Mary L. Meany expresses gratitude to Hudson for the ten dollars she received from him and for the graces of the last few weeks which she is sure are a result of his prayers. She explains why his prayers were so highly valued. When she first spoke of the order of the Immaculate Conception to her confessor, the Encyclical of Pio Nono regarding secret orders seemed to show her that she was to have an active part in the struggle between the Church and those secret orders. Her confessor and other priests offered the Mass in order to obtain special graces for her. She did not understand her future work then but now she does and asks Hudson for help to undertake the work against the secret orders. She received an inspiration and with the money Hudson sent her begins a magazine called St. Patrick. She asks Hudson to advance $50.00 to her for what she will write for the Ave Maria this year as well as the next, so that she can carry on her crusade. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. 8 vo
