He will make out an accurate bill of costs to accompany the plans for McCloskey's information. Keely is making all necessary arrangements in regard to the pinnacles and battlements.

Next Monday would be a good time. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 1p. 8vo. CANY I-1-i Keely, Patrick C., Albany, New York, to Bishop John McCloskey, Albany, New York 1850 Aug. 24 Keely informs McCloskey that it would not be prudent to enclose the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Albany, New York without all the battlements completely finished. All the stone work must be finished this fall with the exception of the towers and pinnacles. Keely ordered the stone and has the men working on it without McCloskey's consent, but he could not do otherwise. Although it will cost $2,000 more this year, it would have cost 20 per cent more next year beside injury to the slating. :: I-1-i A.L.S. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 1p. 8vo. CANY I-1-i Keely, Patrick C., Brooklyn, New York, to Bishop John McCloskey, Albany, New York 1851 Feb. 15 Keely sends the specifications for the glass of the windows in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Albany, New York . The glass is to be superior to any yet up in this country. Keely prefers the architectural glass. Morgan is the lowest glass stainer and the sooner McCloskey gives orders to commence the better it will be. Keely will make as close a bargain as he can depend. By McCloskey sending a letter to Morgan he will commence. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 2pp. 4to. CANY I-1-i Morgan, George, New York, New York, to Bishop John McCloskey, Albany, New York 1851 Feb. 15 Morgan proposes and agrees to furnish all the stained glass and sashes for the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Albany, New York according to the specifications for the sum of $3,460, according to terms described by Morgan.

She accompanied her son as far as Natchez and was with him when he received Blanc's gift and letter. She has received two letters from Walter Fowler? since his arrival at West Point. He has met with some difficulty in being admitted. His extreme youth disqualifies him in the undertaking of keeping up with the older cadets. Fowler's father has again been very ill. He is now well and on a visit to Belle Alliance with the intention of bringing back his granddaughter, Elisa Trudeau who had gone there to avoid the measles because of her infant. Fowler's sisters and their children are now well. Aurore Morgan ? and Mary Morgan were taken out of the convent a week ago with measles; they will soon return to school. Fowler's son Eugene Fowler , who was so ill with measles, has returned to college. Her Aunt Wikoff is with them. :: I-1-f A.L.S. 2pp. 4to. CANY I-1-d Kenrick, Archbishop Francis Patrick of, Baltimore, Maryland, to Archbishop John Hughes, New York, New York 1853 Sep. 10 In accordance with the instructions of the Holy See, Kenrick has the honor of forwarding the Bulls and faculties of the Archbishop's new Suffragans. Kenrick has given to his late Vicar General Father John Loughlin those directed to him. Loughlin appears eager to escape. Hughes will learn with surprise that Dr. Bishop Michael O'Connor is transferred to Erie . He was so eager for the erection of the See that he offered to accept it. Father Josue Maria Moody Young succeeds him. Kenrick is awaiting suggestions as to the course to be pursued in regard to Dr. Levi Silliman Ives . Hughes pointed out Dr. O'Connor as his choice for a successor. It might be easy to transfer him from Erie as Coadjutor. Kenrick hopes Hughes' health is improved and that his honored guest Archbishop Cajetan Bedini is not likely to suffer insult in this free land. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 1p. 8vo. CANY I-1-g Passion, M.S.C., Sister Mary of the, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana 1854 Apr.29 For a long time Sister has wanted to call on Blanc. At present, she cannot; because of the difficult position in which she finds herself, she would be happy to see him in private. She does not want anyone at the Asylum to know that she has asked to talk to him. If Blanc comes today, she asks to talk with him. :: CI-1-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.

CANY I-1-d Courcy, Henry de, New York, New York, to Archbishop John Hughes, New York, New York 1856 Apr. 3 Courcy requested his friend John Gilmary Shea to transmit his petition. Courcy begs to thank Hughes for the copy of Bishop Simon William Gabriel Bruté 's manuscript. By the information he has received from friends at Rennes and by the books they have collected, Courcy will be able to transmit to Hughes, as soon as he returns from France, biographical notes on all the priests whose deaths Bruté relates. Courcy would like to look at the papers of Bishop Bruté which Hughes has, before returning to France. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo. CANY I-1-d Finotti, Father Joseph 1856 Dec. "Reflections and suggestions in regard to what is called the Catholic Press." Proofs from the "Metropolitan," Baltimore, Maryland, Vol. IV, no. 11 given to Finotti by John Gilmary Shea, Dec. 2, 1872—the corrections are in Archbishop John Hughes' hand, Finotti thinks. Proofs included with notes. Finotti notes that to understand these proofs, John R. Hassard 's life of Hughes must be read. The speech is republished in Kehoe's collection of Hughes' works. Aequitas published an answer to this in the New York Times January 6, 1857. Father John McElroy, S.J . when accused of writing the answer said he was too old for that. Rev. John Bryce denied that he wrote it but said it contained his sentiment. Finotti thinks that Thomas D'Arcy McGee wrote it. 9 Galleys and 1 page of notes by Finotti Attached is a copy of the Aequitas letter in the handwriting of Father Joseph Finotti: CANY I-1-d Aequitas Thomas D'Arcy McGee, to the editor of the New York Daily Times 1857 Jan. 6 All regret that the article "Reflections and suggestions on the Catholic Press" by Archbishop Hughes has been printed. It is said that many of his friends advised against it, but, accustomed to rule without counsel all his life, he could not consider it. He believes the Archbishop will regret the publication of the article more than any other article since the publication of that document in which he tried to make up for the want of respectability in his Irish origin by claiming a Welsh descent, and giving an elaborate family history. Hughes attacks the editor of the "Celt" for asserting that the success of religion in this country depends upon the influx of immigrants. Hughes next turns to Dr. Orestes A. Brownson for asserting that the success of the Church depends upon the native Americans. He next attacks the "Freeman's Journal. " Hughes attacks James Alphonsus McMaster. Hughes is the same old politician, he thinks more of what the world will say than what his priests and people will say. Hughes never condescended to call his priests together. Hughes tends to account for the lapsed Catholics as understandable only in the mysterious dispensations of Providence. This is a very convenient way of justifying Hughes' lack of positive action. Hughes' assertion that certain relapsed Catholics, who were baptized in the faith, never really belonged to the Church anyway, marks a precedent. It would be best if Hughes would restrain from political life. :: I-1-d Copy 8pp. 12mo. 12 9Galleys, 1p. notes by Finotti, 8pp. Copy CANY I-1-e McCloskey, Bishop John, Albany, New York 186?

