He is grateful for the kind note Hudson sent him accompanying the copies of the Ave Maria containing his, Jenkins, first published literary work. In answer to Hudson's invitation he states that his duties as pastor of two small parishes leave him ample time for writing. He is considering the possibility of revising his translation of several of Schmid's Tales for the Ave Maria. He asks for several more copies of the August 8, 1878 edition of the Ave Maria. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
