In settling the affairs of the C(atholic) P(ublications) S(ociety) Company, the receiver will notify Seton that his plates await his order. A change of jurisdiction will be necessary. Inclosed is a list of books formerly published by C.P.S. but now issued by Catholic School Book Company. They thank Seton for announcement of the "annual." By order of Bishop (Francis Silas) Chatard, they sent Seton a copy of his "Essays."

Scope and Contents

The reason Seton's letter was not answered is that Kehoe was awaiting further developments in regard to the C(atholic) P(ublications) S(ociety) dissolution. They will be pleased to take charge of Seton's plates; the accounting will be official if the Receiver gives it on direct application from Seton. Kehoe has had cut of Bishop Leslie made and is returning Seton's book by mail.

Scope and Contents

The Annual will come from the bindery on Monday. They cannot race with Benziger for early publication as they might push each other back to August. Last year they spent more money than usual on the annual and the sale was the lowest of any year. Priests and people seem to want an almanac of lighter character such as Benziger's.

Scope and Contents

In a bindery there are 500 essays in sheets. The receiver of C(atholic) P(ublications) S(ociety) has given an order to turn them over to the (Catholic School Book Company) for Seton. Kehoe would like to know if Seton was charged for the whole edition bound. If so, the C.P.S. should refund the cost of binding these 500. (P.S.) After the C.P.S. affairs have been wound up, Seton could not make a claim.

Scope and Contents

Of course he charges a good price for those rare books. Why should he not? He might wait for years and not get another copy. He charges a little for his knowledge. No other one in Catholic book business knows anything about them.

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents They have not settled with the insurance company yet and can do no business until they have settled. He informs Hudson that to copyright articles in the Ave Maria he must send 2 copies of every number to Washington. The copyright will not cover English articles. If the book is published in England it may be reprinted here. A translation of an American citizen can be copyrighted. A copyright is like real estate. In order for Hudson to hold a copyright it must be given to him by a citizen...

Scope and Contents

Kehoe will take a page of advertisement for one year. Benziger's list is a humbug. A copy of "Albert the Great" cost them $2.25, Benziger sells it for $1.80. Kehoe got it for Hudson. "Legend and the Blessed Sacrament" Benziger has at $1.60. Copies of "Chapel of St. John", "Meditations On the Rosary" and "Cistercisan Fathers" Benziger does not have. :: X-3-g A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Scope and Contents

He just mailed Hudson the manuscript of a prayer book. The prayer book business is monopolized; books are made for size, not quality, so he gave up the idea of getting out a book. Hudson should look at the volume of Tracts he sent. :: X-2-g A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Bishop John Lancaster Spalding is responsible for the omission in his book, since not Kehoe but Spalding read the proof. The Catholic Publication Society Company is neither unfriendly to Notre Dame, nor is its attitude influenced by trade with the University. Kehoe can not see that the C.P.S.C. has been discourteous to Notre Dame. The Paulists own the Catholic World, but not the Society; they never get a dollar from the Society and the Paulists pay for matter published by the Society...

Scope and Contents

He asked Father Isaac T. Hecker about that affair. Hecker wrote to Father Edward J. Sorin, C.S.C. long ago about it. It is his affair and he is ready to answer for all he has said or done. He himself has nothing to do with it and has no more to say. :: X-2-i A.L.S. 1 p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents

The enclosed notice is a lie. The Dutchmen are carrying things too far, they dare not correct the "General Catechism of Christian Doctrine". All corrections pass through Kehoe's hands. :: X-3-b A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
