Scope and Contents He sent McMaster a copy of the Protest against the indemnity bill which attempts to confiscate the right to redress on the part of the victim, but has not yet seen it published in any New York paper. It should be published there, for that city will probably see the law tried and the people should be educated to the idea that it is null and void. He attempted to make the Protest concise and dignified, but it met with disfavor from the Republicans. He thanks McMaster for the article on...

He encloses a clipping from the Buffalo Courier and a pamphlet advertising the appearance of a man calling himself Rev. J. G. White, from Facksonville, Illinois, who lectured in St. James Hall on the subjects announced in the sheet. He is sarcastic, and bitterly fanatic.

Scope and Contents It appears to the writer that, judging from all the extracts from the Freeman he has seen, McMaster does not understand the state of affairs in Germany. All the Protestants in Prussia and the American residents in Berlin, who are almost all Yankee Presbyterians, are in favor of destroying Catholic France, and the Catholic papers are crying out against France because she was no longer able to help the Pope. Meanwhile Catholics in the German army are fighting to put down Catholic France....

Scope and Contents O'Neill sent an article on the Death and Assumption of Mary. He understands Hudson's disinclination to mention O'Neill's application to Father-General Edward Sorin, C.S.C.. He found Hudson's advice to write to Sorin in French "rich". When addressing the community at St. Laurent College, Sorin used English. At Notre Dame he used the same language and then called on Father John A. Zahm, C.S.C. for an English speech. Sorin would suspect latent irony if O'Neill wrote to him in French. ::...

Yesterday O'Neill sent Hudson a translation of Abbe A. Durand's article on the Holy Letter. Anyone who read Daniel "Arthur" Paul's article "Our Lady of the Epistle in the Janiculum" must have concluded that the tradition referred to is merely a pious belief.

O'Neill forwards a marked copy of the Catholic Record, London, Ontario, in which appears a sketch of Father G. Lefebvre C.S.C. The sketch was written simply to advertise St. Joseph's in an indirect manner. O'Neill is of the opinion, the "bluenoses" of Holy Cross are too modest in talking up their colleges. Ever since O'Neill read the autobiography of P. T. Barnum he has been a firm believer in the potency of printer's ink. :: X-3-g A.L.S. 1p. 4to.

St. Mary's College, especially about the funds from the parish at Emmittsburg. He asked the Archbishop for a change and was assigned were he is. The income is sufficient and he has 4 missions to attend. He has seen the rumors about the Jesuits, but they would not train up men for the diocese. As to McFarland's joining the order that is a matter for his confessor to...

Scope and Contents He apologizes for his delay in answering because he has 4 congregations to care for.
