This letter was enclosed with one written on April 26. Hudson should send the "Ave Maria" to Brother Stanislaus' brother, who is a good friend of the Sisters at the Orphan Asylum. He should take a life subscription and avoid the trouble of remitting. Brother Stanislaus has met Tom Ewing, Jr., who has been neglecting his religious duties according to a remark made at General O'Beirne's. Hudson should insert a petition for him in the various confraternities and another who is too intimate with Colonel Ingersoll for his own good. Colonel Ingersoll is a good-hearted, captivating sort of man and this makes him the more dangerous. Brother Stanislaus has met some of his disciples and easily got the better of them. He has been visiting Father Boland. Brother Stanislaus is rather shy of the Jesuits as they may couple Eugene Arnold's decision with his stay there. They are strangers to him but a lady friend of theirs wishes him to accompany her there. He will try to visit Georgetown. If any of the Catholic papers speak of Blaine, Brother Stanislaus would like to see them. He and Blaine have talked on the matter as has Major Calkins who is a noble character and a magnetic speaker in the House. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 7pp. 12mo.