Moylan is at liberty to invite the Bishops of Newark and Brooklyn to officiate. :: I-1-d L.S. 1p. 12mo. CANY I-1-d Barnabo, Alexander, Cardinal, Rome, Italy, to Archbishop John Hughes, New York, New York 1863 Apr 30 On January 25 Pope Pius IX granted Hughes' request of December 27 for extraordinary faculties. He also grants to Hughes' suffragan the enclosed extraordinary faculties for ten years to which he adds an instruction about mixed marriage and its rite and formula for the papal benediction. Barnabo says that the Pope grants other dispensations beyond the usual number in the enclosed rescript no enclosures. He notes Hughes' care about the circumstances of the other dispensations. H. Capalti, Secretary. :: I-1-d D. Printed Copy Latin 1p. 4to. CANY I-1-d MacHale, Archbishop John of Tuam, Roundstone, Cunnemara, Ireland, to D. And J. Sadlier and Company, New York, New York 1863 Jul 15 MacHale acknowledges the receipt of drafts for 6 pounds-12.8 which testifies to the zeal of the contributors. To Mr. Peter Gallagher of Wisconsin and his associates, MacHale feels particularly indebted. He hopes Sadlier and Company will thank them for himself and the poor of the West. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo. CANY I-1-d Purcell, Archbishop John Baptist, Cincinnati, Ohio, to the Editor of the New York Tablet, New York, New York 1863 Nov 30 Purcell requests that the paper sent to Joseph McKenzie be discontinued as it was intended for his sister who now lives out of town. This is no reflection on the merits of the paper. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo. CANY I-1-d Hecker, Father Isaac Thomas, New York, New York, to Mrs. Eliza Cullen, Delaware 1866 May 2 He encloses a list of subscribers which is no longer enclosed to the "Special Fund" of the Catholic Publications Society . Most of the tracts will be distributed to various institutions and prisons gratuitously and the rest sold for less than cost. Proceeds from memberships will make up the "General Fund" and the work is essentially missionary, and involves sacrifice. There are Brooklyn names on his list and she could add them to hers. Why should they not form a league for the cause of Our Lord. Our Lord has promised that if they believe in Him, they shall do greater works than He did. The first of all successes is Christ's triumph in their souls; humiliation etc. work for a higher glory. To suffer for Christ is the shortcut to becoming Christlike. God will employ them most purposefully if they let Him. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo. CANY I-1-d Hecker, Father Isaac Thomas, New York, New York, to Mrs. Eliza Cullen, Delaware 1866 May 7 Hecker went to the church the day before expecting to find her there. He waited but no one came. Perhaps she did not intend to go there but he thought that was her purpose. He quotes St. Paul about purging out the "old man". She is to read God-Bible-Nature-sometimes Thomas a Kempis. He says seek God primary and in all things. There is such a thing as an intellectual as well as a moral prodigal. Unless a man is wholly withdrawn from creatures and entirely united to God, whatsoever he may know, or do, is not of great weight. Hecker read that in a Kempis 10 or 15 years ago and has not appropriated it yet. Note in handwriting of James F. Edwards —From Father Walter Elliott :: I-1-d A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo. CANY I-1-h Hendricken, Father Thomas F., Waterbury, Connecticut, to Bishop Francis P. McFarland of Hartford, Providence, Rhode Island 1866 Aug. 29 Hendricken was speaking with Read and Moran this morning about changing from Troy to Montreal this year but neither seems to like it. While at St. Charles they suffered ill health and felt better at Troy and feel they could not stand the cold of Montreal. Moran speaks French and Read promises to associate with those that speak it in Troy. Lalor and Hinessey? leave for Montreal Monday. Four others go from here to Worcester. :: I-1-h A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Knowledge is not an end, hence we may sin by either excess or defect. Many men of their day have become crazy on science because they know so little. It is better to appropriate the little they know, than to learn more and to appropriate less. The volumes of the "Freeman's Journal" would be a valuable accession to their library.

With regard to other individuals, he can only state his recollections. Matthew Carey was a Catholic, and was unconscious at the time that the Sacrament of Extreme Unction was administered.

Pope Pius IX has commissioned Roncetti as Ablegate Apostolic, to present the red hat to Archbishop McCloskey. Roncetti presents his felicitations on the occasion when the first American has been raised to this honor. The Holy Father wanted to recognize the Archbishop's singular merits and long service to the Church, and at the same time to show his love for the Catholics of the United States, and to express his affection for this illustrious nation, where along with the great commercial and material progress, he sees some great progress in moral and religious matters.

He is endeavoring to collect information on the subject, and arrange the archives they have, but his health is poor, and his time is occupied. He is unwilling to request the help of a priest. In his diocese, the Catholic Church is making very little progress. The war had a disastrous effect upon the Maryland Catholic families and the immigration to the state is very small. As regards himself, he is unwilling to say anything. The article about him in Appleton's Encyclopedia is accurate except that he was never a Protestant minister in Hagerstown. He is descended from old English and Dutch colonial families both of which came into the colony of New Amsterdam or New York in the 17th Century. He was received into the Catholic Church in Rome in April, 1842, and was ordained in 1844. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

CANY I-1-d Bayley, Archbishop James Roosevelt, Baltimore, Maryland, to John O'Kane Murray, Brooklyn, Long Island 1876 Jan. 29 The Statistics of the diocese have been very imperfectly kept. There are more converts than is generally believed. He is opposed to publishing the popular guess-work statistics. On both sides, his family is descended from old colonial families. His father's came from Norfolkshire in England about 1690 and settled in west Chester County, New York. His mother's came from Holland in 1643 to New Amsterdam. His grandfather Dr. Richmond Bayley 's life is in Thatcher's Medical Biography with some inaccuracies. He was staff surgeon to the British Commander-in-chief during the American Revolution and was the particular friend of Sir Guy Carleton, afterwards Lord Dorchester, after whom the Archbishop's father, Guy Carleton Bayley, was named. In Dr. White's "Life of Mother Seton" can be found some of the particulars. His father was a physician and for some time had charge of the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum. Bayley studied for the Episcopal Church, to which both of his parents belonged, under Dr. Samuel Farmar Jarvis of that Church, who had a large and well chosen library which was the means of his conversion to the Catholic Church. Bayley has always been an advocate of Catholic schools. Dr. Jarvis' library included the best editions of the Fathers. In writing an essay on the Apostolic Canons which obliged Bayley to study the ancient councils, he became convinced that the Pope had more to do with the government of the Church than they were willing to allow. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.

The principal in this business is one Major Haverty, assisted by Charles O'Connor. Archbishop John McCloskey opposed the move.

He did not return to America immediately after ordination but went with Archbishop Samuel Eccleston to England and Ireland and spent the next year at the Sulpician solitude at Issy returning to America in July.

CANY I-1-d McCloskey, Father John Mt. St. Mary's College, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to John O'Kane Murray, Brooklyn, Long Island 1877 Jan. 15 McCloskey's daily routine of duties in college takes up all his time and prevents him from carrying out a long-cherished desire to have the history of the "Mountain" written out. Father John McCaffrey, who goes back to the time of Bishop John Dubois and Bishop Simon William Gabriel Brute, and was the distinguished President of St. Mary's College for several years could do the job. McCaffrey's health has been feeble for several years and circumstances obliged McCloskey to assume the duties of President. McCloskey is under obligations to his personal friend Bishop John Loughlin for the valuable assistance rendered by Father William J. Hill, Principal of the junior department of St. Mary's, and many other subjects of the Brooklyn diocese who have labored earnestly for the "Mountain". He is also grateful to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell who allowed Father Michael Hayes to remain at the "Mountain." In the summer of 1830 Purcell, then President of St. Mary's College, on his way to Montreal, preached at St. James Church, now the cathedral, and then the only church in Brooklyn. Father P.A. Walsh and the President dined at McCloskey's father's house and McCloskey was asked if he would not like to go to Emmitsburg. He had heard of Emmitsburg through Father William Quarter, who taught him catechism at old St. Peter's Church, New York. He said he would be willing to try Emmitsburg for a year, and when the President returned from Canada, McCloskey joined the little band of recruits for the "Mountain" and has been there ever since. He has had but one vacation. Had he been informed he would have gone to the funeral of Mrs. Cox who died before Christmas. He sends a report of the "Mountain" for Murray's 5th edition: Number of graduates about 300; Volumes in the library about 12,000; Present number of students in college about 152; Present number of students in the seminary about 41. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo. 11 CANY I-1-d Purcell, Archbishop John Baptist, Cincinnati, Ohio, to John O'Kane Murray, Brooklyn, Long Island 1877 Jan. 15 He has received Murray's of January 14th.

Verot he said in the pamphlet written at Verot's death. Some of the data he gave there was only second hand, and incorrect. Referring to the Bishop when yet a priest, he made him travel "afoot and fasting, for several years, after a first mass said in Baltimore, to Ellicott's Mills, where he sang a High Mass and preached." This, according to Father B.S. Piot of St. Charles College, was incorrect. Also what he said there of the Bishop's "taking off his shoes or some other part of his wearing apparel to give to some poor man he chanced to meet on the way" is at least questionable.

Edes, Rome, Italy 1882 Jun. 4 Cavicchioni sends her a few words about doubts proposed by Archbishop Michael A. Corrigan, with the warning that although he is a minutante at the Propaganda, they may be contradicted by that Congregation. 1. The parish of the Cathedral does not form part of the espicopal mensa. The Bishop has two distinct personalities as bishop and as pastor. 2. The bishop would not fulfill his oath in naming a rector to the Cathedral. 3. The rule against alienation does not apply to the cathedraticum. 4. The Bishops of the United States can name rectors but Cavicchioni does not know enough about their status. The pastors of the cathedrals in the United States are sui generis. He gives as examples Davis of Philadelphia and Hickey of Pittsburgh . He doubts that the rector would be removed without a serious reason unless they were given a suitable position elsewhere. Cavicchioni thinks that the assertion that Corrigan has incurred censure by ordination performed sede vacante is ridiculous. A.L.S. Italian 5pp. CANY I-1-i Apparently enclosed with the preceding document is a statement of the problem in the hand of Miss Edes. The points are 1. Bishop Winand Wigger and his secretary insist that the Bishop cannot name a rector of the cathedral because that would be alienating part of the episcopal mensa. This is the opinion of Bishop John England. Monsignor George H. Doane, the Cathedral Rector, is supported by all the bishops of the country. 2. Bishops in the United States where there is no Cathedral chapter nor parishes should not set up a rector of the Cathedral parish. 3. Propaganda in rulings on America and Australia insists that the bishops be supported by funds collected in the diocese. The prohibition about alienation refers not to financial offerings but to the immovable property. Wigger wrote to Doane claiming that Corrigan was suspended from Pontificalibus because be ordained sede vacante. Bishop Francis Patrick Kenrick and Father Michael Koenig maintain that in case of necessity the bishop could so act. Cardinal John McCloskey also ordered him to act. Corrigan ordained three deacons who had been prepared while he was still Bishop of Newark. 5. The American custom of appointing rectors of the Cathedral goes back for more than forty years. The Catholic Directory shows how other bishops do this, but Doane who prepared the report for Newark never designated himself as rector. 6. The removal of Doane would probably be against the Instruction of 1878. A.D.

They have two Catholic physicians - Dr. McDonald from Canada and Dr. Dwyer, formerly of Brooklyn. Catholics are well-to-do, rapidly increasing in numbers. Catholics, as a rule, prefer a Catholic physician. Minneapolis is about equally populous with St. Paul, with a somewhat relatively smaller Catholic population.

Benjamin Cavicchioni begs Corrigan not to show the copy of the Breve in his handwriting as it might be recognized. It is wonderful to find out the various intrigues of Archbishop James Gibbons . He has succeeded in conveying the idea that he is the leading mind and man in the American Episcopate. Edes has utter contempt for him. Did Corrigan see that nonsense in the "Herald" of jan.24, copied from the Baltimore "Sun?" Those stories were all his. Edes thinks Gibbons is a fraud. His vanity and ambition blind him entirely. Still he has accomplished his aim. Only the other day the rector of Propaganda eulogized him. They are so stupid here that they will not see it. Is it true that Father Thomas J. Ducey has received his appointment as Monsignor? If they do not complain and show their teeth they will act like very great geese. It would be the only way to put a stop to such impertinence for the future and the Propaganda would gladly echo their remonstrances as it is an insult to them this continued interference of the Secretariate of State in matters which should be referred to Propaganda. Corrigan should write forcibly that he is much astonished that in such a matter none of the proper authorities were consulted and that a priest Ulysses Mori, turned out of the Diocese for reasons known to Propaganda, should have power to carry through such a thing. Cardinal Henry Edward Manning would do so very quickly and be the more feared and respected for it here. The American Bishops submit quietly and they care nothing for them in consequence. Edes would also let Earl Denbigh know what was thought of his impertinent proceeding in the affair. Father Schulte says the 1000 francs were received from Dr. Deane and are deposited in the bank. He does not know to whom the $100 should be given. Will Corrigan please write due instructions? Edes thinks there must be some bombast over the twenty papal benedictions which according to the "Catholic Review" of Jan. 5 Mgr. Thomas Capel was authorized to impart "the twelfth of which he had given at Mt. St. Vincent." The Cardinal says he got no such faculties. It would be well to ask to see Capel's special papers. Mori gives out he is Capel's paid agent here. Mori presented himself at the College soon after the death of the rector Msgr. Louis Edward Hostlot and asked if he had left a will.

Farley . She heard the news of his death while on her way to see him. They feel his loss very much at Propaganda. The Cardinal always said that he was the only rector of the American College who has always "d'accordo" with Propaganda. She hopes that the new rector will be made to understand that his is the best courses, neither BishopWilliam George McCloskey nor Bishop Francis Silas Chatard understood this. Monsignor Austin J. Schulte, the vice rector is in charge for the present; he is a nice humble fellow, but young and inexperienced. She hopes that the "the Primate" Archbishop James Gibbons? will not be allowed to choose the new rector as he might choose Father Denis J. O'Connell . Possibly Father de Concillo would choose Father Patrick Corrigan . Edes hopes they will choose Farley, as he would be acceptable and speaks Italian. She encloses a copy of the Brief delegating Baltimore Gibbons to convoke a council. It is for Corrigan and the Cardinal only; they are not to show it to anyone or speak of it as it might get them into a scrape. She is amused by the poor faith of the American Episcopate. Corrigan will remember that he was almost reluctant to speak for Farley because they had agreed not to ask for dioceses for anyone. Yet Chatard asked for and obtained a Domestic Prelate. Several changes will be made in Rome. Angelo Cardinal Jacobini will probably be Vicar; Joseph Cardinal Pecci or possibly Innocent Cardinal Ferrieri, Vice Chancellor.

Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick 's action is not sustained. Father Gleeson is still bound by his vows as a member of the Congregation of the Mission Vincentians and does not have the faculties of the diocese. Note apparently by Ella B.

Two students are awaiting entrance exams, one a nephew of James G. Blaine . Brother is very busy working on a paper to read in New Orleans before the International Congress of Educators.

Probably McCloskey has received her two volumes of Sep.25 and Oct.12. She received Corrigan's last of Oct.8 and will ask for the documents for John Gilmary Shea . Just now all are away. Yesterday and today all the Colleges returned save the Irish which will make the retreat at Tivoli. The Irish conference is put off till January. Cardinal Edward McCabe will will not come in any case. His health will not allow it. The Herald states that Errington has gone over to the Parnell party. The Deans are in their Florence home. Miss Metcalfe is with them for the present but passes the winter with Miss Sedgwick, who is already here. Dear Bernardo is still haunting the Paris boulevards. He is greatly exercised over the state of the Church in France. Fathers O'Keefe and Dougherty are here, so Father Augustine J. Schulte tells her. Has Corrigan seen the pamphlets of Father William Faerber on education? He presented them to the Holy Father Leo XIII who was very much pleased. Schulte promised Edes some copies. Edes sent two new volumes on the Pallium and the last work of Cardinal Thomas Zigliara. She will send that of Msgr. Francis Satolli which is greatly praised here. She sent them also to the AbbéJames Alphonsus McMaster , but he does not condescend to note or review books for Rome. What a mess he makes of things lately. Corrigan should suggest to Msgr. John M. Farley to acknowledge the receipt of the books he wrote for and which were all found and forwarded. They had a nice scandal the other day, the marriage of the idiot Baroness Dachrocellen?, morganatic daughter of the late King of Prussia, to that old reprobate Ex. Msgr. de la Viles de Surreine, Count by birth, who was taken from the rolls of the Vatican some years since for open immorality. They were married in the American Methodist Church in Piazza. It is rumored that some bishop is about to join the National Italian Church which was lately excommunicated by the Cardinal Vicar. She trusts the report to be false. She is sorry to hear of Cardinal John McCloskey 's serious fall and hopes it will prove nothing. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo.

Leon Carrois of the Catholic Club of Workingmen of Arras has been given the Cross of Commander of the Order of Saint Gregory. :: I-1-i Photostat from N.Y. Archdiocesan Archives 1p. 4 inch col CANY I-1-i Edes, Ella B., Rome, Italy, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1884 Dec. 4 Edes thought it just as well not to answer Corrigan's last two letters while he was in Baltimore. She made a row over that "German panegyrical article" in the Osservatore both to Jacobinetto Msgr. Dominic Jacobini and the editors. By means of statistics in Corrigan's letter and others procured from Father Dougherty and the directory, Edes wrote the article in the Osservatore. She insisted it should print the retraction. The article was presented by a most excellent German religious here, not in Baltimore. Edes concludes it was one of the C.SS.R.'s from Villa Caserta. Edes does not think they will try it again. She expatiated on the stupidity of accepting information on America from people who knew nothing of it and who injured the cause in America by thus insulting the Irish element. Edes has them all in a proper state of terror. Edes was assured that they have a proper dread of the Cardinal McCloskey and Corrigan. The secretary begged her to draw up something about the Council so she did what she could. The Marquis Crispolti, editor of the Osservatore, came to ask Edes' opinion about inserting a "sunto" of the Cooper Institute meeting. He remembered the row Edes made over the article inserted by Ulysses Mori which caused him to refuse any further dealings with that individual. Edes gave him a synopsis of Corrigan's sermon at the Requiem Mass. Edes is waiting for the Catholic Mirror. She is doubtful of the report of the New York Herald, the only one publishing any sort of text of the decrees promulgated. Edes cannot get along so fast as when younger. Corrigan should not fail to send Propaganda an early copy of Pamphlet III of Father Patrick Corrigan . Jacobinetto said they would finally settle him and Edes will help them. Bishop Dominic Manucy gives up Mobile and returns to Brownsville. There are too many debts and too little money to meet them. Father Augustine J. Schulte keeps Corrigan posted about the College. Msgr. Ubaldo Ubaldi is very ill. They talk of removing a rib because of come fearful abscess. Poor O'Leary is pronounced hopeless with Bright's disease. They are all trying to get Ubaldi out of the College and put in one of their old Italians. Schulte is fighting hard over it. They tried the same game under Msgr. Louis E. Hostlot who would not hear of it. Ubaldi would be a great loss to the College. Edes believes the new Commissary Apostolic for Canada will be their friend Msgr. Louis Sepiacci who will be near enough to pounce on Corrigan in the U.S., if required. Is it not stupid to send another to further muddle matters. There are many remarks here made over the fact that none of the sermons to be delivered before the Council is on "The Pope," and also the presence as visitor of Bishop Timothy O'Mahoney of Toronto who they say should keep quiet and stay out of sight. The pamphlet with Bishop John Lancaster Spalding's sermon has just arrived. Edes hopes the Delegate Apostolic will appreciate the compliment Edes paid him in No. I. Miss Sedgwick always muddles things. Miss Metcalf is with her this winter. Miss Dana sends enthusiastic postals from Baltimore. What a disgraceful speculation that of the Catholic Mirror. Anyone can see that the illustrations are those of the Second Council. Edes had a long letter from Msgr. Benjamin Cavicchioni . He is terribly lonely and does not admire especially the Secretary. He sends regards to Corrigan and Bishop McQuaid.

He went to Gettysburg to recruit his health and to write a full history of the Gettysburg campaign for a Washington newspaper, and has obtained some way valuable historical facts and reminiscences. He discusses his stay at Gettysburg. He placed an immense amount of work in the safe of the Deposit Company and has written for some of it to be sent to him. He would withhold some of his new material if Ford and his uncle Patrick Ford are determined upon continuing the work. He gives the plan of his book, the order of handling Civil War battles, and changes that he proposes in the material used and unused. He has had two publishing houses after his work, but will give preference to the Fords. He would prefer to have Patrick's name associated with his history. Some of the illustrations Ford sent for his comment were very good, others were ridiculous. He speaks of the illustrations explaining his point of view. He has written to Father White. He asks Ford to look over his letters and try to answer his questions and comply with his requests. He wants most of all a proof of all the material already furnished.

In Buffalo and Albany dioceses, the same neglect exists. The state law is favorable. In McQuaid's diocese, only one little mission is not incorporated. McQuaid will bless the Church in the spring, and it will then be incorporated. He intends to pass all over to the diocese for the future diocesan Seminary. He has not heard from Rome on the O'Sullivan matter. Good understanding and a plan ought to precede action about the Albany Agency business. What about the Decrees, etc.? The Rector of the American College ought to be at his post, for prolonged absence will be detrimental. Who showed the Acta, etc. of the Council to Father O'Reiley for him to communicate to the New York Sun? The London Tablet copied it and made public in Europe what was not known to them. Besides, the Acta are not for publication. Has the Crimmins case been settled? :: I-1-i A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Nothing has come from Rome. McQuaid cannot act without an official reply. There is nothing in the Father Terence J.? Early case except a letter from Bishop Timothy O'Mahoney denying having intimated that Early had right on his side and that McQuaid ought to compromise with him. Some attempt was made to frighten McQuaid into some concession to Early. McQuaid read Ella B. Edes ' letter to Corrigan. Baltimore is creaking its new boots loudly. It is Cardinal James Gibbons, "Cardinal Archbishop" and all the changes. McQuaid would keep away from the ceremony of next week except to back up Corrigan. The largest consolation is that it is only "hope deferred." :: I-1-i A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

The excuse given for the delay is feigned. All the returns might have been gathered since he was notified of the order of Rome. The delay is to enable him to get to Rome as soon as the letter providing for the division and naming the candidates gets there. McQuaid is pleased with Bishop Edgar P. Wadhams' suggestion of Father James S. M. Lynch of Utica. They can probably secure his appointment if they can get him on the list. McQuaid will give no consent to a scandalous division, such as of Rochester and Buffalo. Corrigan will have to see to rectification of boundary lines. McQuaid will go to New York for the Pallium ceremony. The limited express makes travelling easy. Postponement of the Consistory was a happy thought. McQuaid feels New York will not get a get-back, even if two have to be created. The Baltimore Mirror this week had not a word about Cardinal James Gibbons, while last week it was full. Archbishop William Henry Elder is likely to have a stormy time near the coast. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

The statement that the Jesuits delight in reading bookson the Index is absolutely untrue. He is a Westerner himself, and he heartily deprecates the fact that such sentiments should come from way out in San Francisco. A note written on the paper by Charles F. Porter states: "Even the influence of 'Infidel Cornell' has failed to quench within me the teachings of my beloved Alma Mater. God bless dear old Notre Dame !

McQuaid is not justified in proceeding in the case without receiving an official answer. Bis op Richard Gilmour of Cleveland asked McQuaid when McQuaid was going there. McQuaid answered that he and Bishop William George McCloskey of Louisville would go to Cleveland immediately after March 17. Father W.A. McDonald did not accept the Rectorship of the Cathedral because of his health. Father James P. Kiernan takes the charge. He is a capable, even a remarkable young man.

The news from Rome announcing the promotion of Quebec and Baltimore Archbishop James Gibbons comes in good time to cover the former mistake. McQuaid does not agree that the Jubilee fast cannot be kept on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday in Lent. Bishop John Loughlin of Brooklyn withdraws all abstinence days of Lent from the catalogue of days on which the Jubilee fast can be kept. He will have to exclude all other fast days in the year.

Wadhams, Ogdensburg, New York 1886 Mar. 11 McQuaid thanks Wadhams for Father John Talbot Smith's history of the diocese of Ogdensburg. He might have given first place to the Bishop and the second to the secretary, but the preference may have been to beauty and to rank. McQuaid has found the book exceedingly interesting. He did not know that Father Patrick Kelly, the first resident priest of Rochester, went to Wadham's neighborhood after leaving Rochester. He built the first church in Rochester in 1821, having come the year before. He left in 1823. McQuaid was under the impression that he went from there to Michigan where he died in 1856. Rev. Mr. Foley was in Rochester in 1834-5 and tried to establish St. Mary's church but failed. McQuaid is not willing to admit that Bishop John Connolly visited Northern New York. Nor did he ever hear that Father John Hughes accompanied Bishop John Dubois on a missionary tour. They were not friendly. Hughes was not his choice for coadjutor and Hughes was too busy as pastor in Philadelphia to leave for a tour through the wilderness of New York. Of course the defects of priests are passed over with charity, but the people were not always to blame for parochial squabbles as appears in Smith. The book makes an excellent basis for a complex record of those early days. More justice might be done to the pioneers of the faith. Many of the laity did excellent work before the advent of the priest. :: I-1-h Incomplete A.L. 2pp. 12mo. CANY I-1-h Swift, Father John Joseph, New York, New York, to Bishop Edgar P.

The Council declined to act in the matter, relegating the question to a committee composed of the Archbishops of the country. It is a reserved privilege of the Archbishops as a body to examine and decide the lawfulness of the A.O.H. United action of the Archbishops would be a rule for the whole country. The council chose to bury the business. Archbishop Patrick John Ryan of Philadelphia partially reversed the action of his predecessor, but this does not bind any one else. Archbishops John J. Hughes and John McCloskey disapproved of the order. The order is affiliated with a foreign secret order. Corrigan is not obliged to move as the matter was relegated to the whole body of Archbishops. McQuaid wrote to Father James H. Corrigan in relation to Seton Hall College declining to express opinion on its future. McQuaid hopes Bishop William McCloskey of Louisville will not shorten his visit to New York. McQuaid expects him next Saturday. McQuaid is afraid that the Oregon's mail is lost. So far nothing from Rome. Father Terence J. Early was in town last week and McQuaid feels he will give way to his feelings of hatred of McQuaid by vilification and abuse. :: I-1-i A.L.S.

