Scope and Contents

Father Oechtering has meant for some time to subscribe for the works of Brownson, and just now having been reminded by his friend Father Daniel E. Hudson asks Henry to send him the set, one each month. For many years, serving in poor parishes, he was unable to read Brownson, whom he greatly admires. In the next conference meeting he will bring the matter of subscriptions to the series before the reverend fathers. He congratulates Henry in his undertaking. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents

Oechtering was painfully surprised to read the calumnious story about the "Christian Heroine" in the Ave Maria, which was invented and published in French by that cowardly party; called the party of revenge who fan the flames of hatred against victorious Germany. :: X-3-e A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Oechtering previously sent McMaster the annual school report and asked him to publish it, but he has not seen it in print as yet. He concludes that it must not have reached the paper or must have been misplaced in favor of more urgent news. He asks him again that the enclosed lines not present be published since the report has created quite an interest in schools both within and outside of the diocese. It will encourage many priests who despair of having schools in their small...

Scope and Contents Oechtering, pastor of St. Joseph's Church of La Porte, is concerned with occasional remarks made about the morals of Father Hill, by an author unknown to him. In addition, he has been astonished to note that the excellent Freeman's Journal has published two statements which are unqualified and open expressions of the condemned error of traditionalism. The Vatican Council has defined that human reason, without the aid of revelation, can acquire the knowledge of God, but this dogma...

Scope and Contents

Because of the charity Hudson displayed to Father T M. Schiffmacher 's poor Missions of Red Oak, Iowa, he is encouraged to ask a similar charity in his own misfortunes. He lives in a poor mission and almost all ever done there was by moneys gotten from outside. Last Saturday a cyclone struck the little town and destroyed the church and pastoral residence.

Scope and Contents The cause for the delay in answering his letter was due to her sister's illness. She asks Hudson to pray for her, and to recommend her to the prayers of the Confraternity of our Lady of the Sacred Heart. She thinks it presumptuous of her to think that she could write columns as good as those in the Ave Maria, but she did not become discouraged when Hudson told her that he had no room. Her taste is for little historical sketches. She sends a sample of her work so that Hudson might tell...

Scope and Contents

O'Flanagan was ordained priest on December 22. He has been at Louvain upwards of four years. Since he has been ordained for Lefevere's diocese O'Flanagan asks that he may have a vacation as there are some among his family whom he shall never have another opportunity of seeing after he leaves. A.L.S.

Scope and Contents

O'Flynn can keep his promise to Lefevere to give lessons to the gentlemen Lefevere mentioned the other day. Professional men to succeed, must be familiar with their text books, especially with a man who has just launched his barques. O'Flynn recommends J.A. Girardin as a good substitute, as he speaks French fluently. His office is next to the Wayne County Court House. ` A.L.S. 3pp. ` Enclosure:

Scope and Contents He understands that it is the bishop's earnest wish to have the Sisters of the Good Shepherd locate here; the only obstacle is the want of a house. O'Flynn can supply this want upon reasonable and just terms. Mrs. John Watson's house on Fort Street is quite suitable; he will rent the premises for a term of years to the Sisters for seven per cent on their cash value to be designated in the lease and will give them the privilege of buying at the expiration of the lease, or at any time before....

Scope and Contents

Father Isaac Thomas Hecker's C.S.P. lecture will take place at 8 P.M. Friday in Young Men's Hall, Admission 30 cents. O'Flynn is making every effort to pack the hall and requests Lefevere to announce the lecture in the cathedral and other churches. Every Catholic ought to attend since Martin Luther is to be skinned by a Catholic priest not simply on the invitation of a Protestant Society but at the expense of that society. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

O"Flynn received yesterday Madame Hardy's approval of the arrangements he made with Lefevere in regard to the Elmwood Property. The power of attorney to execute the deed will be here in a few days when he will finish up the matter. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Ogden encloses an O(gden) and (C. Stacy) C(lark) check for $200 as the dividend to each of the six interested in the "Estate of Emily (Prime) Seton." The money is not wholly derived from the one's interest in the $75,000 Seton holds on his late property, Cragdon but is also derived from the rent of the building 67 Tenth Street and the water right rent. They have not received any of the interest paid the Trust Company but they hope Seton will give them power to collect. Cragdon was sold...

Scope and Contents He cannot send a full reply to Seton's letter; he will make inquiries of his sister Mary and of Mrs. Barr. He has met the Marquise de Talleyrand (-Perigord); she has since obtained a divorce from her husband and he married Mrs. Frederick Stevens n ee Sampson. The Marquise was a Custis or Giles and related through the Hoffmans. Ogden is not related in any way to her. William Seton Gordon has a good Ogden tree made by Henry Vining Ogden of New Orleans. The one Ogden gives Seton was made by the...

Scope and Contents He thanks Seton for the mortuary card of his late aunt. He suggest that a card be sent to Cousin Fanny Potter. He hopes Seton does not think he treated him coldly. He left the chapel in procession after the Sisters and walked out with Alfred Seton, Jr. and then into a room where Isabel, Daisy and Reverend Post were. Then he hunted up Lizzie and Nellie. He doubts if anyone will miss Mother Catherine Seton more than he will. Her parting with the Jevons was sublime. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. ...

Scope and Contents He read with delight an account in the Tribune of Seton's sermon against the "rum power." It would be a magnificent spectacle if all Catholic priests would begin a crusade against the rum power in every State of the Union. The priest at Ogden is with Seton in spirit. Ogden had a party in yesterday who wanted a refusal of Cragdon at $100,000 for six weeks. It would not do to five one for less than $2,000. He has a letter from Isabel Seton Jevons in which she said they would be home ...

Scope and Contents Ogden has received a note from Virginia Seton Hoffman, daughter of the late Ogden Hoffman, requesting him to ask (Seton) to send any book of the Setons he knows of to some place in France; Ogden cannot read the name, but care of Merten R. & C., London. (Seton) once prepared and circulated in the family a little book, "Seton of Parbroath." If Virginia had this book and a copy of the tree back to Edward III, she would be content. She says the book is really for Sallie Morris and Ella de...

Scope and Contents He received Seton's letter of April 22. He may be mistaken as to the year Alfred Seton, his mother's brother, died. He had a daughter Evretta Seton who married Waldron B. Post, who died leaving two girls and one boy. Sarah Post married a Mr. Morris and has lived in Europe for many years as has her sister, also married, but Ogden does not know the name. Ogden knew Mrs. Morris well. (Thomas) Jevons thinks that all six heirs should sign a note as enclosed to the Farmers Loan and Trust Company....

Scope and Contents Ogden received with delight Seton's letter of Aug. 1. It came by a slow steamer. He wrote to Mr. Ray at New port afterwards. As Ray had received Seton's letter, he sent Ogden some money, promising whatever more Ogden needed. Ogden found the best peach brandy at Mr. Corwin's in Broad Way. It has been boxed, ready for shipment, for a fortnight. He will put it in the charge of the Master of a Liverpool or London ship, who will pay the duties, freight, etc. The bottles of Bay rum and the ...

Scope and Contents He received Seton's letter and one from Seton's son which notifies him of the shipment of two books which he is to take care to send to the Farmhouse by Seton's man Patrick. Ogden doesn't know how he can notify Seton's son when they arrive. They should be accompanied by a bill of lading to him and an affidavit from Seton that they are old books. In the affidavit he should state the marks of the boxes otherwise the boxes will be opened and a duty placed on each foreigh book. The...
