Rose believes that Father Michael M. Hallinan, of LaFayette, may have informed Hudson that she left the city on the same train as Father Hallinan. She and her mother reached their destination safely, and she received his letter upon arrival. She finds that Miss Eliza Allen Starr's notice does not appear, and realizes that the press of business and the company Miss Starr always has in Chicago at this season has kept her busy. In case Miss Starr should fail to do it, she suggests a J.A. Wilstach, a prominent Catholic of La Fayette. He is a convert, has a fine cultivated mind, and is a member of Father Hallinan's parish. He called on Miss Howe, and after reading her sister's copy was very enthusiastic and told her sister he was going to make a special study of her work and place it in his library beside Henri Lasserre's work. He has unbounded admiration for Henri Lasserre's "Notre Dame de Lourdes". Wilstach is a grey headed gentleman and to hear him talk about Lourdes you would think that graces had materialized for him. He is also a friend of her aunt, Mother Cecilia, and would gladly do this favour for her. Hallinan pronounced the book perfectly orthodox and predicts a wide circulation, and wants it circulated in LaFayette. The editor of the Central Catholic and Louisville Catholic Advocate promised a review. P.S. She has an ex-voto for the wall of Hudson's Loreto, but it is too breakable to send by Express. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. crown 8 vo.