Feehan . The speech was a prepared one to block condemnation of the Hibernians. The questions were meant as a protection to the Council. The answers in McQuaid's judgment were satisfactory. Corrigan would do well to submit them to Bishop Richard Gilmour, who might advise something to widen the breach between the two parties. Corrigan should send copies to all the Archbishops requesting their opinions. The history of the break at Cleveland should be given in the document to show the difference between the two branches of the Society. While exclusion from the sacraments should cease, it does not follow that the Ancient Order of Hibernians should be recognized as a Church society. Bishop William McCloskey and McQuaid had a pleasant visit to Cleveland. Bishop James G. Bagshawe of Nottingham has raised a row by his condemnation of the Primrose League. Condemnations or approvals of these societies ought to be given with the great caution. McQuaid has not heard from Rome. At Cleveland, he saw a letter from Ella B. Edes in which she let out news of the Albany division. Gilmour showed the letter to McCloskey, who does not like Edes or correspondence with her. Gilmour did not know this until later. :: I-1-i A.L.S. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo. CANY I-1-i McQuaid, Bishop Bernard Joseph, Rochester, New York, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1886 Apr. 7 Bishop Richard Gilmour 's suggestion with regard to the Clan-na-gael is a good one. They cannot ask more of the Ancient Order of Hibernians than has been asked. It is satisfactory to McQuaid to have Father Terence J. Early 's claim brought before an ecclesiastical tribunal. Early is the plaintiff against the St. Patrick's Church Society. McQuaid names Father James F. O'Hare as the Church's ecclesiastical advocate. If what Early claims is right and just, it will have to be the same for all other claimants and other dioceses. If Early should present his case by the 16th, it will not be possible to answer until after Easter. The delay in Rome is occasioned by Msgr. Donatus Sbaretti waiting to hear from McQuaid to send him what he needs. McQuaid has written to several bishops for facts. A letter from Ella B. Edes went down on the Oregon and she wrote again. Last week McQuaid suspended Father George J. Osborne for several reasons. He is personally irretrievably bankrupt. McQuaid had no idea that his affairs were as bad as they are. P.S. Bishop Lawrence McMahon 's opinion is correct. News of the division is well aired in the Catholic newspapers. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Early is afraid of having it come before an ecclesiastical tribune. McQuaid can agree to nothing short of removal of the case from the civil courts, and the dropping of the claim for interest. An important principle is at stake and has to be decided on grounds that will make law for the whole country. Corrigan is to return the Cardinal's letter. Archbishop John J. Williams returned to Boston last week. He enjoys Hemlock Lake immensely. McQuaid encloses a letter from Msgr. Denis J. O'Connell no enclosure asking to lend him Father Edward Hanna. This means McQuaid would lose him altogether. It is hard for his young diocese to make such a sacrifice. One thought makes McQuaid hesitate. He would like to see the American College in Rome free of the Italians. The Doctor is a little confused in his presentment of the case.

O'Sullivan of Hudson writes to say he no longer has anything to do with the suit with Hudson Church. He has made his claim over to his brother to pay his debts. He cannot pay his personal debts with church money. The church at Hudson owes him nothing. As he has appealed to the Holy See to place his case before civil courts, it is a gross indignity. McQuaid is curious about what Corrigan has to say of the machinations in Rome. McQuaid has allowed Father Edward Hanna to go to Rome for a year. He sends three or four of his students there in the autumn and may be obliged to send all his students abroad as it may be impossible for them to enter American seminaries. What a farce.

Corrigan should say nothing to Henry George and should send everything to Rome. He should give the facts about the Public school vs. the Catholic school, also McGlynn's action in regard to the Land League meetings. It is for the best interests of the people to replace McGlynn. If he is not removed from the city, any other discipline is of little use. McQuaid did not write to Rome on the "German question". He has received a letter from Bishop Richard Gilmour asking what is to be done. McQuaid answered that this underhand work should be put a stop to, if possible. Dispatches tell that Cardinal Franzelin is dead. An editorial in this morning's "Democrat" backs up Corrigan satisfactorily. McGlynn has a more numerous following among the younger priests than Corrigan has knowledge of.

Father Edward McGlynn was leading many young priests astray by his ability to fascinate them. If he will not yield to Rome then he steps out of the Church. McQuaid sends a copy of yesterday's Rochester "Democrat." The papers speak of Father Charles McCready going to St. Stephen's. He is the best one for that post. McGlynn has made friends for himself. He is hand in glove with Patrick Ford of the "Irish World" and the extreme Irish revolutionists. He has appealed to American prejudice on the public school and tries to make the working classes believe he is their special friend, but has driven off the more intelligent of his American sympathizers. Corrigan should hold no discussions with him or his friends. Nothing less than McGlynn's removal from the city will answer. McQuaid had a letter from Msgr. Denis J. O'Connell, who said the German and American University questions would come before the Sacred Congregation in January. McQuaid is undecided whether to hold the Synod in January or wait until Easter week. He cannot bring the Father James S.

Abbelen and his underhand workers will get very little satisfaction. The concession of separate parishes for respective languages will be granted as it already exists, through the action of the Bishops. Edes also says the Catholic University affair will not be settled until Cardinal James Gibbons gets there. The papers up here are quiet about the Father Edward McGlynn affair. The excitement was manufactured for a purpose by the Fenian element. In Chicago Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan dined with Michael Davitt and Gibbons had an audience with him. In New York, Davitt faces ten thousand people and announces his land theories, as bad and worse than McGlynn. Corrigan did well to protest such a scandal. The disturbances at St. Stephen's seem ended. McQuaid had not heard of Ramsay Crook's sickness or death until he received Corrigan's telegram.

The newspaper say Father Richard Lalor Burtsell was suspended and removed from Epiphany. If Corrigan can crush this rebellion by the Father Edward McGlynn faction, he will have won a great battle. Corrigan must send newspapers to the Propaganda, Cardinals Gibbons, Howard, Masella, to Bishops Persico, Ireland, Keane, to Smith, and others he may think of. Burtsell and Curran will fight on another score than McGlynn. Corrigan should make good use of the doings at the meeting of St. Stephen's people last Friday. McQuaid sends a letter showing how McGlynn's revolt affects others at a distance and it should be destroyed after being read. McQuaid has just bought the site for St. Bernard's Seminary —24 acres on the Genesee and 2200 feet on the Boulevard. Price $10,000. Father Edward Hanna will return at the end of the scholastic year.

Maurice Francis Egan did not take the meaning out of McQuaid's letter. McQuaid was led to believe Egan was unfriendly to him. Egan's letter shows that he had no such intention. Did Corrigan prohibit Burtsell from selling his pamphlet until corrected and approved? P.S. McQuaid is glad about what Archbishop Patrick Ryan said of his namesake of Buffalo Bishop Stephen V. Ryan. McQuaid could have got their province to take concerted action but for fear of him and Brooklyn. :: I-1-i A.L.S. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo.

Stewart about Father Richard L. Burtsell's trip to Rome. Father Terrence J. ? Early said he would gladly pay the expenses for Burtsell to fight his case. McQuaid also learned that Early made a will leaving what he is worth to Bishop Stephen V. Ryan, on condition that Ryan fight this case in Rome to the end. Early has an incurable disease and will die in a year or two. Should Burtsell go to Rome, McQuaid will send Father James F. O'Hare. It is a long while since McQuaid heard from Via Mercede. Ryan took an Italian priest who can do the translating. McQuaid would have small chance if he did not have the law and right on his side. He expected Bishop Edgar Wadhams to visit him this week. He will visit Bishop Richard Gilmour week after next. Father Edward McGlynn's crazy utterances last Sunday finished him. Some who were going astray are finding out that Corrigan was right in his firm course. The Irish World in its last issue was very strong. McQuaid's impression is that Pope Leo XIII will cover in his next Encyclical the whole doctrine of property. This will settle Henry George's theories. Were there any hisses at the Papal celebration? The dispatches said there were, but that may have been an invention of the enemy. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo. 8 ' CANY I-1-i McQuaid Bishop Bernard Joseph, Rochester, New York, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1888 Mar. 2 McQuaid has no business to bring before the Bishops of the Province. Father Richard L. Burtsell's pamphlet may startle them in Rome. The news from Rome is satisfactory. Corrigan's affairs will come out right. Ella B. Edes writes that Father Terence J. ? Early's case has not yet come before them in Rome. The Propaganda has written for an opinion in the Father James S.O'Sullivan case, even if he is dead. McQuaid will send it after Easter. About five weeks ago, McQuaid began the visitation of his diocese and is getting along very successfully. When does Corrigan propose to go to Rome? McQuaid will start sometime in November. Father Edward McGlynn has got down to the comic stage in his career. The famous Father Henry Egler asked for an "Exeat" and it was promptly given. McQuaid said that Cardinal James Gibbons is about to visit Boston. Corrigan has no doubt seen the European Herald speculating that Gibbons will be the next Pope. Should the Cardinal see these speculations, considerable mental disturbance will result. :: I-1-i A.L.S. Photostats from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo.

