Hudson is very kind about his little bits of verse, he is sure Hudson is bored by many of them, but the enclosed would be likely to please some. It is a shame and a sin for Russell to have let Hudson pay a half penny for the Irish Monthly. He will mark Hudson down for a free copy from now on, and allow him to send Russell the Ave Maria. He inquires about the rate of exchange. Now that the postage is the same all over the country, the Irish Monthly ought to aspire to a modest American circulation. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 32mo.
