Letter in letterbook from J. H. Woodward to Curran Mendel, April 12, 1886
No full textA document from an extensive collection spanning four generations of the Woodward family that operated merchant pig iron companies in West Virginia and Alabama. The collection begins with Stimpson Harvey Woodward (S. H. Woodward), a native of Massachusetts, who moved from Pittsburgh to Wheeling, West Virginia in 1852. He had interests in an iron company as early as 1852 in West Virginia and began Alabama operations in 1869. The family business continued in Alabama until the death of S. H. Woodward's great-grandson in 1965
Letter from M.J. Curran to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.J. Curran, 211 (North Circular Road) Dublin, to Hagan, sketching his journey via St. Honore where the memory of St. Patrick is much honoured, and via Paris where at the Irish College he said Mass and met Fr. Gallagher now already in Rome. The [Bishops] inquired after Hagan; Curran found out only that they had called on Ceretti who told them that Luzio had not called on him either before or after his mission- Ceretti thought the mission injudicious. Dublin is quiet, though arms searches are carried out at customs in Dun Laoghaire; the city is mostly interested in the Croker case. Dr. Codd suffers from ill health again. [Enclosing) an account sheet (not extant); asking to settle a financial matter. Concerning Bobbio, suggesting the formation of a committee and information bureau in Ireland, including Conn and H. Briscoe. Cardinal Logue undertook to send some Irish bishops
Letter from M.J. Curran to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.J. Curran, Holy Cross College, Clonliffe, Dublin, to Hagan � the very welcome news have arrived: 'we shall be a happy family with kindred friends'. Asking for advice on what to bring out for personal purposes, and for the canonisation process; expecting to arrive Easter week because of work for process 1. Adding that there is a 'new stunt from Lord Northcliffe � Dominion H. Rule for � Ireland (and) a separate Ulster Parl.[iament]'; like all the others he is too late. Reporting that the Sinn Fein round-up was largely a failure, and Barton's capture accidental
Land cover classification using multi-temporal MERIS vegetation indices
No full textThe spectral, spatial, and temporal resolutions of Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) data are attractive for regional- to global-scale land cover mapping. Moreover, two novel and operational vegetation indices derived from MERIS data have considerable potential as discriminating variables in land cover classification. Here, the potential of these two vegetation indices (the MERIS global vegetation index (MGVI), MERIS terrestrial chlorophyll index (MTCI)) was evaluated for mapping eleven broad land cover classes in Wisconsin. Data acquired in the high and low chlorophyll seasons were used to increase inter-class separability. The two vegetation indices provided a higher degree of inter-class separability than data acquired in many of the individual MERIS spectral wavebands. The most accurate landcover map (73.2%) was derived from a classification of vegetation index-derived data with a support vector machine (SVM), and was more accurate than the corresponding map derived from a classification using the data acquired in the original spectral wavebands
Two Letters from M.J. Curran to Hagan
No full textTwo holograph letters from M.(J. Curran) 338 East 29th Street, New York (United States of America) to Hagan. Commenting on the move from St. Agatha's, expressing his preference for leaving the monument to O'Connell's heart behind – 'it is too Englishy and at best is mediocre' – and raise money in the States for a shrine, combining it with the centenary of Emancipation – there is much interest in the matter. Brief references to the need for a spiritual director, the Lateran classes, the Tizi protest. Commenting on the recent behaviour of Canice [O'Gorman O.S.A.]; guessing that the hierarchy at home sees through him; his efforts especially to curry favour with the 'F.S. bigwigs' left him floundering. Some reference to the people he will seek out in his campaign. Discussing the question of bestowing about fifty Roman titles to [donors of substantial sums]; Sbarretti is to be involved; discussing in particular one slightly dubious petitioner, O'Leary Scratton, very rich. Offering speculations again on the ultimate sum that can be gathered; only a direct personal appeal- impossible- from Cardinal O'Donnell could attain anything big. Possibility of gaining a good sum from James J. Ryan, Philadelphia, for instance; stating his difficulty in trailing potential donors; Cardinal Hayes is not helpful seeing the much greater need of the North American College. Then commenting on competition and particularly Fr. Sweetman's campaign for the Gorey Benedictine school: aided by a professional charity-drive organiser and by propaganda for his school, he drops names of past pupils and their further achievements. Commenting that his booklet is a diplomatic masterpiece, that the Bishop of Ferns ought to inform Cardinal Hayes of the fact that the school is one for rich snobs and West Britons. Describing his efforts in Chicago where he must return on 1 March. The A.(ncient) O.(rder of) H.(ibernians) is most helpful everywhere, singling out Mrs. Horan of Pittsburgh; somebody of importance ought to come to represent the cause during their convention – urging Hagan to come himself. Mentioning the Bishop of Los Angeles- glad Hagan wrote to him. Encouraging him to court the 'Marchese' [...] who has a great name for charity in church matters. Protesting again that he had no intention to force Hagan's hand in the affair concerning 'D.' [student Dineen for Sydney]; Hagan ought to speak his mind immediately in cases like this; discussing what he conceives to be Hagan's 'reticence' in College matters. (First letter lacks a signature and may be fragmented.) Adding more information on Fr. S.(weetman) who actually seeks to found a school and monastery. Curran has at last located Frank P. Walsh
Letter from M.J. Curran to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.(J. Curran), St. Bernard's Rectory, 340 West 66th Street, Chicago, Illinois (United States of America), to Hagan. He missed Frank Walsh in Kansas City. He had some long talks with Archbishop Curley of Baltimore, as prejudiced over the Free State as ever, with information supplied by Bishop Fogarty – he gave private subscriptions towards the Irish College, however. At the Irish Fellowship Club banquet, he was introduced to many, and hopes for good results. Observing many Irish Americans were made Knights of Malta; asking about Marquis Moloney. Comments on Doheny's trial, now an indictment of the Harding administration. Stating he does not feel lonely; praising Monsignor Ryan for his counsel and friendship. One of Curran's old friends died before he could look him up again. While Mrs. McWhorter is ill, she helps the project through her contacts in the A(ncient) O(rder of ) H(ibernians) who seem to need a fresh aim. Mentioning 'a big coup' planned by himself. Stating confidently that according to Curley the American bishops are indignant over the cost of the U.S.A. College grounds [Rome]. Then stating that the Ancient Order in California and here urges him to stay until the convention in July; expressing personal reluctance but belief it would do much; asking Hagan to come out too. Asking for news on Bisleti; also 'everybody is asking me about O'Connell's heart'. [12-16 December 1926

Letter from M.J. Curran to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.J. Curran (Dublin), to Hagan, about to do chaplaincy duty at Jervis Street Hospital. 'The fighting is extending (and) is hotter'; delineating the worst area between Liffey and Parnell Square � also 'the cannonading of the Four Courts sounds frightful (and) I am told there are any amount of wounded in the Irish Market'. Everybody expects fighting that is drawn out. They use mostly shrapnel on the Four Courts and save it from heavy shells. People are 'queerly indifferent' and would replace the existing politicians by Independent Pro-treaty people. The poorer Labour element is 'ignorantly' anti-treaty but that will not help the impending starvation of central Dublin. [Dr.] McCartain commented on Fr. Magennis's anti-treaty views. Fr. H. O'Neill had better not come to Ireland
