She has received payment for the Ave Maria from Mrs. Robert Welsh, Miss Julia McCarthy, Mrs. P. J. Saunders and Mrs. Michael Kilian. Two others may pay her next week while three wish to discontinue their order. They are Mrs. Thomas J. Griffin, Mrs. David Ronan and Mrs. Leslie. She will keep the money until she finds out if the others will pay. She asks if she may take her payment for "Consolation" from this. She is anxious to hear from Hudson as Miss Churchill told her that she heard, Miss Emery was disappointed with Cyril and Angela. Only the fact of the story being true reconciles her, and that not wholly. She cannot express hereself clearly in a letter. It is Saturday morning and still no word from Hudson. P.S. This business has been transacted except on one instance through Cornelius Connors. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
