An old boy read an article in the Ave Maria, "we love a thing in proportion to what it has cost us." The old boy relates that this is generally true but not always as the Lord has cost him little and yet he loves him more than anything, so much so that heaven would not be acceptable without him. Van Gennip wants to know if the old boy is correct. He encloses a sentence he wishes to have translated for the Ave Maria as he is certain that it will be read by Hudson's numerous well wishers. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. crown 8 vo
