Egan has received a letter from Father Sorin; he resolves to do something tangible for Notre Dame soon. Hudson should take care of himself. The religious have some consolation in work but laymen do not. Hickey sends his best regards. Hudson should make Hickey happy by giving him a notice in the Ave Maria of the "Illustrated Catholic American ". McGee is doing very well and is much improved. He suggests getting out a circular for the schools and colleges with all the best parts out of the notices of "Preludes." It may start a boom and a cheap edition ought to sell. They should have let Scribners or Lippincott get out the book. As soon as Egan writes anything worthy of the Ave Maria. Hudson will have it. Scribner's complain that he doesn't write but he has the Illustrated Catholic American to get up and copy for the "Catholic Review" . He asks Hudson if he saw the poem of J. B. O. R.'s in last week's "Pilot." :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo
