Miss Meany has sent the first part to Hudson and fears the translation poor. She cannot work in long spells yet as she has had a season of utter prostration. She thanks Hudson for his sympathy, but tells him that she is getting used to so many disappointments. She is glad the Ave Maria is against Victor Emanuel as every choir sent representatives in his honor at the Italian church. She comments on how the world has changed since Pio Nono died. She tells of material she was collecting, when taken ill, of societies and devotions in the parishes and especially of those established by the Sisters of Notre Dame, and is wondering if Hudson would like such sketches for the Ave Maria. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. crown 8vo.
