Miss Howe has sent the requested translation to Hudson with an introduction that may be too long. She has heard from Father Aegidius Hennemann whose letter is like a leaf out of some monastic chronicle as it is so affectionate and full of common sense. She encloses a letter which her mother received from Mother Angela. Miss Howe does not own the life of Pere Besson but has an extract of it that she received from a good nun who kept her supplied with French Catholic literature. She also has extracts of Corpus Christi which she copied. She relates how her sister Rose used to enjoy writing so much while she herself is much handier with a needle than at writing. The conduct of the priest from Chesterton who says Mass once a month in their private chapel does them more harm than good as he is impertinent and unkind. Father Julian Benoit sympathizes with them and will do most anything for them, and she wants to know what they should ask him to do for them. Rose's funeral services were held in their chapel. One of the insults happened shortly after the burial of Rose when he gave a sermon about being too proud to be buried with the poor. Father Benoit told them that if they did not get along with this priest they could have any other priest in the diocese and they didn't seem to get along with him even when they try to excuse his faults. She is wondering what Father Benoit would say if she suggested anything like that to him and also if they would be a parish by themselves or would they have to go to the parish nearly two miles distant. Miss Howe wants to know what Hudson thinks. When the Holy Cross priests supplied their spiritual needs they received nothing but kindness. She mentions the notice of Rose's death in the Ave Maria and asks Hudson if he had seen the very touching one in McGee's last issue. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 6pp. crown 8 vo.
