She tells Hudson that she was a frequent contributor to the Ave Maria some years ago under the name of "Charie S. Sillon". She never asked or received any remuneration, but the work of earning a living forced her to resign her favorite corner in the "Children's Department". She does not want to neglect her talent, and wants to combine this talent with earning a living. She tells Hudson to return the manuscript if he does not desire to purchase it. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. royal 8vo.
