Hudson's letter of the 7th received. Norris offers his sympathy to Hudson upon the death of his father and tells Hudson that it must have been unusually sad since he could not be present. It must be soothing to receive so many petitions and prayers from the readers of the Ave Maria. He thanks Hudson for being put on the free list of contributors. He is doing what he can for "Preludes" and is sorry he cannot send more subscribers for the Ave Maria. "Preludes" is a charming volume and is worthy of patronage. He owes Hudson many warm thanks for wishing to see him at Notre Dame. When Mr. Egan pays his visit perhaps they will travel to Notre Dame together. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo
