Rose Howe asks the whereabouts of Father Aegidius as she has never answered his letter. She hopes to write to Aegidius the following week from Valparaiso, where she and her mother are going. From there she will send Hudson the manuscript of an article that he had asked for a year and a half ago. She supposes that her sister's books have been received by him. It is handsomely gotten up but there are a few typographical errors. Miss Howe has gained in strength and everyone finds her improved. Rose and her mother are going to remain in Valparaiso until her sister has superintended the airing of the house. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. crown 8 vo
