Hudson's letter received. She is sorry Hudson is confined to his room but glad for the rest he will receive. Hudson's expression of her gratified her. Her best work was written for the Ave Maria. When she received buffets instead of commendations, she oftentimes vowed never to write again. She is not referring to Hudson asking her to bring the last story to a close as it was too long. She was sure Hudson did not write the notice of "Tangled Paths". Mr. McGee omitted Natalie who is really the pivot on which the whole story turns. It was like "Hamlet" with the ghost left out. She hopes Hudson will write a review of it. She offers Hudson "Tom Boy" which is full of merry life, many of the scenes from her own child life, for the children's department. Another story would be the "Young Crusader" who died a natural death. She was at one time one of the greatest tom-boys that lived. It is a Catholic story without preaching. She has written to Father Byrne, as a matter of form, for the right to republish these Tales. Hudson may have them for $60. They are 12 short chapters each. She thanks Hudson for the German copy of Caina. She was gratified to see it translated. It was the first of her stories published by the pirate O'Shea and Father Sorin must have given him authority to bring it out. She has to regard all publishers as swindlers and frauds. She thought Mr. McGee a little hypercritical about the use of French words which were put in the mouth of Mrs. Weston to keep the character of a fashionable woman. The misspelling of the words was the fault of the printer and not hers. Hudson is kind to say he enjoys her letters. Everyone is distressed at the death of Father E.D. Reville . She thinks he was sent to the Charnel house to die. He was a true disciple of St. Thomas Aquinas and preached the theology which his enemies said was unorthodox. Hudson should pray for her and her children. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 6pp. 8vo.
