Scope and Contents Hudson objected to Drummond's speaking of Francis Parkman's style as "second rate poetical prose". An article in the London Tablet of March 26th criticizing "A Troubled Heart" may help Hudson to understand Drummond's point of view. The words he used in a lecture on the French element were "his second rate poetical prose seems to have damaged him in England". Now a high-toned English paper passes a severer judgement on a work which is admired on this side of the water. The difference...

There is great indifference in Ireland regarding the...

Scope and Contents He acknowledges Bruté's letter of July 10 which he received yesterday while on a visit to his diocese. He did not regard the matter that Bruté mentions of importance until he received Bruté's letter.

He told them that a promiscuous reading of the Bible would produce more harm than good. DuBourg did express a wish that translations of the New ...

Scope and Contents DuBourg has just received a letter from Father Simon Gabriel Bruté in which he presses him to remain for the Council, but he has his own reason for leaving with his brother. If he delayed until the council he would not go until the spring time because the council is not convoked until November 10. His efforts to move up the date ten or fifteen days have been fruitless. Since it seems impossible that they do anything in less than 20 days that would delay him until December and make the...

Scope and Contents DuBourg has received through his brother Louis DuBourg the letter Bruté wrote out of his affection for him. Because such letters are so helpful he hopes that Bruté will repeat them frequently.

He is at peace and that seems to be the fruit of his efforts. Some of the people have retained traces of their faith, and a few apostles would do an immense...

Scope and Contents It seems almost a century since they stopped corresponding. DuBourg suspects the cause and it is time now for him to explain himself. Brute thought him cool but that is not true.

He recommends particularly Mrs. Baker, the bearer of this letter. She is an American who has become an excellent Catholic ...

Scope and Contents What a road; what precipices! DuBourg does not remember enduring such fatigue. After walking half the second day to avoid breaking their limbs on the third day they could not keep the stage from overturning three times. They have at last gone all on foot, following their stage on which their baggage was loaded. After the brambles, and the slippery rocks of the way they were in bad shape when they arrived at Pittsburg. At the inn they left Neil and Martin with Augustin and the baggage...

Scope and Contents Brute should tranquillize himself. DuBourg has already written according to his desires. Brute had merely to hold to his first decision.

He admire the delicacy of Brute's letter since he was himself in doubt whether it was a loan or gift. He will extinguish this obligation of justice, altough he will not see the means of getting out of his embarrassments for a year or two. Brute did right in retaining the $25 from Mrs. Hase.
