Egan received Hudson's letter containing the remittance and the excerpt which he promptly ordered to be printed. The conditions under which he operates the Illustrated Weekly are not ideal especially since he is not allowed to remunerate the writers for their contributions. Despite this handicap, however, his burden is lightened by the kindness of the people with whom he works. It is his belief that the Ave Maria, already one of the best Catholic magazines, is steadily advancing to a state of perfection. He sends his greetings to Prof. James F. Edwards. He is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the photograph of Hudson that was promised to be sent in Hudson's last letter. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3 pp. 32mo
