Ives thanks Hudson for the periodicals he sent. Ives has been busy moving which accounts for the delay in writing. He has read the papers that Hudson sent and so has his mother, as well as many soldiers. Ives trusts that this circulating of Catholic papers among the men of his company may sew the seed of conversion among many men who are not of his faith. His mother sends her thanks and regards to Hudson. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
