Miss Starr told Miss Edes last year that Hudson may be interested in some articles treating of Our Lady. She had no courage to write last year as she was ill and never took a pen in hand. Enclosed is an article on the Shrine of Our Lady of Atocha, in Mexico ?, and others are in preparation, as Our Lady del Pilar of Guadalupe and an article on the the Santa Cingula, or Girdle of Our Lady. Owing to the seizure and sale of convent libraries she has picked up curious works in Latin and Italian treating of Mary, which are now out of print. She has the permission of the Pope to purchase such as are offered for sale. Mr. Paul has informed her that she is not in Hudson's good graces because she corrected the article in the Ave Maria relative to Lee of Perugia. All editors are easily led astray and persuaded to publish all the nonsense cabled from Rome which has no semblance of truth. If they knew the laughter excited in Rome over the "American Catholics News" put forth in Catholic papers all would be more wary. The "Catholic World" makes a mess of it when they try to correct those splandid political articles of Mr. Paul. All the information regarding new dioceses in America volunteered by Archbishop Lynch of Toronto, published in the "Herald", was printed to suit imagination and was very ridiculous. Miss Edes translated the article and showed it to Cardinal Simeoni to show him how such ridiculous rumors arise. Bishop William Henry Elder has been named coadjutor of Cincinnati and that is the only appointment made up to the present date. If the article pleases Hudson Miss Edes will be satisfied with the usual terms given for contributions, deducting the subscription to the Ave Maria. If not satisfactory she would like it returned. Father Ferdinando Pierbattista tells her that they will soon see Hudson. Father Sorin is to be there before long. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo
