Starr, Eliza Allen, Chicago, Illinois, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, CSC, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1879 March 6

 Item — Box: CHUD 2
Identifier: CHUD X-2-e

Scope and Contents

Enclosed are two articles and Hudson should take his choice between them and mail the other one without delay. Something that Hudson said about her articles for the Children's Department got her thinking that the articles required too much culture. If all these slanders on the Catholic people are true, then we should go to work and give our children this Christian culture which has so much to do with the understanding of the religion, enriched by 1800 years of prayer, turned into poetry and music. It is not plausible that our children cannot be made to understand what is in the mouths of Protestants. Protestant writers have been bringing changes in their subjects. They have taken poetry of Catholic times and told it in Protestant measure. Hudson must pardon this outburst, but let her address the children as those who desire culture. Our people are sorrowfully in want of culture and the way to cure this is to familiarize their minds with the subjects, put a higher standard of culture before them and wean them from the love of riches. She was urged to do this type of article in Rome and by her confessor, Monsignor Silas M. Chatard . Hudson should not forget her in his St. Joseph devotion. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. crown 8 vo.
