He received Hudson's note and its enclosure. He submits a story to be considered for publication in the Ave Maria. Since he does not believe that articles which boldly proclaim the value of living a holy life are very effective, he writes solely to entertain depending on a more subtle approach to produce a virtuous effect on the reader. If this manuscript is not acceptable he would appreciate having it returned at his own expense. He gives Hudson the liberty of revising any passages which he deems necessary to be changed. He leaves the question of payment entirely to Hudson's judgment. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
