Ffrench sends a story and a sketch by his mother and will be satisfied with whatever Hudson thinks they are worth. His purse is very lean and he is unable to help himself. He asks Hudson to keep the affair private. Ffrench wants to get enough money together so he can take a trip east as California does not agree with him. If the Ave Maria does not pay for contributions, Hudson is to use them as he sees fit. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 3pp. crown 8vo.
