Paul has received the remittance for the letters on the death of Pius IX, but not on the articles on Easter and wants Hudson to remit if he is going to use them. Paul is sending a piece of music written in the spirit of the Ave Maria. He has two others that will be ready soon, and reserves all copy-right as well as a charge of $15 for publication in the Ave Maria. If Hudson publishes them, he might add something about the nature of the music- not Church music, yet breathing religious sweetness. Paul says that were he the censor of church music for one year, he would eliminate the Tantum Ergo and vesper hymns as they sound more like the opera. Paul received the Swiss letters and he is very sorry not to have met Father Sorin when he was there. Paul is going to call on Hudson's friend, Mr. Hoban, who was on ceremonies at Dr. Chatard's consecration. The Roman Letters in the Catholic World are his and thinks that they will be continued, and he wants to know if the New Orleans Morning Star could afford a Roman Correspondence as he would like to write for it. He supports himself and his brother, and wants Hudson to help him if possible. P.S. He adds his address. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. crown 8vo.
