She states that they received the opinion of Father Egidius Henneman, O.S.B. on the manuscript but because they did not have time to write a letter they sent his letter directly. Egidius' letter is not to be interpreted as an order to Hudson since it was not intended to be read by him and it was merely an answer to some questions she asked him. Her sister's addition to the manuscript was not meant to contradict Egidius but to show that orchestral music is not uncanonical and it appears in Papal Chapels. The gentleman she refers to is indignant that people that have never been in Rome should discredit her statements in the manuscript. She does not want Hudson to infer that they oppose real reform but she believes that many people misunderstand the spirit of the reform. She does not think that the Freeman's Journal represents the canon laws of Rome. They asked Egidius to cut out the names of Haydn and Mozart if they were forbidden composers and to add two others. She wants Hudson to return Henneman's letter. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