He has seen no one yet, except Ella B. Edes. He has received a number of slips including those concerning the McGuire case. Corrigan should send the report of Father Richard L. Burtsell's testimony. McQuaid intends to take up this subject first of all. He has Father Edward McGlynn's speech at the anti-poverty meeting. This amounts to nothing. In it there is language against the Church and its authorities and teachings. If McQuaid doesn't get satisfaction at the Propaganda he will bring the case to the Holy Father. McQuaid will advise the Propaganda to order Burtsell, as a Propagandist, to Rome, send him to a monastery for six months and then to a country mission in New York. Father Louis A. Lambert took passage in La Normandie to annoy McQuaid. Lambert arrived in Rome on Nov. 21, but has not yet been at the Propaganda and got the cold shoulder here. If necessary, McQuaid will remain in Rome until the hot weather. Bishop John J. Keane was here ahead of McQuaid. Continued Dec 13th: It seems impossible for McQuaid to get his trunk. He has been here at the Propaganda and saw the Cardinal. He was firm that Lambert must make ample reparation for the past. The Cardinal would rather not settle the affair before a general congregation. The next day McQuaid saw Cardinal Louis Jacobini, who was firmer. Lambert has not called at the Propaganda. Burtsell and McSweeny both wrote in favor of Lambert. McQuaid had a long talk with Father Bernard Smith on Burtsell, Lambert and the University. The last subject interested him the most. How far the Holy Father will allow McQuaid to speak on the University and other pressing subjects he does not know. McQuaid has asked for an audience. Msgr. Denis J. O'Connell and Keane went to Porto D'Anzio for the air, and possibly for preparation of the University statutes. The Cardinals are quite dist urbed by some of Keane's utterances. Yesterday's "Moniteur de Rome" contained the Pope's letter to the American Bishops on the care to be devoted to Italians who cross the Atlantic. The Pope credits McQuaid's diocese with 2900 Italians, but there are about 300. Corrigan should send the full report of the McGuire case. Corrigan should not be uneasy--all will come out right. Burtsell's last affair is all in Corrigan's favor. Last night Charles Dana and McQuaid called on Cardinals Mariano Rampolla and John Simeoni and the visits were very satisfactory. Dana said the non-Catholic American public approved of Corrigan's course. McQuaid had a talk with Msgr. Donatus Sbarretti. They all seem afraid to have the Lambert case go before the General Congregation. All the American Bishops have left Rome. Father Charles E. McDonnell should send a typewriter, paper and instructions to Edes and it will be a great relief to her. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo. 11 Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York CANY I-1-i McQuaid, Bishop Bernard Joseph, Rome, Italy, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1888 Dec. 20 McQuaid is still waiting for the report of Father Richard L. Burtsell's testimony in the McGuire case. Cardinal John Simeoni is timorous to a frightful degree. Burtsell has avowed himself friend and counsel of Father Edward McGlynn. Burtsell said McGuire did no wrong in attending the Anti-Poverty meetings. McQuaid now feels that it is Corrigan's duty to forbid Catholics to be present at these meetings, and make it a reserved case. McQuaid advises Corrigan to prepare a letter instancing some of McGlynn's worst expressions at these meetings. Corrigan should prepare the letter carefully, consulting one or more safe advisers before culminating it. Father Terence J. ? Early's case is as good as settled. In a few days, Ella B. Edes will have all translated and the Propaganda will direct Early to remove his case from the civil calendar. McQuaid has not heard for some days of Father Louis A. Lambert or what he proposes to do. McQuaid feels that Lambert will insist on his case going into the general congregation. Edes has written to Corrigan about Cardinal James Gibbons' letter against any condemnation of Henry George's writings. She has also sent Corrigan a copy of McGlynn's telegram to the Propaganda declaring that he had no case before the Propaganda. Where then does Burtsell's office of counsel come in? McQuaid has great fun about the University. Bishop John J. Keane let out that he expected Fathers Edward A. Pace and Edward J. Hanna to be professors. McQuaid said that Keane might have Pace but McQuaid would have Hanna and that he hoped in time to have honorable competition between Rochester and Washington. McQuaid's audience with the Holy Father was exceedingly pleasant. He introduced Charles Dana of the Sun, who spoke warmly in commendation of Corrigan's course. Corrigan should tell Father Charles McDonnell not to delay about the typewriter. P.S. Msgr. Denis J. O'Connell is exceedingly annoyed by Father Thomas A. Hayes of Santa Fe who came two months ago and planted himself here as of right. It would be too bad for the College to support him, Hayes doing nothing for the college or himself. McQuaid writes of this at O'Connell's request. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo. 10 Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York CANY I-1-f Campbell, S.J., Father Thomas 1888 Dec. 21 Tribute to Father Isaac Hecker, Church of St. Paul the Apostle, New York. :: I-1-f A.

Duhamel let out that Rome proposed to establish a sort of ecclesiastical court, headed by Cardinal James Gibbons, to hear and decide all ecclesiastical cases, except money ones. This week McQuaid will take up the Father Richard L. Burtsell case. The telegraphic despatches mention Corrigan's pastoral of Sunday. The rector here thinks Corrigan should have allowed the Father Edward McGlynn business to die of itself, but McQuaid told him that waiting for a natural death had proved useless. McQuaid cannot make out how Msgr. Denis J. O'Connell stands toward Corrigan. He has great influence at the Propaganda. McQuaid wrote to Father Charles McDonnell to say that the Father Terence J. ? Early case was settled according to McQuaid's demand. This will be bitter for Early and Burtsell to swallow. McQuaid has good reason to believe that he will be equally successfull in the Father Louis A. Lambert case. The probabilities are that he will be allowed to go to some other diocese. McQuaid's case will be presented to the Propaganda this week or next. He cannot say when he will leave Rome. He has had great fun over the University. Bishop John J. Keane is wonderfully good-natured. "The Nun of Kenmare" furnishes the text now. McQuaid tells him that he is in good company with Gibbons, Corrigan, Bishop Richard Gilmour and other dignitaries. McQuaid gave Cardinal Ludovicus Jacobini a short statement in relation to the Statutes of the Catholic University , pointing out some of its dangers. Many people here really believe in its success. They believe that all American Bishops are enthusiastic over the affair and look forward to wonderful results. What a disillusion is in store for them. P.S. They say the Pope's letter on the Italians was intended for South America, but the harm has been done. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo. 10 Photostat from Archdiocesan Archieves of New York CANY I-1-i McQuaid, Bernard Joseph Bishop of Rochester American College, Rome, Italy, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1889 Feb. 16 McQuaid gave Corrigan's letter of the 1st to Msgr. Denis O'Connell fter he asked if Corrigan had said anything about Cardinal James Gibbons' ermon. The letter contained Corrigan's dealing with McSweeny in Bishop John Moore's ase. It was important to let him see Corrigan's version because he was so often misrepresented. McQuaid said he would have refused Moore pontificalia if he had been Corrigan. Bishop John J. Keane ouched on the University subject, which is rare for him. With Keane, McQuaid alludes to the University only in a joking way, mentioning various "persons" for chairs at the University. McQuaid told him that it was the obligation of the University trustees to submit the statutes to the American Archbishops and Bishops before presenting them to Rome. The statutes have been placed before a commission of six Cardinals for examination. McQuaid told Keane he had a right to see them according to the council. All is not plain sailing. Ella B. Edes s slow in translating Father Richard L. Burtsell 's testimony in the Maguire case. The Rochester Union and Advertiser's article on Corrigan's reserved case letter was good. McQuaid has had to speak strongly in Corrigan's defense. Many here want peace at any cost. There is no answer yet in the Father Louis A. Lambert ase. McQuaid is afraid of a compromise, where Lambert would go back to the diocese. By happenings in Rome in favour of Lambert, a strong feeling has been created against McQuaid in Rome. McQuaid thinks all will come out all right and he will not leave until all is settled, although he is sick of the place and the life. :: I-1-i A.L.S.

The books published by Henry George were examined by the Supreme Congregation of the Holy Inquisition on Wednesday February 6, 1889 and it was decided that Corrigan should be notified that they were found worthy of condemnation. Because of the circumstances of the times and the great care that the American Prelates of the United States exercise to keep their flocks from errors, the Congregation decided that the condemnation would not be announced. They are sure that Corrigan and the other American bishops would take care that the Catholic doctrine on private property be held as it has been defined by Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII in their encyclicals as against the false theories of Henry George.

