Scope and Contents Pages 1 and 2 missing ... Page 3: McMaster has his excuses. He is afraid McMaster will fell grieved and disappointed when he hears the tales of those returning to New York, but the sickly reason that has put a stop to emigration will give them time to look about them and plan a course of action for the future. Longuemare will abide by McMaster's decisions. Some of the lands he has procured are good and some are not so good. B.G. Caulfield will come to New York, and McMaster can get his...

Scope and Contents When he wrote last he stated that he was waiting for certain arrangements to be completed by the government and the results of which are shown by the enclosed documents. He has carte blanche with everything connected with emigration and lands. He leaves the 26 for Cardova to meet the Emperor Maximilian and get an appropriation with which he hopes to carry to his program. He wonders that since every one if working for themselves, why shouldn't he do likewise. He is eager for capitalists...

Scope and Contents He arrived in St. Louis after 5 days after meeting with all sorts of accidents. The engine burst, ran off track etc.; he almost froze to death, and as consequence has been sick for four days. He finds St. Louis changed. The influx of strangers makes it look like a strange city. He met all his old friends. Eugene has gone to Florida; Alex Garasche is in Washington and McMaster will probably see him as he passes through. Baudry Grasche is in New York. There is a great fever for...

Scope and Contents He congratulates McMaster and his wife on the birth of a son, hoping that the son will be as nearly like his father in all that goes to make up a man, and will inherit some of the virtues of the mother. He has been wardering about, with no object in view. He hopes the Fenians would kick up a respectable row which would have justified his visiting them. He points out that the struggle in Europe has checked his aspirations, but at least he will have the satisfaction of witnessing a war...

Scope and Contents Loras acknowledges the letter of July 17. He is more convinced that Wisconsin should be erected into a new see, particularly since he saw Bishop Peter Richard Kenrick at Galena Illinois. Kenrick would willingly cede to the new diocese certain counties from Illinois as desired by some persons. This must be examined in the next council. Detroit will have enough by having Michigan. Loras has changed his mind concerning the French catechisms. Bishop Benedict J. Flaget of Louisville has given...

Scope and Contents Loras acknowledges Lefevere's favor of November 30. After reflection he adds to what Bishop Peter Richard Kenrick says the M.K. Father John Kenny is given to lying and has given scandal at Galena. If he is repentant Lefevere could try him for a month. The general rule adopted by the Bishop of Dubuque with regard to strange priests is to allow one year's trial during which he could leave or the bishop dismiss him. Loras deplores the conduct of Father Vincent F. Badin, and explains the...

Scope and Contents Loras has been told that is was found quite astonishing that Father James Causse of Potosi Wisconsin Territory lately visited Mineral Point, Wisconsin Territory. That town has been attended only by Father Samuel Mazzuchelli, O.P. of Dubuque and Loras did not know that Father Martin Kunding was expected there. He will write to Causse not to go there. Father Joseph Cretin, Vicar General, has been at Prairie du Chien Wisconsin Territory for more than two years and Loras asks Bishop Lefevere to...

Scope and Contents He asks to be excused for writing in French. He has received McMaster's article on his book. He regrets also that he was not more exact in the article in question.

When he was a student at St. Esprit in Paris in 1853 he and his friend Able McCordier, used to call Bonnetty "Doctor" and he was under the impression that he was a doctor. He has always regarded Bonnetty as a clever man...

Now Loughlin learns from Mr. Dalton that McFarland objected to this when he was at Ellicott's Mills, and insisted that anyone supported from Father Corry's funds should belong to the diocese of Hartford. Loughlin asks McFarland to inform him whether Corry was right in making...

Scope and Contents Loughlin apologizes for not answering McFarland more promptly. He saw Archbishop John McCloskey twice but forgot to ask him the question. McCloskey said that he told Father John Corry that he thought that anyone educated from the estate of Father James O'Reilly should be for the diocese of Hartford. So also Loughlin thought and would prefer not to have anything to do with the matter. Loughlin supposes that McFarland will pay the expenses of Mr. Dalton to the extent he said in his note. He...
