Miss O'Meara has been absorbed with the calamity at Notre Dame. The story of the city, it's rise and crowning trial of faith reads like an old legend and the beauty of it will be complete when September sees the school raised from its ruins to the power of the mother of God by the energy of her children in Indiana. Father Dennis dined with them and he is interested in the trial as if he witnessed the fire, and would gladly lend a hand to trundle a wheel barrow and his would not capsize like Father Granger's but this is his Irish conceit. She would be too glad to let Cyril be printed in book form but she is under orders to Cardinal Manning not to let it be seen in England. Hudson must guarantee her that it will be sold to the Ave Maria office and to the readers of the Ave Maria. She will give her permission to reprint under these conditions and she would like a dozen copies. Her name will not appear, the mystery will increase interest. She will correct the numbers and send them to Hudson for the press. Asks Hudson's blessing. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
