Scope and Contents

Kelly, Piet Co. mislaid her sister's letter and failed to answer important questions. She is surprised that the American papers do not appreciate such a sublime victory of the Pope's infallibility over the king. She talks of the consolation that the doctrine of infallibility gives to the Pope. Hudson's account of the fallen king reminds her of a visit to Basle and mentions some incidents there. Howe went to little Basle as hotels are cheaper there. They were very contented. She describer a Dance of Death in nine frescoes at little Basle that excels in horror and wierdness all other Dances of Death. It was painted during a 15th century plague. The principal objects of interest to the tourist in Little Basle are the architectural and artistic works of benighted Catholics of the dark ages, taken over by the Protestants later. She is suffering from indigestion, liver pains, and sleeplessness, as well as coughing. She does not expect an answer but thought Hudson may be interested in her Catholic view of Basle. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 6pp. 8vo.
