She has been unable to answer his letter of November 15 because she and her sister have been making the Jubilee, and have been so fatigued by the long walks to the parish church that they have not had sufficient time to write. At first she delayed answering Hudson until her sister had completed the index of subjects that he said he would be glad to receive. But the final cause of her delay was a serious fall she suffered which invalided her for two days. In a few days Hudson will receive a portion of the manuscript relating to Louise Lateau. She is happy to serve a journal like the Ave Maria. As to the the other good works, she will be happy to replace the chalice in their parish Church, giving something befitting the great Mystery. By doing so she may also disarm the anger of the congregation which is incensed at the fact of someone's being rich enough to go to Europe, and yet not contribute towards the erection of the new Church. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
