He was pleased to hear that Hudson's name was sent to be enrolled on the register at Tours. He thanks Hudson for his prayers for his cousin, Mrs. Hornsby, and incloses some names for the register of our Lady of Lourdes. Martirom D. Lewis, who is bitterly opposed to Catholicism, is to be prayed for there at his wife's request. Mrs. Lewis lost four children in one week, and her husband would not let a priest come near them; that is why her husband's conversion is so important. He has given a medal of St. Benedict to Mrs. Lewis to place in the clothes of her husband. He hopes in this case and that of Hudson's father to soon be able to give thanksgiving. Hudson is the second priest in America to submit his name to the register for proposal to make reparation, Father Fred Garesche being the first. In 1873 he found many people dying without the last Sacraments due to the lack of priests. We should try to keep resident pastors in those places where the people are too poor to support a pastor, and to aid in the debts of the churches when the parish is unable to pay them on their own, and to help the education of the priests for those poorer parishes. He has placed under the seal of the envelope for Father Hudson a medal of Saint Benedict. A daughter of Mrs. C.K. Dickson at Georgetown convent of the Visitation has promised to pray for their intentions. He wrote to the Duke of Norfolk, and Msgr. Bayley regarding benefits for the American clergy. Pombriay has inquired of Sister Marie A. Harrison about the first origin of the Indian Mission Association. Sister Harrison referred him to Mrs. William Sherman. He wants Hudson to inform him if he ever finds the origin of the Indian Missions and to print it in his paper. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 6pp. 8vo.
