Scope and Contents Dalloz has been slow in answering Blanc's two letters because of his many duties. He sees in the first letter that his older brother kept his word given on August 12, 1843, to persecute Dalloz and to try to ruin him everywhere he went. Dalloz's vocation as missionary dates from February 1827; being ordained on December 17, 1836, he dared not talk about it because of his mother. On February 29, 1840, their mother being dead, his brother wished to join Lacordaire who had just embraced the...

Scope and Contents On his arrival in Avoyelles, a young lady lent Dalloz a statue of the Blessed Virgin; he had an altar built and a great many came to prayers for the month of May. A. Marye has seen plaster statues in a shop near the Cathedral for 5 piastres. He adds the shipping charges and asks Blanc to have one sent to him. Father Nicolas Francais has told Dalloz that he had left a missal here; on his arrival Dalloz learned that Father Stephen Chartier had taken it together with a vestment. The ex-pastor...

Scope and Contents Blanc's letter of August 16 came on September 5. He received the statue on August 27. Since the box contained neither a letter nor the things he had asked Blanc for, he was worried until he learned that boats were no longer coming because of the low water. This also kept him from going to Rapides where he anticipates much work. He believes he is doing the right thing in going back to his Paris breviary as his accidently fell into the water on June 28. When he gets his fine main altar he will...

Scope and Contents On Saturday Dalloz received Blanc's letters dated the 1st and the 6th of this month. He thanks him for the notice of the retreat. He has not been to Confession since March 7 and he has much advice to ask about things he dare not put on paper. Several times he has not returned home from missions until Sunday morning; he was tempted to say Mass in the little group where he had spent the night. But not seeing it in his instructions, he had not done so. He asks Blanc to fill his Holy Oil case....

Scope and Contents Blanc is perhaps surprised that Dalloz has not yet obeyed his order to break with his trustees. At the Christmas Mass, Dalloz asked them to meet the following Saturday. They paid no attention and on December 31, Dalloz announced that he was leaving. The same day cholera broke out and he thought Blanc would not be dissatisfied if he stayed while the epidemic lasted. Now that the danger is past, he will try for a meeting on January 17. If they do not come he will announce his departure. He saw...

Scope and Contents Dalloz has asked permission of the Bishop of Nevers to reply to Blanc's letter about Father Charles Dalloz . Father Charles, before his error, had been praised by his Superiors at the seminary, and during six years as an assistant in quite a large parish was regarded as a most pious and zealous priest. Unfortunately the pastor of Moulins wished to keep him until his death and that is what caused his ruin. Dalloz had asked Bishop Paul Naudo, to give him some other place where his health would...

Scope and Contents They are honored in having such a kind friend in Seton. If he realized the good he has done them by his instruction and example, he would not consider the time wasted. She will treasure the little paper cutter Seton told her of inasmuch as it has traveled about in Seton's company. If Seton can within the next two weeks say two Masses for the dead, he will greatly oblige her. Seton adds a note on the letter: From a Catholic public school teacher in St. Patrick's parish. :: II-1-b ...

Scope and Contents He sends the resolutions adopted at their county convention. The readers of the Freeman's Journal wish McMaster success and pray for the triumph of the principles McMaster advocates. The resolutions are contained in a clipping from the Cincinnati Enquirer consisting of a letter of John M. Cox as president of the Butler County Democratic Convention in which the resolutions were drawn up reaffirming the Resolutions of 1798 and nominating C.L. Vallandigham for President and Thomas H....

Scope and Contents He has not received a copy of the Freeman since his return from Ireland, although he stopped at McMaster's office on the way back and told his clerk to send it to the old address. He asks that McMaster collect Dalton's dividend check on the Manhattan Life Insurance Company, and with the money he is to pay Pat English's debt to the Freeman to date and cancel the subscription, pay for Dalton's subscription to January 1876, after that to arrange for a weekly or monthly Catholic paper from...

Scope and Contents Dalton reminds McMaster that he complained some time ago of his copy of the Freeman being help up in the local post office out of contempt for him, because he is a Catholic. The term of office of the incumbent postmaster, Bosworth, is almost up, and Dalton would like to have him replaced with Daniel Collins, who is a good Catholic and an honest Democrat, who has been voting thirtyfive years. Dalton appeals to McMaster to use the influence he has with New York post office and elsewhere...

Scope and Contents An article in the last number of the Journal causes Daly some doubts. He holds to the same doctrine as does McMaster in that the people have the right to dispose of themselves. The Roman people appear to accept the rule of Victor Emmanuel with a great deal of complacency. The Papal States do not seem to belong to the people but to the Pope. Daly asks when the transfer of ownership occurred, since the people accepted the Pope as their temporal leader. No former conqueror had the right to...
