He has many things to write but will wait until they meet. P.S. He asks Hudson to...

Scope and Contents Carrier thinks Edwards is doing a noble work for his Alma Mater, and he deserves every encouragement from the members of Holy Cross. Carrier regrets that he cannot send the personal objects mentioned. They were lost in the gulf of Mexico in 1876. As to war memorials he sends a pair of brass candlesticks, cruets and a poor photograph of himself in uniform. The only mark of his position as chaplain was a silver cross on his left shoulder. He sends also his diplomas. The Licientiate of Science...

Scope and Contents Carrier had over 700 letters from bishops and archbishops, but many are now at the bottom of the gulf of Mexico, others are in the hands of a friend at Notre Dame, or were burned in the great fire of 1879. Edwards could get letters of Bishop Joseph Cretin of St. Paul from Bishop John Ireland . Father Louis De Cailly of Fort Madison, Iowa could give Edwards autographs of Bishop Mathias Loras of Dubuque. Carrier will endeavor to get a set of portraits of the Canadian bishops. Things are...

Scope and Contents During his last visit to Notre Dame Father Frederick Linneborn, C.S.C. told him that he intended to publish a Golden Jubilee history of Holy Cross Seminary. Carrier wrote down what he could remember of the place where he made his novitiate and was superior for many year. Edwards can aid Linneborn in this work, especially by loaning him "Guide to Notre Dame", a second edition augmented by Carrier. Edwards should renew his efforts to erect a fire-proof building for his precious ecclesiastical...

Scope and Contents For the sake of friendshop he begs Edwards to read his appeal to the select few of his friends. He hardly believes Edwards has the pecuniary means but he has the will. This Institution is unable to help him. :: XI-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. Carrier, for many years professor of science, has succeeded in collection about 80,000 objects which are stored in a large apartment of St. Laurent College. He desires to erect a small octagonal shaped fireproof building to contain the Canadian Library, meseum, and...

Scope and Contents Before long he hopes to procure for Edwards some volumes of the "Montreal Free Witness" which for more than 30 years was the only organ of the English Catholics of Canada and had for its editors such men as D'Arcy, McGee, Clerk. He will also try to obtain a set of "Montreal Daily Post", the only Catholic daily paper published on the American Continent in the English language. He sends now "The Spectator", a Catholic College paper published under his direction for a year or so. He urges...

Scope and Contents He never doubted Edwards' generous friendship. He must admit that he has done something in establishing and protracting the scientific course at Notre Dame. He is afraid that Father John A. Zahm C.S.C. is not over just in his appreciation of what he owes to Carrier. The disciple is now famous while the magister is content to remain ignorant. He is glad that Prof. Timothy E. Howard is writing the history of Notre Dame. Carrier would be flattered if the name of one who labored at Notre Dame...

Scope and Contents The "Bishops' Hall" is a most praiseworthy idea if carried out to completeness. He suggests that it should contain all the bishops of the whole American continent. He sends a photograph of Bishop Vital Grandiu of St. Albert, Saskatchewa Territory and one of Bishop Charles-Auguste de Forbin-Janson of Nancy and Toul, France who was a kind of missionary in this country.

This map was published in a new "Guide to Notre Dame" edited by Carrier. Carrier asks Edwards to find out who was the author of the first edition of that Guide, whether it was a Miss Adams, a sister of Mrs. Flora S. Guthrie, now Sister Ignatius C.S.C. The author of the History of Notre Dame for the Golden Jubilee ought to have copies of the Guide and the map. Carrier...

Scope and Contents

Conformably to Edwards' request, he wrote his reminiscences of Prof. Max Girac. Judge Howard may desire to avail himself of Carrier's souvenirs of the great musician.

Carrier will do all he can to further the undertaking. :: XI-1-m A.L.S. 2pp.

Scope and Contents He regrets that he cannot aid Edwards in the matter of "Brownson's Review." At present he has not in his possession a single line of that, his favorite author.

These he bought out of money he got from his family. He suggests that Edwards write to Father Michael Robinson C.S.C. , Holy Cross Farm. :: XI-1-b...

Scope and Contents

he sends a package of printed matter relating to their Museum and library at St. Laurent. His ardent wish for a separate fire-proof museum and library is about to be realized.

He asks Hudson for advice on this matter. :: X-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Scope and Contents The Board of Administration of Notre Dame had sent him lately to the principal cities of the East to get an organ for their church. He went directly to New York and visited the establishment of Henry Erben, organ manufacturer, who is known to McFarland.

Scope and Contents Carrier read an account of the last illness of Fr. Neyron, and has been edified at his holy death. His has been a rather mysterious life, in some respects. Hudson knows, all at Notre Dame know, as well as Carrier, that he delighted in mystifying people-what one won't say in telling white lies. Bearing this in mind, Carrier has been pained to see in the last number of the "Scholastic" the ridiculously false stories told of him by his over-credulous biographer. Carrier had in his hands a...

Scope and Contents He received the money order for the expenses of Mr. O'Regan. As for the 800 francs of Bishop John B. Lamy, he encloses the response of the secretary of the Propagation of the Faith. He did his best for the cause of that good prelate, but Lamy must act directly himself. It is consoling to see the interest that all the Catholics of the world take in what concerns the Holy Father. It is indifferent whether Purcell sends the money to Rome or to Cardinal Barnabo. What Purcell tells him of his...

Scope and Contents Carriere regrets his failure to write, and that his wishes for the new year are late. But God who sees the sincerity of his heart will bless Purcell. Purcell already knows the Mr. Richter has gone to Rome. Mr. flint is with them but he is a hard man to understand. He does not form easily and if Purcell is not sure of his vocation, he will advise him to return home. They are satisfied with Mr. O'Regan and Mr. Dutton, the latter has ardor and good will but does not take sufficient care of...
