Hudson should come north as he has hundreds of friends who want to meet him. Hudson's love for the human race has made everyone love him. Hickey was enthusiastic when he described Hudson to Egan. "The Tablet" is out with a notice of "Preludes." De Hay is a member of one of the oldest families in New York, and is a nephew of Radman Drake, who wrote the famous American poem. De Hay is a graduate of Yale and very talented. He wrote the "Bohemian" and "Hesperus." Egan asks Hudson to give Charles de Hay a letter to either Mr. Charles Kent or to Lady Georgianna Fullerton. Notre Dame is going to decorate Egan. It is an honor to be identified with Hudson's noble work. Mr. Patrick V. Hickey went to Chicago; Egan ran both papers. Egan is glad Hudson noticed the death of Mr. McGee's son. He was very interesting. He does not live in a boarding house and is ready to receive anyone from Notre Dame. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2 pp. 8 vo
