Enclosed is a short poem for the feast of St. Francis of Rome. She hopes it will meet Hudson's approval. She also has one for the feast of St. Catherine of Sienna if Hudson wants it. Miss Starr read the account of the death of Hudson's father in the Ave Maria and knew that Hudson's expectations and hopes in this regard were not answered. We have to value the least sign of grace. Nobody but a priest could understand Miss Starr's own hope for her father. She has offered Communion for Hudson's father. How fair it must be at Notre Dame and St. Mary's as today is so beautiful. She would like a proof of the poem. The American Romans who get the Ave Maria are sharp critics. San Zenobio is the name of the old church in Florence, but that was the only error. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo
