Nicolas, James J., Chicago, Illinois, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1879 November 7
Scope and Contents
He asks Hudson to put his sister, Margaret Mary, on his obituary list. She died on October 27 at the age of 25, after a long illness and made her religious vows on her death bed. Two and a half years ago she had made preparation to join the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin but her father's ill health made her wait. After his death her health failed. Father Lambert, S. J., paid a feeling tribute to her in his funeral sermon. Nicolas is employed by the Western News Co. and is taking the Ave Maria with the intention of giving his sister all the spiritual advantages. He tells Hudson that all of his father's pupils who are now in the priesthood will pray for her when they see the name. He explains that his father M.P.Nicolas was a French Professor in Dublin and died in 1878 before coming t Chicago. Many of his pupils were destined for All Hallows and Maynooth, and a little over 6 years ago he taught at Rev. Dr. McRedmond's of Ennis, Co. Clare, where a number were preparing for the Church. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.
