Egan wants to take all of the best phrases out of the notices, including the notice of "Song and Sonnets" in Scribner. Dallas has no reason to be angry with Hickey as it was Egan who got his poem upside down, and also declined one of his manuscripts, which was excellent but too long. Hudson should make Dallas understand that Mr. Hickey admires him. The "Ave Maria" has improved in the last 2 years. Hudson has too much to do. If only Egan and Hudson had Scribner's resources and staff. Egan gives regards to Father Corby and Professor Edwards. What has become of that old little boy who had a profound contempt for the East when he was here with Edwards? :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
