Scope and Contents In his letter of March 1, Milde informed Rese of the sum of 779 florins and 40 Kreutzers which were designated by benefactors of the dioceses of the Empire for certain missionaries. Later he thought this the best way to send another 85 florins for Father John Neuman, a missionary in the diocese of New York. Thus the sum of 864 florins and 40 Kreutzers should have come to Rese. He asks that the gift for Father Neumann be sent to the Bishop of New York. He begs remembrance at the altar. ::...

Scope and Contents Desiring to aid poor members of the Church in North America as much as possible he decreed in the last session of the Leopoldine Association to allot to the diocese in Lefevere's charge 4.000 florins standard currency that this sum may go towards helping the Germans nation in his diocese. He also sends at the same time for the zealous missionary Father Frederic Baraga 650 florins, 30 Kreuzers, and for Father Francis Piery 272 florins, 30 Kreutzers. He and the Leopoldine Association are...

Scope and Contents Miles has been waiting for some time to receive some money from his brothers but in consequence of the failure of their small grain crop they cannot raise it until spring. Miles must raise $175 by New Years Day. As he is a stranger, he calls on Timon to procure it for him. He will return it in 2 or 3 months; his crop is good for double the amount. The money is to make a payment for his land. Miles was at the Cape yesterday; several strangers were in search of church. If they are not ...

He encloses an exeat for Mr. Charles L. De Preitre as requested by Lefevere. Miles gives De Preitre full liberty to go where he pleases. This course seemed necessary as he changes his mind so often. Miles would hesitate before he would impose hands on one who seems not to know his own mind. Miles hopes to meet Lefevere in Baltimore in the spring. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Last fall, Louis Doel came to Miles from Lefevere's diocese. Miles was unwilling to receive him as he had no letter from Lefevere and he thought he manifested a want of steadiness of purpose. Doel has since been staying with Father Ivo Schacht and studying theology under Schacht. Doel now asks to be examined preparatory to the reception of orders. Miles asks Lefevere to give him any information he can about Doel so that he may judge with more precision. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents The Ratification of the Constitution by the State of New York in 1788 indicates the path of duty and honor, as well as of expediency to be pursued by the approaching convention at Albany. He asks McMaster to publish this ratification in his next issue so that the public may appreciate the importance of this remarkable document. He sees no alternative between immediate secession by New York and an armistice accompanied with a proposal to join the contemplated Congress of Europe....

Scope and Contents Since McMaster expressed a desire to hear from Miller often, he is resuming their correspondence which was broken off by his attempt to find a Northern statesman able to appreciate the spiritual as well as the temporal symptoms of the South. But under philanthropic sympathy for the Negro he discovered not only avarice and ambition, but also hatred in the spiritual, temporal, political, and religious matters, guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States. James Madison and Edward...

He would have acknowledged McMaster's letter immediately but he has had a violent attack of influenza which confined him to his bed from which he has just risen to say that he will come to New York on Monday if he is well enough. If he comes he will be at the counting house of Duncan, Sherman and Co. at noon, Tuesday where he should like to meet McMaster. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents McMaster's agent called upon Miller yesterday morning and the latter wrote McMaster a hasty note. After conversing with some of their mutual friends he is induced to enlarge a little. He does not know McMaster personally but they have mutual sympathies in a political, philosophical, and a religious sense. According to Miller the dissolving tendencies of Protestantism have done their perfect work resulting in anarchy, which is the inevitable logical consequence of free inquiry and...

Scope and Contents According to Miller the chaotic national situation arises from both spiritual and temporal sources. Avarice and ambition are waging a war of extermination not only upon fixed capital but upon free labor, under the pretense of saving the Union. The life, liberty and property of the citizen are driven to the "slaughter pen" of the usurpers. Spiritually, the clergy's vocation is to reflect the prejudices of their congregations. With very few exceptions generally in the Roman or Anglican...

Scope and Contents Miller feels the ship of state is being tossed about needlessly by governor Seymour, Wm. A. Duer, Francis Kieran, etc. who are to address a meeting in Utica New York that evening. Miller is unable to attend. He was unable to avail himself of McMaster's invitation but hopes to see him later at his leisure. Power is something which is derived from the weight of consequences resulting from a knowledge of what has happened in the past. Activity, stimulated by true philanthropy, and guided...

Scope and Contents Since McMaster has sought his advice, Miller makes some suggestions. So long as present conditions persist the national and state governments will remain in a revolutionary state. On the other hand, if a union of mind in a recognized code of ethical principles could be once obtained appropriate political relationships would necessarily result. If they disregard or ignore this essential preliminary procedure it is to attempt at construction without a plan or to build upon quicksand. It...

Scope and Contents McMaster's letter to Miller's son encourages him to hope that their "sick man" may survive the crisis of his malady which is an infirmity of mind rather than body. This "sick man" they refer to is the world of politics generally. Miller says it is considered impertinent of anyone to pretend to understand astronomy, physiology, medicine, or law without having studied these sciences. Yet, every one feels himself adept in the science of politics. The governing class insist that they alone...

Scope and Contents He thanks McMaster for the insertion of his article. Miller goes on to say that Denio's opinion is more generous upon labor than the decision of the court of appeals for the reason that he settles the whole depreciation upon labor while the other judges divide it between capital and labor. Judge Denio's opinion coincides remarkably with his interests because he is a large holder of bonds and mortgages, and government securities. Miller has read McMaster's leader on "The Union and State...

After careful consideration of his clients' position as to the property next to the Marian Hospital, Miller will not vary from the terms submitted to Lefevere in his letter of May 23.

Scope and Contents In reply to Timon's letter of May 5 Mina would say he was much annoyed that Antonio Palleli Palelli caused Timon so much expense. Mina did not read the letter Timon wrote Palelli because it was in English but he told Mina that Timon had permitted him to enter the Congregation again and that as he was destitute of all financial aid, as was Mina, Mina had advised him to pay for his trip out of the sum he was sending, telling the superior that it was just. Mina begs Timon's pardon; he ...

Scope and Contents The bearer of this letter, Antonio Palleli will give Timon 180 piastres, the total for the bill Timon sent for board and expenses for Jean Jacques Troneler, Mina's protégé. Palleli was robbed of all he had; he is embarrassed about paying his passage. Mina has taken it on himself to tell him to pay it out of the money Palleli will bring; Mina thinks this is just. His protégé, Troneler, does not make progress, he believes Timon can send him to him; he is not in a state to make foolish ...
