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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

Onahan has sent Kehoe a circular about the proposed meeting of Catholic laymen, and tells him that he is chosen a member of the committee to meet in Detroit June 5th, and that he is to communicate with Brownson.

Keiley suggests that McMaster obtain the aid of Bishop Thomas A. Becker, of Wilmington, Delaware. Bishop Becker has already expressed his surprise that the Freeman's Journal should be classed with the World Watchman. Becker will aid McMaster in anything he sends to Rome. The Pastoral of Baltes is injudicious and scandalous and each priest...
