She apologizes for delaying so long her answer to Hudson's letter of Nov. 22, 1875. She sends him the good wishes of the whole community for the prosperous continuance of the Ave Maria. They would like to see a French issue of the Ave Maria; it would be easy then to secure a little corner of it now and then for contributions of some kind, for most of them know no English. As it is, they can enjoy the best articles only by means of a poor translation. Recently the Mother Superior was pleased by such a translation. The Mother has permitted Sister St. Josephine to accept Hudson's offer about the life of Father Jogues with some hesitation, for she is not sure it will be done properly. Sister St. Josephine asks if the manuscript should be written on one side of the page only, and begs Hudson to overlook any minor faults. She encloses $1. for the St. Cecilia Society. Two 50¢ bills are for missing members of the Ave Maria. She asks for some back issues of the Ave Maria, and requests Hudson's prayers. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
