He has made the corrections on the proof, and sends it to Hudson. He hopes Hudson is not overworking. He is leaving Limerick the fifteenth for Holy Cross, where he will give a mission. He will send more of the story at that time. Many thanks for the Ave Maria. He has read the article appealing to the children. It will be pleasing to the Holy Ghost to have little children become Apostles of Charity. This will enable the poor children to return to Mass and school. Murphy cannot keep the tears from falling on the paper when he thinks of what he has seen and heard in Galway. He describes one scene. What tender hearts the American children have to think of the poor Irish children. Now that the story has been published it must be kept up at any cost. Hudson should correct the proof sheets as Ireland is too far to send them. Murphy sends some papers about the famine in Galway and the miracles at Knock. P.S. Just before posting the letter Murphy looked into the Ave Maria and found the appeal. He makes another appeal for aid. Letter was obviously quoted in "Catholic Notes." :: X-2-f A.L.S. 8 pp. 12 mo.