He does not intend to leave home or write until the case of Father Louis A. Lambert is settled. For some weeks, secular papers have been saying that McQuaid's provision for Lambert would not be accepted. McQuaid offered Lambert through the Propaganda -1 Scottsville, with a fine church, residence and cemetery, and pew-rent of $1100; 2. Victor, with church, residence and cemetery and pew-rent of $1400 to $1500 annually. In an financial point of view, both these places were better than Waterloo and McQuaid has no other place to put at his disposal. When the Pope approved the decision, he said Lambert should have a small parish. The decision sent to all through Cardinal James Gibbons, that a movable pastor may be removed to an inferior Parish, no longer holds good. Father Richard L. Burtsell came to Waterloo to help Lambert's cause, through James Kelly and William Dempsey. After Kelly and Dempsey refused the mild punishment imposed on them by McQuaid for bringing Father Edward McGlynn to Waterloo, McQuaid interdicted them. Burtsell then drew up an appeal to the Propaganda declaring the interdict null and void. So begins more litigation. McQuaid will not resign. They can depose him as soon as they please and he will be happy to lay down the mitre. McQuaid holds that no submission has been made. McQuaid asks that what is to be done is done quickly. When all is over, he will publish in pamphlet form all the documents in the case. McQuaid has little to say in regard to O'Connell . He came to the diocese from Southwark about 1871. O'Connell was sent from here for drunkenness about 12 years ago. McQuaid denies O'Connell's claim on the diocese. This is not the first time he has tried black-mailing. Why he rakes up poor Smelzer's case is hard to say. McQuaid longs for the day when he can lay down his burden. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 7pp. 12mo.

Lambert 's Sommario along with his own and a copy of the Rochester Herald containing an account of McQuaid's address the day of his return and Father Edward McGlynn 's speech. McQuaid is not to be held responsible for what McGlynn says. That one address was all McQuaid said in public. Everyone in this country knows that from the outbreak of the trouble McQuaid has been misrepresented. All he said was that he followed Propaganda's instructions. His name became a by-word among English people in Rome. When he received word of the decision of the Sacred Congregation he did not dream that the decision meant something else than what it says. Now the decision is set to one side and McQuaid is to let Lambert choose his own place or go back to Waterloo. What will Americans says when they read: a the Propaganda's letter to McQuaid; b the decision of the Sacred Congregation; c the letter of the Cardinal. They will say Rome does not know its own legislation. Lambert knew there was not a first class mission vacant, so he will have to go back to Waterloo. Part of the scheme is to throw Waterloo into disorder and drive out the incumbent. Three men have been at this work since Lambert's removal. They are James Kelly, William Dempsey, and Christian Marshall, encouraged by two priests, James O'Connor and William Morrin . They invited McGlynn to come to Waterloo to abuse the authorities at Rome and the ordinary of the diocese. This was a scandal of the first magnitude. Kelly and Dempsey refused to pay pew-rent to Father John J. Hickey and for these two offenses they wererequired to take back seats, but they refused. Father Richard L. Burtsell was called by them and he came to Waterloo to concoct mischief. In the meantime, McQuaid placed Kelly and Dempsy under interdict. Burtsell prepared notice of appeal to Rome which they signed. Burtsell stayed three days stirring up the bad and ill-disposed of the congregation and some Protestants joined in. It has been common talk that Lambert completes his victory by returning to waterloo. McQuaid believes the Holy Father himself is engineering the affair. He will make no change from his first offer as either place is better than Lambert deserves. Lambert's going to Waterloo means McQuaid must leave the diocese. Nothing will cause the Holy Father to pause except a joint letter from Corrigan and Archbishop John J. Williams of Boston. Some Bishops wrote to Rome in Lambert's favour. The Cardinal writes of harmony in the diocease, but lambert alone caused the disturbance. Hanna has McQuaid's confidence and can be trusted. Rome may sacrifice the honor of a Bishop, but McQuaid will defend his honour as a man. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo. 10 Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York CANY I-1-i McQuaid, Bishop Bernard Joseph, Rochester, New York, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1889 Nov. 15 McQuaid encloses his vote adhering to the choice of the Bishops of the Province. He will not attend the meeting. After finishing his episcopal work, he will undertake no more until he knows his future. Rome's treatment of his in the affair fills him with bitterness. Since Rome will not protect a Bishop's dignity, he will protect his own honor. On his return from Rome, McQuaid published the decision of the Propaganda, not dreaming it was to be kept a secret. There has been a change in sentiment toward McQuaid and Father Louis A. Lam bert, in Rome. His friends expect him to be sent back, to Waterloo. New York, over McQuaid's head. Father Richard L. Burtsell 's visit to Waterloo was for that purpose. Protestants and some bad Catholics are working with him. From Waterloo Burtsell went to Hornellsville to the rededication of Father Early's church. Bishop John Moore preached. McQuaid would save Rome from a blunder in sending Lambert back to Waterloo. On top of all comes the blunder of Archbishop Patrick John Pyan . His allusions are all over the country. O'Conner had intended to leave the diocese. Please return Father John J. Hickey's letter. McQuaid sends some newspapersf. These disturbances of all harmony in the discese are patted on the back by Rome. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

It is the best thing Corrigan can do. Corrigan will find Cardinal Mazzella a friend. He should try to get Msgr. Boccali on his side. Bishop Patrick Anthony Ludden was in Rochester. He seems that 40 or 50 parishioners have asked him to remove Father James L. Meagher. Ludden declined to interfere because Meagher would appeal to Rome and Ludden would be defeated. In no part of the world are Bishops treated as here. The Father Louis A. Lambert case was to be finally decided Dec. 16, so wrote Ella B. Edes. What will the world say when McQuaid publishes all the documents in the case, including the Tarutuffe letter, and Lambert's falsification of it in his report to the Propaganda? McQuaid avoided writing about Father Richard L. Burtsell, leaving Corrigan to his own judgement. McQuaid is delighted Corrigan has found a suitable spot for his new seminary. McQuaid is at a standstill about his. St. Andrew's is doing well this year. The Catholic University is lapsing into quiteness. There are nearly 100 atudents at Cornell University. One of the tutors is Catholic. He is at the head of a Catholic Union. At one time there was tendary among some professors toward rationalism, but this has changed of late.

Archbishop Michael A. Corrigan is obliged in conscience at this time to prevent the evil influence of Father Richard L. Burtsell. As Burtsell is doing much harm publicly and privately in New York, Corrigan proposes to transfer him to a mission in the country. As Burtsell may contest his action and appeal, Preston will lay before Jacobini the facts concerning Burtsell. Preston as Vicar General, is intimately acquainted with all parties concerned. There have been for many years in New York a few priests disloyal to the Holy See. They minimize all the declarations of His Holiness, they are opposed to parochial schools, they have spoken of saying Mass in English and of Americanizing the Church here. These generally laugh at the idea of restoring the Pope's temporal power. Father Edward McGlynn was a leader in this party until the time of his open advocacy of socialism. Burtsell has sustained him from the first. Corrigan was obliged to remove Burtsell from the position of defensor vinculi after his public approval of McGlynn's conduct. Since then Burtsell has given approval to the Anti-Poverty Society. This society prevents no poverty but collects money for McGlynn's support. Its grand principle is that property in land is unjust and that all holders of property in land are really thieves. The real purpose of this society is to sustain McGlynn in his disobedience to the Holy See. It has no other object. Corrigan has reserved absolution for the sin and scandal of attending meetings of this society. Burtsell, both privately and publicly, maintains that it is no sin. In the case of Maguire, the notorious abettor of McGlynn who died suddenly at one of these meetings, he openly declared that Maguire was a Catholic in good standing. A few days ago Burtsell brought the body of a deceased woman into his church with the highest honors after it was deemed impossible to give her a Christian burial. Burtsell has been admonished once by the Cardinal prefect of the Propaganda, but this only excited a laugh from him. Preston feels certain that Jacobini will aid Corrigan when the case comes before the Sacred Congregation. Preston feels Corrigan has every right to transfer Burtsell without inflicting upon him any censure. P.S. Corrigan knows nothing of the contents of his letter. :: I-1-i T. and A.L.S.Photostats from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 10pp. 4to.

Burtsell to a General Congregation is making government of the Church in America impossible. To force Corrigan to keep Burtsell in New York City instead of Roundout is practically to condemn Corrigan. In Corrigan's defeat, and it will be unless Burtsell goes to Roundout, all the Bishops in the country will have to suffer. As long as Rome kept the Father Louis A. Lambert case open the disturbances kept up at Waterloo. Lambert is in charge at Scottsville. McQuaid interdicted two men from going to church in Waterloo until they repented and repaired the scandal given. They had defied the authority of the pastor, refused to pay pew-rent, abused and calumniated their bishop and finally brought Father Edward McGlynn to Waterloo. The scandal given to the laity was exceedingly great. The civil courts understand Church rights better than Rome, and threw out the suits of these two men against the constables who ejected them from their pews. These two men have paid Burtsell to carry their case to Rome. Menghini is hired by Burtsell. Their plan is to torment the Propaganda until a compromise is offered. McQuaid has just written to Bishop Edgar Philip Wadhams that it would be better to wait for the action of the St. Louis Province with regard to Omaha. McQuaid thinks the Province does not want Bishop Maurice Francis Burke. McQuaid is prejudiced against Burke on account of his backing out of Cheyenne. In case the St. Louis Province does not want him, then let him go to Ogdensburg. Should he be accepted for Omaha, they can find a third candidate of Ogdensburg. It was Bishop Winand M. Wigger who suggested Father John J. O'Connor when no one else had a candidate. Bishop Stephen Ryan of Buffalo is gradually breaking down. Cardinal James Gibbons came to New York to open a fair. What he will not do to keep before the public! Corrigan should read "The Catholic Democracy of America" in the Edinburgh Review and show it to Cardinal Camillus Mazzella. McQuaid will send copies of the Ritual of the U.B. United Brotherhood, known in America as the Clan-na-gael. Some priests belong to it. The Baltimore Mirror announces that Msgr. Denis J. O'Connell is returning to Rome to resume his duties at the College. He has been sounding some American Bishops on Rome's project of establishing an ecclesiastical tribunal for the U.S. His questions were in confidence. O'Connell has not yet set foot in Rochester. Gibbons was invited to lecture before a Catholic Club at Cornell University, but gave the invitation to Bishop John J. Keane, who accepted. His lecturing would be equivalent to approving Cornell as a place for Catholic students. He did not lecture. Keane was to set out on a tour of Seminaries to get students for next year's work and McQuaid protested. McQuaid encloses a cutting from the New York Times of May 8 no enclosure. Rome must order Burtsell to Roundout. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo. 16 Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York CANY I-1-i McQuaid, Bishop Bernard Joseph, Rochester, New York, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1890 Sep. 10 In advance of news of the arrival of the Teutonic, McQuaid sends congratulations.

CANY I-1-d Shea, John Gilmary, Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Edwin L. Edgerly, New York, New York 1891 Feb. 26 Owing to his lameness, Shea gets to New York only on Fridays and Saturdays when he is at the office of the Catholic News. Other days he works away at his home in Elizabeth. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo. CANY I-1-i Clarke, Richard H., New York, New York, to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana 1891 Mar. 2 Clarke has received Edwards' kind favor with the enclosure. He thanks Edwards for his invitation to visit Notre Dame. At what date is Eliza Allen Starr' s visit expected? She can readily visit the University, but for Clarke it would be a special trip. He will endeavor to accept the invitation after Easter. Clarke sent invitations to Edwards and Father Walsh for the Washington's Birthday celebration at the Protectory. :: AI-1-i A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Corrigan must have patience with the pettiness of the Father Edward McGlynnites and Company. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Not being a member he can hardly be placed on a committee. He wishes to thank Smith and the association for the proposal. :: I-1-h A.L.S. 1p. 8vo. CANY I-1-i Wigger, Bishop Winand Michael and others, New York, New York, to Peter Paul Cahensly, Limburg, Germany 1891 Jul. 1 Several newspaper articles treating on the Memorial agreed upon at the Conference of the St. Raphael's Societies at Luzerne caused the undersigned Board of Directors of the Leo House to bring this matter up at its June 3rd meeting, and they are now acquainting Cahensly with the results. They express their warmest thanks for Cahensly's efforts in the interest of the emigrants. The Leo House was founded in New York at the suggestion of the New York St. Raphael's Society. They cannot approve of the steps of Cahensly and his co-operators of the Luzerne Memorial. It creates the impression that the St. Raphael's Society is to be made a party in existing national differences of Catholic clergy in the United States, and desires to influence the Holy See in favor of immigrated clergy. Also, the Memorial involves indirect complaint against the American Episcopacy, causing bitter feeling among them. The St. Raphael's Society in the United States has also been passed by and ignored. The demands or requests of the Memorial are altogether too far reaching. Why should Cahensly ask for ordinances which might be suitable for colonial endeavors in South America or Africa, but will not suit for conditions in America. The question of immigration will lead to great difficulties as there are now propositions in Congress to restrict or prohibit immigration. The way the Memorial has been treated in the newspapers creates the impression that Cahensly desires to influence the Holy See and representatives of European governments to interfere with internal affairs of this country, which strive on political issues. They think this view is a malicious construction but such an interpretation of the Memorial is an insult to the national pride of Americans, and can only be detrimental to foreign-born citizens, as well as to new immigrants. The undersigned consider it their duty to submit this information in order to avoid one-sided consideration of the question, and would be pleased to furnish further information if desired. The letter is also signed by William Schickel, Joseph Schaefer, P Klein, H Huebner. :: I-1-i Typed L.Photostats from N.Y. Archdiocesan Archives 4pp. 4to. CANY I-1-i Katzer, Archbishop Frederick Xavier, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1891 Sep. 6 The Bishops of the Milwaukee Province have petitioned the Holy See for erection of a new Diocese in Wisconsin. They intend to propose as dignissimus a priest of Irish descent, but from outside the Province and not of the liberal tendency of Archbishop John Ireland, whose neighbor he will be. Katzer has mentioned the name of Father Henry A. Brann, of New York, to Bishop John Vertin to be put down as dignissimus, if Corrigan can recommend him. Katzer asks Corrigan to mark his answer private. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York CANY I-1-i McQuaid, Bishop Bernard Joseph, Rochester, New York, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1891 Nov. 29 McQuaid sends a cutting to show that Clan-na-gael is not a dead body. This horrible society is divided into two factions. The more moderate met in New York last week presided over by Dr. Casey of Rochester, who finds a complacent confessor and makes sacrilegious Communions. The other faction is headed by A Sullivan of Chicago, who shot down a man in cold blood. Archbishop Patrick Feehan knows him well as he dines at the Archbishop's table. Nothing will be done as Cardinal James Gibbons, Archbishops Feehan, Peter Richard Kenrick, Patrick John Ryan, Patrick William Riordan, and John Ireland will permit no persecution of the Irish. There is little difference between the Clan-na-gael and the A.O.H. All these things will come out one of these days and the American Archbishops will not appear in a flattering light. Some think if the German element gets the upper hand, we would have braver and more Catholic legislation. :: I-1-i A.L.S. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 2pp. 12mo. CANY I-1-i Kain, Bishop John Joseph, Wheeling, West Virginia, to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, New York, New York 1891 Dec. 13 Kain is in correspondence with several Protestant ministers. One who is very rank in his antiCatholic bigotry enclosed in one of his letters a slip from the Independent of the 3rd containing what purports to be some expressions of Corrigan about the teaching of the Church and the Holy Father. Before Kain writes again to this minister, he wishes to ascertain whether Corrigan has been correctly quoted. :: I-1-i A.L.S. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 2pp. 4to.

Kain, too, has been the victim of newspaper fiends whose words have called forth a letter of enquiry from the Propaganda. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 1p. 8vo. CANY I-1-h Walworth, Father Clarence A., Albany, New York, to Sister Stanislaus 1891 Dec. 17 Walworth received her letter and regrets being absent from the funeral of Bishop Edgar P. Wadhams. The Bishop was a kinsman and he had known him long and familiarly for fifty years. He understands that Sister Stanislaus intends to collect materials for a biography and asks him for letters he may have from the Bishop. He thinks he has two or three but cannot part with the one he received this autumn for a while. He hopes that she will hold to her purpose and have the biography done in her community. If so, he can furnish information about his career in the Protestant Episcopal Seminary in New York. He was with him also for half a year when he was deacon in the Episcopalian Church having jurisdiction over Essex Country. As Catholics they were associated at Albany until he became Bishop. He asks her to write again and he may be able to help her. The Bishop's life should be written since he was by no means a common sort of character. :: I-1-h A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo. |
