Seton's letter containing the Ex Libris was received. They rented their house and went abroad for a year and he fears he lost many valuable communications from friends.

Scope and Contents

The mail which brought Seton's letter of May 3 brought proofs of his paper concerning the scandal(?) about Queen Elizabeth. The only note in his edition of Lingard is in Volume 8 relating to one Arthur Dudley who claimed to be the son of Elizabeth and Leicester.

Scope and Contents He thanks Hudson for the "Scholastic Annual". He would like to receive something about the peculiar claims of the Congregation of Holy Cross, its history, constitution, rules.

Scope and Contents Noticing in the Catholic Exchange that the first volume of Brownson's Works is published, Hyde offers to review the volume if it is sent to him. He has already considered in his paper The Catholic Chronicle, Henry's plan of publication and has been a reader of Brownson since 1854.

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents Hyde sends the books he spoke of when he saw Edwards at Notre Dame. He felt much mortified at writing Edwards, asking to be remembered to Professor Joseph A. Lyons, learning the next day from the Freeman's Journal that he was in his grave. Hyde hopes he will die as well prepared as Lyons. He supposes that Maurice Francis Egan is already at Notre Dame and sends his respects, if he is. He is glad he is not associated with the Fords. He sends his regards to all his Notre Dame friends. He had a...

Scope and Contents Hyde apologizes for writing to Onahan about the Congress, now that it's over. He sends an editorial from the Detroit Evening News of Nov. 13, which he asks Onahan to read. Hyde wonders where Dee got the impression that Judge Dunne's paper was repudiated by the Congress, since Hyde points out that it was acclaimed. Dee's allusion to the resolution on the Papacy has some justification. Hyde wonders what happened to the Committee on Resolutions when they came to consider independence of...

Scope and Contents Hughes had informed Hyde that Onahan had departed for Baltimore, where he would stay at the Renner Hotel, consequently the letter is addressed there. Hyde will not go to Baltimore, due to incidents which he will some day tell Onahan in person. The proprietor and co-'editor' of the Michigan Catholic are a target of personal feeling from Hyde. Hyde has been occupied due to the expected "Souvenir Volume." He has had time only to deal with resolution on the Independance of the Pope. He...

Scope and Contents Hyde thanks Onahan for the invitation to the Catholic Congress. He would not give it for much money, which is the American criterion of value. In last week's Michigan Catholic was a brief report on the meeting of the Advisory Committee last Wednesday. Bishops John S. Foley, Camillus P. Mais, Richard Gilmour and Matthew Harkins were there, as well as Henry F. Brownson and Harson . Daniel Rudd was there for a moment, as was M. W. O'Brien . Hyde was not there, learning the details later....

Scope and Contents Onahan is his great source of information. Hyde, being unable to attend the meeting at St. Louis, asks Onahan to supply the facts; he is able to gain little definite information from Hughes. He would like to be correctly informed on what was done about the Catholic Congress—not for use of the Michigan Catholic, but for himself. Hyde prides himself as being the first in the United States to have furnished the Vatican and the American College in Rome with the announcement of the first...

Scope and Contents Since this week's edition of the Michigan Catholic will present one of Hyde's editorials in a spoiled condition, Hyde sends several copies of proof sheets of it. Since Mr. Hughes is now in Chicago, Hyde supposes that Onahan would have been shown a proof before now. Onahan will see the purpose of the editorial; it was intended to drive at Henry F. Brownson and his kind. The double heading was Hughes' suggestion, even though Brownson is his associate on the 'Souvenir.' Hyde will try...
