He has received the photograph Hudson sent to him. Hudson looks like the ideal he had in his mind and he resembles Hamlet, a Hamlet who has discarded the philosophies learned at Gattengen and became ecclesiastical. Several readers of the Ave Maria have made pilgrimmages to his sanctum to see the picture. Egan will talk to more Ave Maria admirers Sunday. He sends Hudson his own picture which flatters him as it gives him too much flesh. Egan informs Hudson that "Preludes" is to be dedicated to Hudson. The printer hopes to be able to send it to Hudson in two weeks. Egan is sick of secular business and is going to attempt to make another Catholic engagement in New York, as he cannot write articles he is compelled to write. :: X-2-e A.L.S. Initials 2 pp 12 mo
