Howe, Frances R., Bailly Homestead, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1879 July 17
Scope and Contents
She sends a letter thinking Hudson may be pleased to see it. As to confiding their business matters to the pastor of Chesterton, they did so to Father John Lang and Charles Wardy but it only brought contempt upon themselves. The notion around there is that when people lose the income belonging to a certain station, they ought to consider themselves cut off from former associates and descend to the ranks marked for them by their means. Nothing can overthrow that idea. It is useless to try to make any pastor of Chesterton feel kindly towards them. Their method of living seems much to luxurious genteel and neat to the unsophisticated eye because the people there have no taste. She asks Hudson to return Monsignor Foschi's letter. She sent it hoping that someone at Notre Dame could read it to Hudson. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 3pp. 18mo.
