Because of her business in Chicago she has not rested as much as Hudson may think. Although her story will probably be late for the Assumption edition of the Ave Maria she hopes that it will still be of value. It is her fondest prayer that after the early retreat Hudson was given the same assignment for the coming year. She was pleased to read Miss Howe's article directed to the adverse readers of "Aunt Winifred", and especially the compliment it paid to the editor. She thinks it took bravery to write the way Miss Howe did. On the feast of St. Lawrence she would like Hudson to pray for the conversion of her sister-in-law. She wishes she had sent Hudson one of the beautiful pictures of Daniel, the prophet, which are found in the catacombs. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
