He has been reminded of Hudson's neglected letter by the receiving of the Catholic World. The reason for the delay was because he was without a writing table, was moving into his present house and was busy overseeing the work of the decorators. Then the Bishop visited him and he accompanied the Bishop to the next town. He is waiting to hear from Perkins on the Pacific slope as he has not his address at his new location. In reply to Hudson's request, he does not think much of Father Bradley's book and does not believe him to be an honest writer. The literary merit of the pamphlet is described in a sentence, "The need of a new 'Dunciad'" in the Catholic world. Bradley's language is at times slangy. He was never rector of the P. E. Chapel of St. Sacrament because there was never such a chapel, and he was never a priest in the American churches and was not subject to the Bishop of New York. However, he thanks Hudson for sending him the book because he did want it. He tells Hudson that he now has a fine house of which he has been deprived for months and hopes that someday Hudson may visit him. He asks Hudson to inform him where he can obtain a statuette of Our Lady as he has a niche in his stairway that he is keeping for something of that nature. He informs Hudson that Mrs. French joins him in sending kindest regards. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 6 pp. 8 vo.
