Hudson's letter was received and she regrets she cannot write the May article for him, as there are two ill persons in the house. Two more chapters will finish it making 18 in all and she does not know how she got through this chapter. She thanks Hudson for not hurrying her. It will cost the magazine a few dollars more, but that was not in her calculations as she was afraid it would ruin her work to chop it off abruptly. Her books and letters are on their way to Rome to be presented to the Holy Father by the Archbishop of Baltimore. Bishop John J. Keane sent her a letter in Latin. The best efforts of her pen have been for the Ave Maria. The Holy Father should send her the coveted blessing. She asks Hudson to notice in his issue of the Ave Maria that the Lippincotts of Philadelphia have brought out a new and cheaper edition of her book "Nora Brady's Vow and Mona the Vestal". The first is a story of the rebellion of 1848 and the second of the period of the introduction of Christianity into Ireland by St. Patrick. She has a royalty on the sales and would like to have Hudson compliment it, and also Hudson's friend that wrote the notice of "Tangled Paths." She has trouble with the Sadliers as the statement they sent was in error, and then they sent her an honest one with the balance due her. She would have never seen it except for Mr. Phillip. She believes publishers to be the greatest rogues living. Her son-in-law has received the sacraments after 28 years which is the result of the Novena. Her daughter Angela is free from any acute suffering. Mrs. Dorsey wishes she could get her to Lourdes. She has received the scholastic and shall read the papers on the Holy Land. De Lauley's ? book has made her feel as if she had lived there, and the papers will be like re-visiting the scenes. She hopes Brother Stanislaus is better. This chapter is the love story of Both and she thinks the young people will enjoy it. Hudson should inform her when he receives it. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
