The cause for the delay in answering his letter was due to her sister's illness. She asks Hudson to pray for her, and to recommend her to the prayers of the Confraternity of our Lady of the Sacred Heart. She thinks it presumptuous of her to think that she could write columns as good as those in the Ave Maria, but she did not become discouraged when Hudson told her that he had no room. Her taste is for little historical sketches. She sends a sample of her work so that Hudson might tell her what her qualifications are. Since Hudson has no room for her work in the Ave Maria, she asks for advice as to where else she may take her work, and would like an answer very soon. She added a note saying that she has received a French education, and that she can translate French into English very well. :: X-2-d- A.L.S. 5pp. 8vo.
