He did not expect an answer to his letter when he read of the disaster at Notre Dame. He thanks Hudson for his kindness in writing under the circumstances. He was shocked at the sad news about the college and regrets he can do more than sympathize. He is sure the college will be built again soon. He is teaching with his old friends, the Christian Brothers as they opened their Academy three years ago and have been very successful. They have 310 day students and 20 boarders. The building is wood. The Christian Brothers now have five establishments in California. They deserve all the success they have achieved because of their kindness. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
