Scope and Contents The sketch of Pere Lecondaire was sent a few days ago. There was no hurry as she found Hudson was reproducing her Robin Redbreast. Supposes "Cyril" will begin with the new year. She has been cramming her outlines and leading events into her manuscript and it will make about 15 pages in the Ave Maria, for $15. Father Dennis has been sent to Rome for a post of responsibility. It was a great grief to the English people and they sent petitions to the Holy Father begging for a reprieve but...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter of Nov. 18th received and she wrote one to him the same day. Hopes the sketch of Pere Lecondaire has reached Notre Dame safely. "Cyril" is supposed to appear without the name of the author at the Cardinal's request. Also for the people concerned in the history it needs a much more famous name to make it interesting. The story is the true story of two souls and while writing it, the power was felt so intensely that it was an effort to go on with the work. She is sure it...

Scope and Contents

She thanks Hudson for the letter which was forwarded from Paris, where she will soon return. She is quite sure she will get the souvenir of Pere Lacordaire.

Scope and Contents Although Brownson said that if she received Brownson's Works, no answer to his letter was necessary, Madam Onahan tells him what a treasure they have been to her and to her pupils of the past year. She left to her brother the duty of acknowledging the safe arrival of the books which she considers the most valuable part of the library. Volume 20 seldom leaves her desk and is her "vade mecum". She promises to do all in her power to "spread devotion" to Dr. Orestes A. Brownson. :: III-3-b...

Scope and Contents When it was learned that McMaster was in Ohio, Onahan was authorized to invite him to Chicago to lecture for the Young Men's Invincible Club, a Democratic organization to which Onahan has referred in his letters to the Freeman's Journal. Before they could find out from Sam Medary of the Crisis, just where McMaster was, they heard that he had already started for New York. They still would like to have him in Chicago, and if McMaster would like to travel this way again, he would find many...

Scope and Contents He was glad to receive McMaster's letter of Oct. 13 and to know that he plans a visit to Chicago. He encloses a duplicate copy of the draft sent last May, the original, as McMaster rightly guessed, not having been paid. He suggests that McMaster's first lecture in Chicago be for his Irish Catholic friends, for which his lecture on Columbus would serve. He lists the neighboring towns of Ottawa, LaSalle, Davenport, Peoria, and Springfield to which McMaster can go during the week,...

Scope and Contents

On this date for the first time, Onahan was informed in the Journal of the death of Mrs. McMaster. Words fail him to solace McMaster's grief. However, he is having the Jesuit Fathers offer a solemn Requiem Mass for the repose of her soul. As an old friend, this much is due McMaster. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Onahan calls attention to the project of a Congress or meeting of Catholic laymen of the United States to be held in Baltimore, November 4th and 5th, on the occasion of the centenary of the Catholic Hierchy. The latter event will be celebrated under the auspices of His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons and will undoubtedly be an occasion of special interest to Catholics of this country. It is believed that a meeting of Catholic laymen would be most opportune and fitting to demonstrate the...

He wants Hudson to make him a visit when he comes up. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. royal 8 vo.

Scope and Contents

Onahan vouches for a girl writer who he believe has considerable talent. She has contributed articles for the "Catholic World". She now has a story which Gallwey agrees to publish next year at the conclusion of the one now running in the Catholic World. This is too remote for her needs. Would Hudson look at it for the Ave Maria. :: X-2-l A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents

Onahan sends a package of manuscripts which is a translation made by his daughter of an address by Abbe Winterer on the "Social Question" before the Catholic Congress at Liege last year. He thinks it important enough to be printed in pamphlet form. :: X-3-g A.L.S. 1p. 4to.

Onahan sends an article for the Ave Maria. If Hudson can not use it he may turn it over to Father John O'Connell for publication in the Scholastic.

Scope and Contents

Onahan suggests that when the papers to be read have been agreed upon, Brownson then print the list of subjects and authors on cards or slips, these to be sent to parties who would be likely to engage in the discussions. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents

Onahan notices that the Notre Dame Scholastic advertises 20 volumes of Brownson's Works and therefore asks that the Index, which he supposses is now published, be sent to him. He is interested in Brownson's concise and conclusive letter published in the Michigan Catholic on the George-Father Edward Mc Glynn theories, and also appreciates the work which Judge Hyde is doing steadily for the vindication of Catholic principles. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Onahan has already written to Archbishop John Ireland and to Bishop John L. Spaulding requesting their views and counsel on the project of the propose Congress, and no doubt will hear from them soon. He will write to Archbishop Patrick W. Riordan without delay. Brownson's program is all right. He thinks that they can get Henry J. Spaunhorst of St. Louis interested. He is a capital organizer; Onahan knows him well and perhaps will see him in St. Louis next week. He knows Peter L. Foy also....

Scope and Contents

Onahan is glad to see that Archbishop William H. Gross expresses himself so warmly in favor of the Congress and thinks his letter should be submitted to James Cardinal Gibbons. There is certainly time enough to work up the project, and Onahan trusts His Eminence will yet be persuaded to give his endorsement and approval to the meeting. No word so far from either Archbishops John Ireland or Patrick W. Riordan. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Onahan has taken leave to inclose Bishop Camil-lus P. Maes' letter to Archbishop John Ireland and has urged him to write to James Cardinal Gibbons to try to reconcile matters, so that the assent of his Eminence may be given to the project for the time proposed. Onahan sees no difficulty on the score of time and would much prefer to organize such an affair in a few months, rather than years. He has also writ-ten to Henry J. Spaunhorst, and heartily concurs in what Bishop Maes says of him. He...

Scope and Contents

Onahan returns the letter of James Cardinal Gibbons, and is still of the opinion that there is plenty of time to organize such a meeting and that it would be a pity to let the opportunity pass. But if, after full consideration of all the conditions, his Eminence still considers the project inexpedient or immature, of course they can go no farther in the matter. He has not yet heard from Archbishops John Ireland or Patrick W. Riordan. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Onahan learns that Bishop James A. Healy passed through Chicago yesterday on his way from the Pacific Coast, and this will explain his silence. He expects to hear from Henry J. Spaunhorst in a day or two and will send Brownson his letter. He suspects Archbishop John Ireland is in correspondence with James Cardinal Gibbons as to the meeting and is sure the former will be warmly in favor of the meeting, since he stands always for progress and freedom. After he has been heard from, then...

Scope and Contents The letters Onahan sent Brownson yesterday from James Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop John Ireland remove all difficulties. It now remains only to arrange the necessary preliminaries and to submit plans to His Eminence or to Archbishop Ireland. He expects to meet Bishop John L. Spaulding to talk with him on the subject, and he should be one of the active movers in the Congress. Archbishop Ireland will be here very soon and perhaps a conference could be arranged. Onahan's position engages all...

Scope and Contents

Archbishop John Ireland will be in Chicago the morning of the 14th and will give the entire day to a conference on the proposed Congress. If Brownson can attend, he should come to the Grand Pacific Hotel, where the Archbishop will stop. Onahan will invite Henry J. Spaunhorst and General Lawler, and asks Brownson to have the program outlined in advance, as he can little towards it. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
