At this time Hudson is probably arranging his prospectus for the coming year. He cannot promise her reminiscences of Europe as she has taken over many of her mother's duties and in her state of health she lacks strength. She will contribute an occasional article on the prominent feast of the week as she did on the feast of Corpus Christi and she would make use of much she learned while abroad. She cannot write the things she and Rose planned together without becoming ill. She tells Hudson that the orphan girl they brought from Kentucky proved to be a failure. Her mind was stunned at an early age and she has no power of learning. Her conduct was beyond control so they sent her to a convent school. To metaphysicians she would be a rare treat as they could learn what a woman is when she is with out intellectual capabilities. She is sending a slip for Hudson to read that was rejected by one Catholic paper because it was not orthodox according to American standards, but the Sisters of Providence got it inserted for her in the Central Catholic and it appeared without alteration. The Ave Maria changed the expression Blessed Sacrament Altar to Main Altar. She got the idea for her article from that. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4 pp. crown 8 vo
