She encloses a sonnet appropriate for publication on the feast on St. Sebastian. She was happy to see her "Capuchin Chapel" published in the Ave Maria and she hopes that "St. Ambrose" will be printed in the near future. If Hudson has hesitated to publish "St. Ambrose" because of her statement when sending it that it was intended only for the Children's Department he may brush aside this objection. She adapted it to a young audience in accordance with Hudson's previously expressed wish but she gives Hudson full permission to place her contributions to the Ave Maria wherever he thinks they will prove most effective. Their cave-like imitation of the Crib at Betheleham incites great devotion in the huge crowds that visit it. As the new year is almost at hand she is eagerly waiting to see what her gift from the Ave Maria will be. While the past year has been very difficult for her to endure now that she has almost completely regained her health the outlook for the coming year appears very promising. The poem concerning the Blessed Sacrament which Hudson had asked her to evaluate has since appeared in the English "Angelus" with acknowledgements to the Ave Maria. She sends Hudson a beautiful sermon for the Ave Maria which was sent to her by Mr. Hutchison. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. and a small insert.
