Meany, Mary L., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1877 June 2

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

Scope and Contents

She is sorry that she had to conclude "Our Lady's Work" without the particulars of several cures which she had intended to include. In order to conform with Notre Dame's policy of no publicity for Our Lady's miraculous work at Notre Dame she had to abridge the last part of the story. She believes that Notre Dame is overly modest in this regard. If the leading institutions in the nation brush off this responsibility where are the lay people to look for guidance? She refers to "ex votos" which Hudson mentioned in his letter to her. In the past the suppression of this custom by the clergy had always been a source of indignation to her. She is sending a historical sketch for the children's department of the Ave Maria. She commends the penpaintings of Miss Starr's. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
