She encloses the design for the frontispiece which she received from Sister Maurice. She thinks Hudson will urge the insertion of it in the book. His position gives him access to engraving firms. Miss Eliza Allen Starr is ill and cannot help her by going to any Chicago firms. Anyhow she always opposed the school of art to which Sister Maurice adheres more than she aid that of Luigi Gregori. She would not like the design. Miss Starr is an advocate of the Turner School and it would take more than one year's study in Italian galleries to reconcile her with other schools equal to her favorite. Miss Howe thinks Kelly, Piet Co. suspect her of desiring to play a trick on them. Then will not take the article as they do not wish to be responsible for the expense, but she has no intentions of doing this, and is not thinking of shirking the expense. She merely wishes to beautify the volume. Even though it is an added expense, she desires printed matter around the Seraph because it forces people to learn the instruction intended to be conveyed by the illustration. Sister Maurice avoided all similarity to Turgir's seraph and has produced one that is not angelic, though very pretty and full of strength. Mr. Griggs calculates $675.00 per 1000 and Kelly, Piet Co., $500.00 per 1000, $175 for the frontispiece. Hudson has studies the matter and will see the fitness of her plans while the publishers would not. If she does not have it done in Baltimore, about all that can be done about the size is to have made the largest 12mo. ever issued and have the publisher cut it to suit. A thousand copies are needed. She knows of no one else of whom she could ask assistance and is sorry to have to trouble Hudson. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. crown 8 vo.
