Mannix, Mary E., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1880 February 17
Scope and Contents
Hudson's letter of the 13th received. Mrs. Mannix is busy with the translation. When last writing to Hudson she had received only one volume of the book and found it incomplete, now she finds it consists of 3 volumes. It will make 175 pages in the Ave Maria. Because of the peculiarities of Leval's style it is difficult to translate. In a review in the "Catholic World" of two translations of "Jesuits" by Miss Sadlier and T. F. Galway, they find fault with both for trying to preserve Leval's style. This is a mistake as the author's style should be preserved in a translation. Mrs. Mannix would like a copy of the Ave Maria containing the extract referred to in Hudson's letter. She at one time was a subscriber. She does not venture to make a lot of money on her literary work as she wants to help to make Catholic literature as attractive as possible with the talents God has given her. She will probably accept whatever Hudson offers. She has enough finished now to run 4 or 5 issues of the Ave Maria. Her sister or husband could finish them if she should happen to become ill as both are competent to do so. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
