Miss Rose Howe wrote to the cure' of Bois de Haine for the authentic account of Louis Latean's condition and enclosed a draft of about two dollars. The banker gave her a voucher and told her if the money weren't drawn out in six months the money would be returned to her. When she sent the voucher to her aunt, Mother M. Cecelia, who sent a Sister to the Bank of Hamilton and McCulloch, the money had been drawn, so the book must have been sent to Hudson. Miss Howe wants him to see if he can locate it. She tells Hudson of a copy of a letter she received from the Directress of the Sisters of Providence in a Kalamazoo, Michigan in answer to a letter from a Sister of Providence of Fort Wayne soliciting subscribers for the Ave Maria. Miss Howe begs that the good name of the Sisters in Kalamazoo not be made unpleasant because of the letter. The copied piece from the letter says that the Pastor there forbids his people to read the Ave Maria as it is a tissue of falsehood. The nuns at the convent were speechless when they heard it as they regard the Ave Maria very highly. Miss Howe includes the manuscript of her sister which is to clarify and contradict former incorrect articles written on the corporeal beauty of Our Lord which contain wise sayings, but no true arguments. Her sister has gone to much effort to obtain information from proper sources, and has compiled the information into an answer for the Ave Maria . It is in the form of an essay, and Hudson may use it the way he desires. Miss Howe then relates how suddenly a nun died while waiting for the Mass bell to ring and expecting to receive Holy Communion in three quarters of an hour. She says that Father General has promised after her death a black Mass will be said for her on Hudson's privileged altar as soon as the news is received. She wants Father Hudson to know this in case Father General is away when she dies. She is still very weak. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 6pp. crown 8 vo.
