Miss Emery would like to have payment at once for the articles Hudson has on hand. They are: "May Wreaths," "Some Saintly Stories," and a translation of a story about a boy named Julius. And only $2.00 has been paid on the poetry about St. Francis Xavier. It would not be right to make the same arrangements with Hudson as she has made with Mrs. Hecker as Mrs. Hecker was not accustomed to paying at all. The pay is very little, but it is of great assistance. The old Philadelphia "Record" paid her $10.00 an article. It is too little to take two dollars for what she can get ten for. The "May Wreaths" she gave to Hudson for two dollars as it was indirectly for the rebuilding of Notre Dame. She needs twelve or fifteen dollars now and would like Hudson to pay her for what he now has on hand. Her friend now Godchild Mrs. Henry M. Parker was received into the church on the Feast of the immaculate Conception, by Father John Bapst, S.J ., Mrs. Parker is a sister of General Charles Stone, but it is not for publication as the "Pilot" had a notice of it giving Mrs. Croswell as the Godmother. She asks Hudson to pray for Mrs. Parker's children. A Mrs. Edith L. Sturdy, of Washington D.C., is under instruction. Her acquaintance was made through her sister Mary Lockwood, also of Washington. She asks if there are no English speaking priests at the Manaos on the Amazon where her gentle father goes, and wonders why the Blessed Sacrament does not reveal itself to him as well as to the servant girl in England. She asks Hudson to tell Our Lady to answer her prayers as he is a priest. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 8 pp. 12 mo.
