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 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. Not having anything for Carrier's purpose Erben offered him an organ that was used at the Cathedral of Providence for many years for $800. As it was not mounted up Carrier could not judge of its appearance or sound. While Carrier thinks Erben...

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...

Carrière gives his negress Fanny permission to have her child baptized. :: V-4-n A. Note S. French 2pp. 12mo.

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...

Scope and Contents Carriere gives an account of his handling the financial business for the care of American students in France. He has not recently heard of the students in Nantes, but will inquire about them. Daniel O'Regan is now at St. Sulpice, but his health is in poor condition.

He has not yet received a copy of the decrees of the second council of Cincinnati. He...

Scope and Contents She thanks Hudson for sending the water to her but, unfortunately, before it could be applied to her dear friend, whose friendship with her had been so mutually helpful, he died. However, he did not die without some consolation for she did succeed in obtaining a copy of the "Daily Life for the Sick" for him before he succumbed. The thought of having her friend Father Tchan interceding for her in another world makes her appreciate the beauty and impenetrable depths of the Church. It was...

Scope and Contents She has always neglected to ask Hudson when he acknowledged the $5 the sent him in April. If Hudson has sent the Ave Maria to the Carmelite Convent in Baltimore they have never alluded to it. She is afraid there may be some mistake. Money is dirt but a good understanding is gold, as she cannot be too exact since becoming a widow. She aks Hudson to excuse the inquiry but they have a new Mother who has not yet found and learned the ways. She hopes Hudson is having success and she sees...

Scope and Contents She sent Hudson's box of books the first of the month. Since Hudson has not acknowledged, she is anxious.
