Scope and Contents Sister Mary of the Annunciation has sent from Pittsburgh Brownson's letter asking for Dunne's address in regard to the Catholic Congress. This is a little flattering to Dunne, showing that notwith-standing his having been hidden here in the woods for the last eight years he is not entirely forgotten. They did forget him in their invitations to the university last spring. Having had some experience in organizing conventions and feeling a great interest in the matter, he will make some...

Scope and Contents Dunne has just received the Catholic Review for June 29 which give him the first information he has received outside of Brownson's letters about the proposed Catholic Congress. By that he sees that Brownson does not have charge of the organization of the Congress directly, though indirectly, if he determines which papers are to be read, he will determine the business to come before the Congress. So the committee on organization is William J. Onahan, Henry J. Spaunhorst and Daniel A. Rudd. He...

Scope and Contents Dunne thanks Brownson for the admission card to the Congress. If he has them to spare, he would be glad to have half a dozen in blank. He has some friends in Baltimore and Philadelphia to whom he would like to be able to offer seats. If Brownson hasn't got them, please answer, so that Dunne may apply elsewhere, for he must get at least four seats, if possible. He judges from Brownson's letter that Bishop Richard Gilmour made a personal objection to him, an objection personal, independent of...

Scope and Contents Dunne has just returned. Clarke's letter, pamphlet, and books were just received. The books will be placed in the parish library. There was no such opening for his son as Clarke had inquired about. Mrs. C.C. Moore and six children are there. Dunne has a great deal of colony land which he sells only to actual settlers or improvers, except some large outlying bodies—away from colony settlement. Dunne lists three of these sections and their prices. He will write Clarke after the first rush...

Scope and Contents He has Hudson's note of Nov. 1. He is getting his colony project into shape. His contract gives him two years time to make sales out of his reservation and then the limit of his reservation will be as much more as he sold in those 2 years. He feels he must advertise extensively to push the sales. What arrangement can he make with the Ave Maria? He wants the enclosed advertisement inserted for 2 years from Jan. 7, 1882. The Disston Company will not bear any part of this expense; it will...

Scope and Contents Dunne has received Brownson's letter of the 15th and will prepare a 30 minutes paper on Education for the Catholic Congress, as he suggests, and will if possible attend the Congress to read it. He will transmit the paper to Brownson before September 30. It seems to appear from Brownson's letter that the Congress is to have more of a lay character than Dunn supposed while writing the suggestions he forwarded yesterday. But Brownson says the project has been laid before James Cardinal Gibbons...

Scope and Contents Doupanlup asks Purcell a favor for the church in France and all Europe, asking that he give him answers to certain questions which he lists. 1. Despite the separation of Church and State in the United States is there any relation between the clergy, either Catholic or Protestant and the government? 2. In grand calamities and social crises does not the government demand anything of the church? For example in the late war, did not President Lincoln call for prayers from Catholic bishops and...

In France Dupanloup knows of two bishops who were told indirectly by a layman, a business man, that, if they did not explicityly adhere, they would have a relatively difficult time obtaining certain marriage dispensations,...

It is far from his diocese that he received Purcell's letter. The next time he is in Paris he will do what he can with regard to Purcell's request.
