Emery, Susan L., Dorchester, Massachusetts, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1879 June 3
Scope and Contents
She has just read a book by Madame Craven, which seems to be a new work. It has the imprint "Didier Cie, Paris, 1879". She does not know if it has been translated and wonders if there is any harm in her making use of it in the enclosed article. If suitable for the Ave Maria she believes it would be good to use it while it is still fresh to the people. She asks Hudson if people still give up their all and serve for prose as the ladies of Naples did? She has an idea for another article illustrating a poor woman in Italy. It would treat of shrines and miracles. Is Hudson interested? She received a letter from Mother Abbess of the Convent of Poor Clares who tells her that a Mrs. Parsons is going to publish a life of Sister Colette and wants Miss Emery to secure a circulation in America. She is delighted with "St. Philip's Memory in Rome" but what about "Cyril's Vocation"? Is there any information at Notre Dame on the founding of the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception, as she needs some? She saw Brother Francis last Sunday after Benediction but their talk was too short. She believes that she and Hudson would talk fast if she ever got to see him. She asks Hudson to pray for her. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
