Egan sends a notice of "Preludes" from the "Herald". This is the only copy he has so if the "Scholastic" does not publish it he would like it returned. Egan would be delighted if Hudson will continue to send the Ave Maria to his sister in Philadelphia. Mr. P.V. Hickey has requested Egan to thank Hudson for the notice of the Illustrated Catholic American in the Ave Maria. Hickey has said that it is impossible to give a perfect paper for 6¢. He is very delighted with the notice in the "Scholastic." Major Alexander I Dallas has informed Egan that Hudson is sick frequently and Egan advises Hudson to come to New York to rest, as he is one of the most valuable men in the country. It perturbs Hickey to see the "Preludes" described as "dainty." He had a letter from Father Carrier of St. Laurent, Canada. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
