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 . He again urges Bishop Lefevere to answer since he has need of money and has already waited with patience and for a long time. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

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...

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

He thanks Edwards for the kind remembrance. He enjoyed his visit to Notre Dame. :: XI-1-d A.L.S. 1p 12mo

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...

Scope and Contents Campbell will send circulars to Onahan. Onahan in turn, is to communicate with the Bishops. He leaves it to Onahan to devise the best method to reach his Church in other countries, in support of this measure of arbitration in international disputes. If Onahan thinks it best to have Catholic Clergy formally associated with him as members of this corresponding Committee, he should inform Campbell, who will name such a person as Onahan proposes for appointment by Campbell's Executive Committee....

Scope and Contents Referring to previously sent circulars pertaining to the petition on behalf of arbitration, Campbell wishes to know the number of bodies of the Catholic Church in the world, before which Onahan would propose to lay the petition for adoption, since the translating committee would like to know the number of "sets" to prepare. The Committees of correspondence of Protestant Churches often ask, what will be the attitude of the Catholic Church in regard to this petition. Onahan is asked to give...

Scope and Contents

Onahan's suggestion of Campbell sending copies of the Petition to each of the Archbishops in the United States is all right, but since Onahan is the Representative of the (Catholic) Church, he is the proper channel of communication. Campbell will mail circulars and a Petition. The proper form for official signature has not yet been issued. Onahan is asked to communicate with Cardinal Gibbons and the Archbishops. Campbell apologizes for the error in regard to Onahan's name.

Scope and Contents

Enclosed is a notice of the proposed conference in Chicago with reference to the petition in behalf of arbitration. Campbell hopes Onahan will attend. Did the petition meet with the Archbishop's favor? Campbell desires to secure the influence of the (Catholic) Church, as well as prominent men in behalf of this movement. He sends the petition as prepared for signature, addressed to the heads of 31 governments in their respective languages. (No enclosure.)

Scope and Contents

In another package are mailed three sets of the petition in various languages, and some copies of the accompanying address, like the one enclosed in the letter.

Scope and Contents The enclosed circulars will explain the matter of the letter. Of the Executive Committee, whose names are given in one of these circulars, Col. C. O'B. Cowardin is of the Catholic Church. A conference which the latter had with Cardinal (James) Gibbons led to Onahan's being designated to act for his Church in this matter. Campbell asks how many copies of the petitions he will need to lay before ecclesiastical bodies of his Church. They are now being prepared in proper form, and properly...
