Enclosed is a short notice for "The Best Beloved, etc." and "The Amateur." Miss Starr wonders why Hudson did not have Eliot Ryder write the notice since Miss Donnelly is one of his favorites. She was unhappy at the way he ignored everyone but John Boyle O'Reilly, Mr. Egan, Mr. Norris and Miss Donnelly. As to the American converts Miss Starr has never seen anything from Mrs. Kitchum . She believes Mrs. Ellet is a Catholic poet. William H. C. Hosnin ? wrote only like Longfellow, Catholic in spite of his being a protestant. Ryder will never get a good list of American Catholic poems or poets in his present course of reading. Mr. Devwood of Wisconsin has put out a volume of poems, and this man was overlooked by Mr. Ryder. Miss Starr was disappointed with the article, but it probably aids the support of Catholic literature. She was glad to have the chat with Hudson. Miss Starr is going East to aid her sister. P.S. She did not get her manuscripts in the mail but will send a full envelope today. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo
