Starr's manuscript of the story of Bishop John McMullen is finished and has only to be read by two clergymen to detect any errors. She always fears delays from them. Starr's own delays in finishing the work on McMullen were due to delicate health overtaxed by work on her book. She has been ill the past year. She wonders how anyone has the courage to bring out a book and lecture courses. Now that the manuscript on McMullen is done she will begin the other two lives. These she will not connect but leave to Clarke to work in. She had a more personal idea of McMullen. Starr is complimented by being elected a member of the U.S. Catholic Historical Society. She will send the yearly dues of $10.00. Starr praises Clarke's article on the processes of canonization which appeared in the World. When the slips of Lives of the Martyrs come, she will send Clarke a copy. How can they expect their artists to paint saints enthusiastically until they have some of their own. She has sent some poems to Father Daniel Hudson. P.S. The copies will be bound within a few days. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
