Scope and Contents

Miss Howe wonders if Hudson is aware that someone has corrected her contributions at will, but she does not believe Hudson knows of it as he has always been so liberal. She would like Hudson to put a stop to it. They weakened the effect of a moral which her sister wished to make very strong. Her sister spoke of the Archbishop of Munich as Gregorins. She translated the title from a pastoral address which she will bring with her to show to Hudson. She realizes that they are fallible as her sister works hard and she herself is caused a great deal of care being ill, and therefore a mistake could creep into a manuscript, but she would perceive her mistake as soon as it was presented to her. With regards to "My Aunt Winifred" she was charmed to see it so well divided in the Ave Maria, and with the poem of St. Joseph at the end of the first chapter. In the Mar. 24 issue she read her contribution that she wrote while she was ill and after reading it she could not believe it and asked her sister if it was possible that she wrote the article. She looked over her own manuscript and found that it differed from what appeared in the Ave Maria. The sentence contains no slang and every word is ladylike so why should it be changed. She describes her childhood days when she and her sister used to attend an Irish church, and how they used to watch the Irish women. Miss Howe and her sister are in the seventh generation from James Howe who came over on the Mayflower. Their father was of unadulterated old New England stock, so she is not actuated by malice. Their friends in Chicago are mostly Now Englanders. Miss Howe describes the Missal and rosary conversation in the present installment. It is a translation from a sermon preached by a lovely Jesuit priest in the spring of 1873, in the church of the Jesuits, Rue De Levres, in Paris. The conversation will be taken up again and Aunt Winifred will prove that she is opposed to introducing any method of prayer. The persecution suffered by Miss Bachet it what gave her the idea. Mother Angela Gillespie and Father Edward Sorin know Miss Bachet to be highly educated. She has Bishop Thomas Foley for a confessor. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 8pp. crown 8 vo.
