Richards has only recently became acquainted with the Ave Maria and regrets the time lost in which he may have profited by its material. He cannot pay for it. Most of the New York papers and the Boston Pilot come to him as an occasional contributor and one of his neighbors gave him the Ave Maria. He hopes the Ave Maria has a wide circulation and is glad to see it is interested in converts, to which class he belongs. He encloses an article for publication should it be suitable for publication. Richards does business in Boston and is connected with the Bureau of Charities. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo
