Not wishing to antagonize the Cecilian writers any further and feeling that it would be prudent not to address them at all she asks Hudson to attach a footnote to "Aunt Winifred" informing them that this story was written many years prior to the formation of their society; consequently, Aunt Winifred's remarks could not have been spoken to the Cecilia-ites. From her own experience she seriously doubts whether those who advocate the sole use of Gregorian chant in the Church can distinguish this type of music from dramatic music. She herself finds Cecilia music pleasant to hear but she believes that opposition develops as a result of national feelings. Being that Cecilia music is essentially German choral preferences for their own national music make it very difficult for people of Irish and Italian ancestry to approve of it. She sympathizes with the position of the Irish. Letter incomplete. :: X-2-d A.L. 2pp. 12mo.
