She has returned to New York and tells Hudson that everyone there, as elsewhere, sympathizes in Notre Dame's loss, but she is very thankful that the Church and the Ave were spared and is making a special thanks giving. Her health is still delicate but a physician said he could cure her and she asks Hudson to pray for her. She enclosed a $100 to aid in the rebuilding of the University, and she tells Hudson that even though her husband never refused to give to a Catholic Charity he was opposed to supporting the Church and said that without money the Catholic Church would not stand a day, and that is why she has always wanted her donations kept in secrecy, but now, she is very proud to be able to be one of the first to contribute to Hudson for Notre Dame's calamity. She asks that he continue sending the Ave to Father John Bapst and send her regards to Father Provincial. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. crown 8 vo
