Campau has not received an answer to his letter of January 20 1843 which included the total amount of the principal and interest concerning Campau's claim on the land near the North East Shore which they have acquired from Mr. Francis Paul Malcher .

Scope and Contents Campaux addresses Lefevere as an old and fast friend, and his former spiritual guide. While in Detroit in December on business about his Father's estate, Campaux learned from his mother that Lefevere had said that he and some of his brothers were spendthrifts, squandering the revenue from his Father's estate, and that it was impossible that Campaux could remain sick so long. Had his means been greater he would have recompensed Lefevere long ago for all his favors; he shall still do so if...

Scope and Contents Campaux acknowledges receipt of Lefevere's letter assuring Campaux that Lefevere never stated or reported anything derogatory of Campaux's or his brother's character, as Campaux claimed in his letter of the 29th ult. And the case is closed. Campaux hopes an opportunity to show gratitude for Lefevere's many kindnesses may soon arise. He requests Lefevere not to reveal to Campaux's mother what has transpired between them. His bad health has caused him to give up business and be of no...

Scope and Contents Bayley's letter was forwarded to Baltimore, where Campbell now resides. Campbell has not yet read the copy of Bayley's history, but promises himself great pleasure in the perusal.

White proposes to commence the history of Catholicity from colonial times to the Revolution. Since he began this letter, Campbell has read some...

Scope and Contents Sister Stanislaus writes from the Convent of the Visitation to ask McMaster to publish the enclosed book notice in the Freeman's Journal.

She gives her thanks for the lines of recommendation and hopes that the rates for the advertisement will be reasonable. The printed enclosure marks Dec....

Scope and Contents He owes an apology for not answering Hughes' letter about his paper on temperance. Because he was so overwhelmed with business he could not write the paper before November 10, and he had it set up in type and did not get a copy until November 12; he tried to find Hughes but failed. His law business takes so much time, that he has to literally steal time to edit the C.T.A. News or do any temperance work. He refuses to furnish his picture—he has never furnished it for publication. :: III-3-d...

Campion sends $2.00—$1.00 for a four-month's subscription, the other for the defense of Mount Carmel.

Scope and Contents Campion encloses $1.00 for a four month's subscription. He adds a letter, signed "J.C.", evidently intended as a letter to the editor. Campion requests that McMaster honor Christmas day by not publishing a paper on December 25, but on Christmas Eve instead. He thinks liberal Catholics may object, but they are non-entities, and are "worse than the Communists who flung fire about Paris". Everything possible must be done in order to destroy the many invasions of Paganism into our Christian...

Miss Canedo has worked all night to write what she is sending and her hand trembles. She has another translation almost ready.

Miss Canedo hopes that Mother Angela explained the reason of delay in sending the translations. She sends a penciled copy of the sketch of Father de Noue's labors and death in the missions of New France, North America. It is the hardest translation Miss Canedo has ever done as the French of 250 years ago used obsolete words. At first she was going to give up but asked Our Lady to aid her in writing of a saint and a martyr. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4 pp. 8vo

Scope and Contents Hudson's note received and Miss Canedo is glad the translation is satisfactory. She quotes Mother Angela in saying that Hudson would pay $1.50 for each page of work of the quality Miss Canedo produces. She is now engaged on the life of Father Pere Ennemond Masse and the next will be the record of Father Jogues' labors and martyrdom. She offers sympathy in the sorrow of Hudson at his father's death. Last March her father, a non-Catholic, died. She asks Hudson if they may pray for the...

Scope and Contents Miss Canedo asks Hudson to believe that he is not being flooded with letters from her. She does not want Hudson to consider the value of her articles by columns or pages, but wants its value considered as a whole. The article just sent to Hudson should be worth $10 and later a much longer one may be worth only half as much. Whatever Hudson decides for value is satisfactory. Miss Canedo would like an hour's conversation with Hudson about literary matters. Mother Angela and she formed...

Miss Canedo asks Hudson to send her by next mail whatever her translation is worth. She is very poor and works late at night as Mother Angela knows.

Hudson would understand if he knew her life and struggle. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Hudson's $5 remittance received and Miss Canedo is very grateful as she can now purchase something for her mother to benefit her health. She is glad to find out that her prayers are of service to her father. She will pray for Hudson's father daily now that she has found out. She offers her rosary daily, and has for 20 years, for Mother Angela. Miss Canedo will say any prayer preferred by Hudson. She has had little devotion to St. Joseph but has a fervent devotion to the Holy Ghost. Her...
