She rejoices in the fact that her child is rapidly convalescing. She knows the cause of her recovery is due to the prayers of the holy souls at Notre Dame. She thanks Hudson and all of them for these prayers. Her book will be out in May. Sadlier's has sent her contracts to sign and will pay her ten per cent on every copy sold. They have made no mention of when the publishing costs should be paid. She wants to know if she has the right to publish "Adrift". She thinks she has but wants to be sure before she negotiates with the publishers. Dorsey asks Hudson to advance her $150.00 for her writings in the Ave Maria as she is in dire need for financial assistance due to the illness of her child. Her children will refund the money if she dies before the stories are all written. "Cyril's Vocation" is charming. She wonders if it was first written in England or for the Ave Maria. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 5pp. crown 8vo.
