Italian 3pp. 16mo.

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents Jean Baptiste Bernatché and Anastasie Boulanger of the Québec diocese, not being able to get a dispensation for second degree affinity, went to the United States last May. They exhibited a certificate of marriage of which Taschereau sends a copy no enclosure. Taschereau has no doubt about the invalidity of the marriage because of the affinity and the lack of consent of the curé of the place, but he does not wish to publish the scandal without some clarification. He asks McFarland to ask...

Taylor sends $1 as an aid to the Indian Missions and claims that anyone who refuses the appeal is no friend of the Indians. The exterminators of the Indians are those who give them false teachers when they ask for true catholic teachers. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Father Taylor sends a communication which he hopes McMaster will think worth inserting. He is building a new church, and his means are so small that he cannot afford to subscribe either to the Journal or to any other paper, except those sent through the kindness of the Editors. He has written several times for the Freeman's Journal and would do so more often, but there is little church news at Dover. He would be glad if McMaster would send a copy of the paper in which the notice is...

Scope and Contents Taylor expected that Lefevere would call at Taylor's office, as requested, to investigate Father Remigius Vanderheyden 's accusations about Taylor. He and others feel that Archbishop John Baptist Purcell of Cincinnati will extend justice as well as an investigation. As to money matters, Taylor wants back his school gift of $25, the commissions of $50, two-thirds of which is his partner's, one-third Taylor's. There is $1000 raised by the ladies for furnishing the Sisters' house; this money is...

Scope and Contents The contract for the new church in Saginaw City, Michigan has been let to the firm of Miller and Norton who have given security of $100,000 to complete the building by September 15th, at which time he hopes to have the pleasure of the company of Lefevere and Fathers Jacobs and Geson?. Last Sunday at East Saginaw $1135 was raised for the school. The Committee has authorized negotiations for the building and ground in rear of said church. Lefevere is asked to procure four Sisters of Charity to...

Scope and Contents Necessity compels Taylor to lay the school matter before Lefevere. Two weeks ago a committee was formed to raise money and purchase the house and lot in the rear of the church. $1100 was subscribed. The Committee authorized Taylor to buy the property at $1450. Yesterday at another meeting Father Remigius Van Der Heyden became mad and acted unbecoming as a pastor, saying that the church and school could not be built at the same time notwithstanding they raised in cash all but $226. Taylor...

Scope and Contents

According to his letter of the 27th, Lefevere interprets Taylor's letter of June 26 as a threat. A threat was not meant, but he was excited at the time. He will complete the object on July 6 or at least make a half payment, and will strive to have the school ready by the 1st to 15th of September. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 1p. 4to.

He cannot work with Father Remigius Van Der Heyden since he will not speak to Taylor after learning Taylor had written Lefevere.

A great number of tickets at $100 each has been sold to furnish the Sisters' house. ::...

Scope and Contents Taylor for some days has been trying to come to see Lefevere upon, important business. There is money given for the school; there is now, no prospect of even starting the school. Father Remigius Van Der, Heyden intends to make a priest's house of the building. Some are, threatening to sue him for money given under false pretense. Taylor, invites Lefevere to visit East Saginaw and see for himself the awful, conditions. Many refuse to go to Mass, and the Protestants are aware, of the trouble....

Scope and Contents Taylor has sent McMaster $3.00 for the Freeman's Journal, and $1.50 for the Indian Missions. He asks McMaster to publish the contribution plus another dollar. There seems to be indifference and apathy among the people there towards the Indian Missions. The enemies of the Church decoy the simple and half instructed into their errors of free thinking. Their particular prey are the compromising and liberal Catholics. One scheme widely used is to found fake patriotic societies, which are...

Scope and Contents She thanks Hudson for his letter. She and Lady Georgiana Fullerton are happy to accept Hudson's offer. The corrected proof is enclosed and she hopes to send part of a story which she intends to finish by the end of July with this letter also. She is ashamed to say that the biography is not completed. This is because of her innate tendency to verify the truth of every statement she writes. Since the Ave Maria's leading story is entitled "Aunt Winifred" she gives Hudson permission to...

Scope and Contents She apologizes for not having sent anything for the Ave Maria for some time. She includes a letter for publication written by Lady Georgiana Fullerton, a virtuous woman who founded their religious congregation. They are going to raffle a book of autographs in America. Hudson is to print the tickets. He may decide the date of the raffle if the one chosen is not satisfactory, and establish the price of each ticket.

Scope and Contents She is sorry Hudson is re-publishing her "Pearl On Dark Waters" as she always meant to re-publish it with improvement. She planned to follow some of her characters into France and bring in more about Margaret Mary. If Hudson does not want "Feast of Illness" which was sent six weeks ago she wants it back. She has been in poor health for years and now she has recovered and can use the little talent she has for the good of the community, and she felt the Ave Maria had the first claim on...

Scope and Contents She thanks Hudson for the draft he sent her a short time ago. She has an article entitled "Meditations for the Young ?" and it is to appear in monthly parts. She wants to secure the copyright in America. She is sending Hudson 100 copies with space to print the publisher's name and she hopes Hudson will put the Ave Maria Press on it, or some other Catholic publisher's name. She is sending a proof so Hudson will know what is coming. The proof is not revised by the Jesuit Father who is...

Scope and Contents She sends Hudson the review of a book that she wishes to see spread in all English speaking countries and begs him to insert it in the Ave Maria. She relies on Hudson's goodness and the fact that she is an aged member of the staff of the Ave that he will not refuse her. She hopes soon to send him some French topics and stories. Is it convenient for him to send her the sum she may have earned? She hopes everyone loves the Ave as she does. Hudson will have a great reward for editing it...

Scope and Contents She sends a story for the Children's section of the Ave Maria and promises to send several more, some of which are entirely the result of her own efforts and two or three taken from an old book, only being revised and introduced into a Catholic setting by her.
