Scope and Contents

She sends a poem very dear to her over which she has worked for some time. She asks Hudson if he knows of any case where the mother was placed in a room with her infant by persons who wished her to deny her Faith, but was not allowed to go to it unless she denied the Lord, thus watching the infant starve. She has heard of it in connection with Japanese Martyrdom in September of 1624. It was told by a Protestant and she wants the Catholic original. While Monica the mother was being tortured, our Christians, Caius, Pinas, Organtine, Tanxu and his wife Lucy, were being martyred by slow fire. It is supposed to have taken place in western Japan at Nangasaqui. She has been praying to Our Lady for 17 months, saying the Memorare for certain things, and now it seems the answers are beginning to come. She asks Hudson to ask the Virgin to make her obey and to give her the blessing she craves. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 3 pp. 8vo
