She received both Hudson's notes by the same post, and asks him to throw the missing manuscript into the fire. She should have sent him the sketch of Mother Teresa Kelly ten days ago; the delay is caused by her having given it to a friend to copy. She is grateful to see that Hudson published her account of the miracle. One needs such consolations these days, especially in France where the devil seems to be having things his own way. There is despair at the city of Paris withdrawing all government grants to the Christian Brothers, the hospitals, and good works generally. This action signs the death warrant of many of them, yet the people lie down quietly and let the infidel walk over them. Since she last wrote Hudson she has made the acquaintance of Mother Mary Angela Gillespie , and considers it a privilege and delight to have been in contact with a soul so full of love. Mother Angela probably wrote Hudson of the story she asked Miss O'Meara to write. Originally Miss O'Meara had intended it for another magazine, but when she read part of it to Mother Angela, she was advised that it exactly suits the Ave Maria. She does not know how long it will run, but she thinks about double the length of the Battle of Connemara. It is about the conversion of a young man…. She describes the story. She asks to be remembered in Hudson's prayers. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 6pp. 16mo.
