 Item — Box: CHUD 2
Identifier: CHUD X-2-e

Scope and Contents

She received Hudson's remittance of $100.00 and thanks Hudson. She was relieved to hear that her manuscript arrived safely. She hopes Hudson will look over her work as she has been idle so long that she probably has made slips of the pen. She thanks Hudson for his congratulations of her 63rd birthday. She wonders if Hudson is praying for her so that she may find happiness at the end of life. She would like to write for the "Catholic Universe" which will probably have "Tangled Paths" in it. She wants Hudson to inquire about it for her. Her hopes are that Hudson will take care of himself now that he has recovered. She cannot see how people can work when they are ill. It was not right for the saints to ruin the health given them by God according to her idea. The Jesuits have wholesome food and must rest when necessary. Hudson will receive her photograph as soon as possible. None of her pictures were ever a true resemblance. Enclosed is Bishop John J. Keane's, of Richmond, letter for Hudson's observation and should be returned. Keane is a personal friend of hers. She hopes that the work done with her hand will prove good in the end and that she will go to the judgment seat with a clean right hand. She feels, however, that receiving money for her work has stripped it of merit. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4 pp. 8 vo.
