Ryder thanks Hudson for his letter and tells him that the copies he ordered were mailed Saturday. He thanks Hudson for his good opinions of his verses and he hopes they are only half as good as Hudson claims they are. He is very grateful for Hudson's kindness and attention, and he is glad to read reports of progress in rebuilding Notre Dame and wishes him much success. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. royal 8 vo
