Meany, Mary L., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1879 November 15
Scope and Contents
She has forgotten if Hudson wanted a complete translation or only the chapters relating to the pilgrimage so she is sending the first page of the translation of St. Anne. She disagrees with Hudson with references to the religious giving an example of charity. He says that Notre Dame has not failed in being charitable, but she claims that giving charity and giving an example of charity are two different things. If the religious would give charity openly instead of secretly it would set a good example. The other remark which she disagrees is with the vow of poverty and obedience being inconvenient to practice. She believes these two vows bind us in a special manner to God who is the real Superior. She explains to Hudson that she does not want to be considered impertinent but she wanted to draw Hudson's attention to these differences of opinion. She asks Hudson not to bear a cross without taking care to win the crown. Without the Tabernacle they could not be borne. She asks Hudson to forgive and pray for her. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4 pp. 16 mo
