He thanks Hudson for his letter and for correcting his paper. He did not see Mrs. Ellen Sherman when she passed through St. Louis but it was just as well since he was not prepared to prove the acceptance of his proposition. He fears that a European war is imminent and the refugees which the realization of this fear will bring will have a definite need for St. Martin's Organization for Collecting Clothing for the poor. He would like to have his translated version of the rules of this organization printed immediately after they are finished printing the life of Dupont. He requests prayers that he may raise a fund to support priests in neighborhoods where the few or poor Catholics can not do so. He and a woman suffering with cancer are making a novena to Dupont. They would like Hudson to pray for their intention so that if it pleases God he may show his love for Dupont by answering their prayers. He wants Hudson to send him the leaves containing Dupont's biography. He believes that the universal clause in the organization which he intends to found will serve to unite the dislocated Christians in our cities. Mrs. Sherman has given permission to use her name in the behalf of this association but he is waiting further word from her before he adds it to this request and rules for the association. He is happy that Hudson will continue to serve as editor of the Ave Maria. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
