Because of the fact that most nuns totally lack knowledge of the Church's rules pertaining to the dispensations of the fasting regulations her illness has reoccurred with all of its vileness just at a time when she had almost completely regained her health. Inaccordance with the doctor's order the nuns fed her meat on a day of abstinence but because of their unjustified disagreement with the dispensation they cooked it so coarsely that it almost caused her death. She hopes that someday the nuns will learn the dispensations of the Church as well as they learn the rules. Since she now knows the complete story of the refusal to bless their, the Howe's, chapel she will tell it to Father General when she next goes to Notre Dame. The nun in the infirmary would have let Hudson borrow the "Rosier de Marie" but she had already sent it to another convent. Contrary to the general belief in Church circles she states that the Church does revere some statues more than others. She had lent her rosary with its many attached indulgences to a doctor. Now she wonders whether she has completely lost all the benefits and blessings attached to it since she lent it to him. The response to her sister's circular appeal for subscriptions to her book has not been nearly as successful as expected; therefore, they are hoping that the announcement in the Ave Maria will bring the desired results. The Mother Superior at the convent has received several acceptance letters by mistake which she destroyed or threw aside. She asks whether some other arrangement could be made with the publishers if the required number of subscriptions are not obtained. She suggests one other possible method of proceeding. Her sisterFrances Howe would like to know whether Hudson plans to write her a letter of introduction to Kelly, Piet, Co. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
