He asks Hudson to send the Ave Maria to the address given and send a bill for the inconvenience. He cannot afford to pay for any except his own until he is well as he has heavy expenses. He does not know when he will return to his poor parish of Plymouth, Pennsylvania. He hopes the Ave Maria is widely circulated in his parish, as it will protect the faith of the people in Pennsylvania. He can do nothing but pray that good Catholic papers will be patronized. Catholicity has gone backward in Pennsylvania since the death of Bishop John N. Neumann, now the priesthood in Pennsylvania is in a dreadful state. He is happy that the buildings of Notre Dame are rising more magnificent then before. A Catholic college is a treasure to a country. Public schools are destroying the country as well as faith and morality. It is dreadful to know the name of the Redeemer and His Blessed Mother must not be mentioned in those schools. He is surprised the Bishop does not forbid the Catholics to send their children to the public schools. He wishes Hudson success in rebuilding Notre Dame. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
