Miss Howe encloses a pamphlet written by Father Hermit sent by the Superior of the Camaldolensi at Naples. She placed strips of paper between the pages containing the list of indulgences attached to the Rosary of Our Lord when the beads have been given by the Camaldolensi. The paragraphs enclosed in brackets are those where Mass privileges are mentioned. Miss Howe asks Hudson to take care of her book and return it. She believes that O.S.B. books are just as incontrovertible as S.J. books. In regard to the quotation from the work of A. Maurel, S.J., she does not think it had due observation of the context and it was hurriedly written. There are indulgences attached to hearing Mass under certain conditions, but those conditions are so easy to perform that it is almost impossible to hear Mass without gaining an indulgence. One of the sisters of St. Mary's of the Woods has in her possession a black letter edition of a work written two centuries ago by Father Mueller on indulgences. It consists chiefly of how to make indulgences applicable to the souls in Purgatory and contains a number of ways by which indulgences can be gained by hearing Mass. But it must be remembered that hardly a Church in Italy is without a privileged altar where all seek to hear Mass. Miss Howe's sister Rose Howe is very ill and life is dispaired by everyone who sees her. She writes this letter for her, and says that there have been many forgeries of indulgences but this case has nothing to do with that. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4 pp. 8vo.
