Scope and Contents Ivers finds it necessary to have some understanding with his cooperator about sick calls. The rule he always followed was to answer calls in turn every other week. He proposed this to Father P. Conway but he objects to it. Mullen of course has nothing to do with it. Ivers has not dined once out of this house since to removed to it. He gets his board from next door, Mr. St. John 's; the servant brings it in at half past three. He breakfasts at the Asylum. P.S. If Conway got his board next...

Scope and Contents Blanc is to direct Brother Joseph and those at the presbytery of St. Patrick to hand over everything that belongs to Ivers to the bearer, Brother Vincent . The Society is disposed to do all they can for Ivers but it is worse than death to trouble them as he brought no property whatsoever. There are three establishments in this locality, noviciate, convent, and college with the lake in the center. Blanc is to speak to Father Edward D'Hauw who has written to the priest who was in St. Patrick's...

She asks McMaster for the number of the Journal containing information of the pilgrimage. During her travels she missed reading the Journal and is ignorant on a subject which interests her very much, as she hopes to join the pilgrimage. She would like to have the name and address of the lady spoken of in this matter. She apologizes for troubling McMaster and asks that her regards are presented to his family. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents She received McMaster's letter and package of papers for which she is grateful. Like Miss Stephanie Raphel, she would rather join the group of pilgrims, but since the Committee was so late in announcing its decision to allow women to accompany the group, she will probably have to go with Mrs. Sarah Peter's group . Her 17 year old son will accompany her. The latter's plan is excellent and she shall communicate with Mrs. Peter. Some women who would have made arrangements earlier now feel...

Scope and Contents She wrote to her sister, Mrs. Fitz-Gerald, to see McMaster about engaging a deck state room on the Periere. Since she intends to stay abroad a year there will be a difference in the amount to be paid to the Committee and she thought it best that the matter be handled by her sister. She may again change her mind when she sees the circular, as some of her friends have been dissatisfied with the Periere. No one seems to be personally responsible for the care and comfort of the Pilgrims,...

Scope and Contents She encloses six dollars, the subscription money for Mr. Payne and herself. Her tardiness is due to sickness and absence from home. She sent all the bills to the subscribers, and if they have not settled, it must be from some good reason. Col. Mosby has had ill children, one supposed to be dying, but she will remind him that his subscription is due. She fears that she cannot add to the subscription list as most of her friends feel that they should support their Town, State, and Church...

Scope and Contents Since the students of Fldkirch College are not allowed to receive any newspapers, he asks that the Journal be sent to his address rather than to that of his son's. He leaves here early in October to spend the winter in Brussels so he wishes it to be sent to him there, in care of the American counsul. Although she is happy in that Catholic country, she still takes an interest in the affairs at home and especially those of her religion. She comment's upon the Feast of the Blessed Virgin's...

Ives thanks Hudson for the periodicals he sent. Ives has been busy moving which accounts for the delay in writing.

Scope and Contents She thanks Hudson for the review of Miss Minnie Gilmore's volume of poems. She had asked her to send Hudson a copy of her volume, "Pipes From Praire-Land".

Scope and Contents Izard wrote yesterday in haste to take advantage of St. Aubin's leaving. Izard talked to his sister-in-law and brothers-in-law; all said they could not accept the conditions in Mesnard's letter. Izard has almost given his word to Jamey who offers $5000 for the house and all the other buildings and 5 arpents of land. When Izard was at Lafourche, he talked on this subject; Troné? said the property was too far from Thibodauxville. The only way for Mesnard to buy the property is to pay $1125...

He received Mesnard's letter of the 12th. The propositions about the land are unacceptable; Mesnard asks 4 years of credit and wants to give only $4000 while Father Victor Jamey offers $5000. Mesnard can have it for $4500 at 4 years. Bishop Blanc, to whom Izard talked through St. Aubin, will give it and Izard's sister-in-law as well as his brothers-in-law will sell under those conditions.

Scope and Contents Sister M. Rita said nothing would please her better than to write to Edwards, but she is afraid to ask permission.

Today he received the letter of Purcell with the news of Bishop Ignatus Mrak's appointment. He hopes he will accept and make no delay in taking possession of his see. Jacker will be unable to attend the consecration because of difficulty and expense of travelling in winter. He cannot leave his missions unattended. The 1868 allocation of 1,600 francs arrived from Paris but not the balance for 1867. He fears that the draft was sent and went into the wrong hands. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents In conformity with Purcell's letter Jacker says that he will return the next day to the Diocese of Marquette, the condition of which is not as bad as depicted by Father Honoratus Bourion . The removal of two or three priests including Bourion himself would remedy matters, but since they have given no great scandal, and since there is no prospect for relief in the person of disinterested missionaries, he will have to leave things in existing conditions, with one exception. The changes he made...

Scope and Contents Jacker answered Purcell's letter of the 17th by telegraph, calling Purcell's attention to the fact that the particulars he asked for can be found in the Catholic Telegraph and the Wahrheitsfround of 1853. These contain a correct sketch of the departed prelate's Bishop Frederic Baraga life. Jacker also sent a dispatch last Monday containing the news of the Bishop's death. He has received only one answer to all the invitations to Bishops. That is from Milwaukee and the Bishop John Martin Henni...

On Easter Monday their chapel in St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum burying ground will be dedicated. This change in the mind of Father Maximus Leimgruber, C.SS.R. they cannot account for because it has occurred so suddenly.
