop John Baptist Purcell of Cincinnati. Audran encloses a protest which he had planned on sending to both McMaster and the Telegraph, but feels that the Telegraph would probably not insert it at any rate. He gives McMaster permission to use it. The...

Scope and Contents Audran states that he had no idea his letter would be singled out for publication before the the American Catholics. He is not used to publicity. He was not a friend of Bishop Simon Brute in the manner McMaster indicated, but only knew him through relatives, and as a boy, on the occasion of the Bishop's visit to France. When Audran came to Vincennes Indiana it was not in company with the Bishop, but with his Coadjutor and successor, Bishop Celestine de la Hailandiere, the Bishop having...

Scope and Contents Audran appreciates the assistance McMaster gave him in the "Journal" by publishing the appeal of Father V.G. Schnell . He encloses $21.50 which he hopes McMaster will not refuse.

The people have banded together to help in rebuilding his house and the church debts will be paid. He believes exactly what McMaster says of Bishop Silas Chatard . He lists the additional contributions. P.S. He...

Scope and Contents Audran thanks McMaster for an article of Oct. 19, on the late Bishop Felix Dupanloup of Orleans, France. The young clergy and laity of the country who are not acqainted with the history of the church for the past 25 or 30 years may feel startled and half scandalized at the severity of McMasters remarks in regard to so celebrated a prelate, and Audran knows that some do, but tells McMaster not to worry about it. It is best that they should be undeceived so that undue respect and...

Scope and Contents He sends $10.00 for the Pope, and although it is late he is sure McMaster will take care of it. The Freeman's Journal is the only Catholic paper that continually calls attention to the Pope in a Practical manner. He prays that God may lighten McMaster's burden occasioned by the loss of his wife. He offered Mass for her soul and will continue to do so. This is the best manner in which he can show his esteem and affection. They live in very gloomy times, but should work all the harder for...

Scope and Contents He thanks McMaster for his kind letter and for the trouble taken to get Audran out of difficulty. Although an affidavit made before the proper U.S. officers in Louisville has been in the hands of Austin, Baldwin and Co., agents for the French Transatlantic Co., for nearly a month, they do not seem to have availed themselves of it. Audran went to the Louisville Custom House and made another affidavit which he sends to McMaster. The merchant's bill giving a detailed statement of the...

Scope and Contents He encloses $5.00 for his subscription to the Freeman's Journal, and states that the paper is gaining in popularity with Catholics. The paper, while not a religious paper in the ordinary sense, is assuredly that of a Catholic laymen who knows and defends his religion. The editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer failed to publish McMaster's answer, thereby showing his infidelity to Catholics who had been his friends. The mere fact of publishing the letter would have redeemed the editor in the...
