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

Scope and Contents

Hudson's letter received. Murphy will send any notices about Knock to Hudson. There are many reports about Knock that do not appear in the papers, such as the apparition of Good Friday. Murphy tells of various apparitions that took place at Knock that were never reported or published in the papers. God alone knows the meaning of these wonderful cures. Hudson will have no difficulty obtaining Gill as an agent. Murphy will acknowledge in a letter the receipt of the subscription for the poor of Galway for publication. Murphy knows of no place where help is more wanted than in the vicinity of Galway. Help will be required during the months of May and June. The government has done nothing for some people and the public charity funds cannot last long. If additional aid is not given, people will be seen dying and starving on the roadside. He describes Irish scenes. The bishop is doing all he can for the suffering people. Murphy asks Hudson to have pity on him as the hand of God is heavy on the Irish people. Hudson should try to induce the readers of the "Ave Maria" to spare some of their recreation for the starving children. Hudson should ask the Irish and all Catholics to help them live. Murphy describes how others should aid as they are of the same flesh and blood. Murphy is sending another chapter of the "Legends of the Holy Infant" and more will be sent soon. Murphy is going to try and send a chapter each week. P.S. Hudson may publish and change it as he wishes. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 8pp. 16mo.
