He thanks Edwards for the kind remembrance. He enjoyed his visit to Notre Dame. :: XI-1-d A.L.S. 1p 12mo

Scope and Contents He owes an apology for not answering Hughes' letter about his paper on temperance. Because he was so overwhelmed with business he could not write the paper before November 10, and he had it set up in type and did not get a copy until November 12; he tried to find Hughes but failed. His law business takes so much time, that he has to literally steal time to edit the C.T.A. News or do any temperance work. He refuses to furnish his picture—he has never furnished it for publication. :: III-3-d...

Scope and Contents Campbell will send circulars to Onahan. Onahan in turn, is to communicate with the Bishops. He leaves it to Onahan to devise the best method to reach his Church in other countries, in support of this measure of arbitration in international disputes. If Onahan thinks it best to have Catholic Clergy formally associated with him as members of this corresponding Committee, he should inform Campbell, who will name such a person as Onahan proposes for appointment by Campbell's Executive Committee....

Scope and Contents Referring to previously sent circulars pertaining to the petition on behalf of arbitration, Campbell wishes to know the number of bodies of the Catholic Church in the world, before which Onahan would propose to lay the petition for adoption, since the translating committee would like to know the number of "sets" to prepare. The Committees of correspondence of Protestant Churches often ask, what will be the attitude of the Catholic Church in regard to this petition. Onahan is asked to give...

Scope and Contents

Onahan's suggestion of Campbell sending copies of the Petition to each of the Archbishops in the United States is all right, but since Onahan is the Representative of the (Catholic) Church, he is the proper channel of communication.

Scope and Contents The enclosed circulars will explain the matter of the letter. Of the Executive Committee, whose names are given in one of these circulars, Col. C. O'B. Cowardin is of the Catholic Church. A conference which the latter had with Cardinal (James) Gibbons led to Onahan's being designated to act for his Church in this matter. Campbell asks how many copies of the petitions he will need to lay before ecclesiastical bodies of his Church. They are now being prepared in proper form, and properly...

Father Casimir Mouret before leaving this diocese had contracted several small debts, among them $12 to Mr. Beck ?. Mouret left a horse and buggy with Mr. Monin, a farmer near Canton.

Campion requests that McMaster honor Christmas day by not publishing a paper on December 25, but on Christmas Eve instead. He thinks liberal Catholics may object, but they are non-entities, and are "worse than the Communists who flung fire about Paris". Everything possible must be done in order to destroy the many invasions of Paganism into our Christian...
