She sends a manuscript of a short story sent to her by a Miss Marshall, known as Alston Marshall in print. Miss Howe sends it to Hudson as it is a Catholic story. She believes Miss Marshall will be satisfied with whatever pay Hudson deems suitable. She tells Hudson that she is not a literary predictionist like Miss Eliza Allen Starr. Miss Starr is happy to know that her Patron Saints is selling in England. Miss Howe hoped that the prestige of Dr. Newman and Cardinal Manning would help her to cross the ocean as she has very little ambition to write for America, as she thinks her ideas are not popular with those who control the Catholic press. She tells Hudson that the Catholic Review was cruel in taunting the Catholics of Europe with not voting. She implies that Miss Marshall wants 35 shillings for her story of "Aubrey Count" and her sister told her that she is a favorite with Dr. Newman and the Oratorians. It would take a year to bring it out in the Ave Maria. Miss Marshall's style is calm and her aim is to keep Catholics from Protestant literature, so she employs the weapons used by the opposition. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
