Hudson's telegrams and postals received after the manuscripts called for had been forwarded. While she was straining every nerve to keep copy supplied her three daughters were ill, her son-in-law dying, and her grandson was brought to her house with a broken arm. Fortunately her story was finished and only needed putting together. She had a thousand interruptions while she worked and many times she thought she would drop dead from sudden paralysis of the heart. The story should have been two chapters longer but it was already longer than planned. Without Hudson's encouragement she does not think she would have finished it. Her daughter, Mrs. Eastman, is still in bed and probably has lost the use of her limbs, but she bears the sufferings well. She thanks Hudson for the mortar from Knock. It was dropped into a vial of holy water and her daughter is eating a small quantity daily. Except for the loss of her limbs her health is slowly mending. Her other invalids go to their home today. She hopes Hudson's health is good and advises a vacation for him. She does not know how many pages she is over the last payment. Her children send their regards. The book came and she thanks Hudson. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
