Hudson's letter was received while at Rehoboth Beach, but due to numerous interruptions, she was unable to answer sooner. These interruptions were two wrecks, two great August storms, and the almost dread of being swallowed up in the raging ocean which burst across sands 100 yards away from her hotel. The next interruption was a hotel fire and inmates barely escaped with their lives. She names several other feats that delayed her writing sooner. She describes the storms that took place in August. She informs Hudson that she hopes to have the manuscript by January, and that she will do her best to keep it within the required limits of length. She sympathizes with Hudson about the trials imposed upon him. She wonders how so many persevere amidst so many crucial tests. She encourages Hudson as God will help to the end. She asks Hudson to pray for her and her children, and to have some prayers said for her three suffering ones, Angela, Richard, and Ella. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo
