Howe, Rose, Bailly Homestead, Chesterton, Indiana, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1877 April 16

 Item — Box: CHUD 1
Identifier: CHUD X-2-d

Scope and Contents

Miss Howe is aware that McMaster of the Freeman's Journal has severely criticized and threatened to stop publication of her story "Aunt Winifred". She believes his censure is uncalled for since she intended the article to be a factual account which would teach practical lessons in strict accordance with the laws of the church. She thinks that she is well qualified to write about the evils of a mixed marriage since she herself is an off-spring of one and because she has had much experience with the marital laws that existed before priests were available to perform the ceremony. Furthermore she did not mean to approve mixed marriages but to show how wrong they are. Because of her nervous disposition this uncertainty and criticism is detrimental to her health; therefore she would appreciate it if Hudson would give his opinion on the matter and in the future send her copies of critical reports on her work. Because of her illness her mother is moving her to Fort Wayne but she wants the Ave Maria to be sent to Chesterton. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
