Hoban, Marion, Washington, D. C., to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1879 July 28
Scope and Contents
She encloses a versification of the "Prayer of the Prince Imperial" for the Ave Maria. She wishes to keep it as nearly as possible to the original. The prayer is destined to a holy mission as he has attracted numerous persons outside as well as inside the church. This prayer has produced a strange sensation to those who read it because the dead Prince composed it. They never associate youth and exalted position with the aspirations to a higher life. In purity of sentiment and in the death of self love it is worthy of an Aloysious or a Francis Xavier and it is a religious gem. Enclosed also is a brief "In Memoriam." A poem to Prince Eugene, Louis Jean, Joseph, Napoleon. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 18 mo.
