Scope and Contents Edwards' letter brought to the family the first ray of sunshine since Ed's escapade in South Bend. Edwards' letter served to modify the disgrace which would otherwise attach to the boy in his mother's eyes. They cannot send him back to Notre Dame University to face the scorn of an uncharitable faculty. They have Georgetown in mind. Ed's offense was a grave one but every rule of discipline ought to be tempered with mercy. No student should be turned away from the university before his parents...

Scope and Contents This letter is damaged leaving the top fourth of each page incomplete. It would reflect very much on her character for she has solemnly sworn to renounce the world and espouse the cause of Christ, the institution of the Ursuline convent. That she has possibly regretted one step should be a serious admonition against taking hastily another which she may more heartily regret. It is no trifling privilege to be admitted into the Sisterhood, secure from the many hardships of life. She frequently...
