She is sending the complete manuscript of "Cyril's Vocation" instead of drawing up an outline of it that would not have given Hudson a complete story to judge. She sent it by parcel post in four parcels. If Hudson likes it, he should keep it until it can be published; if he does not like it, he should return it. Her name should be omitted if it is published. She is in disgrace with some of Hudson's readers and her fame would prejudice the readers rather than attract them. Many English people said she idealized the Irish in her little story, "The Battle" as treating them as people of saints far above the Saxon peasant and they thought she caricatured them even after this. Cardinal Manning laughed and cried when he read it at the time he was ill. It seems to encourage the conversion of Lord Alexander Lennox, his wife told Miss O'Meara. There is little chance of Lady Georgianna Fullerton giving Hudson a serial this year due to her health and the extra work that Lady Lothian's death has thrown on her. Miss O'Meara sent her manuscript in case Lady Georgianna Fullerton does not send one. What a story the real experience of Father Dennis' poor friend, Mrs. Byuette, would make, but truth is far better than fiction sometimes. She asks Hudson if he has read in the Catholic World a narrative called Michel le Lombre. Lady Herbert has been to see Miss O'Meara, and she saw the heroine in the flesh and introduced to them a fair modest woman, much different from the one they had fancied. She commends herself and those dear to her to Hudson's prayers. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
