While looking through his files he found a letter addressed to Hudson that was never mailed. It was written in reply to Hudson's letter stating that he had sent Clarke different views of the ruins of Notre Dame . He sends a check for $8.00 and Miss Maggie Carroll, $5.00 for two years of the Ave Maria, and the other $3.00 is toward the rebuilding of Notre Dame. He tells Hudson that they may get Father T.P. Thorpe, of Cleveland, as Bishop and he is praying that it will be confirmed by the Holy Father. He is tired of being kept back by the Columbian. It has been his drawback for years. P.S. He encloses $1.00 for Water of Lourdes. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. royal 8 vo
