Stanislaus has arrived at a conclusion regarding the best press for the money that will fit the requirements. After much consideration he has decided the Cottrell Babcock is the better press. Stanislaus explains why the Cottrell press is superior to the other presses examined and the difference in price range. Freight must be paid from Rhode Island but a man from the factory branch house will set it up merely for his transportation fee. It will work both "Ave Maria" forms together. If the terms expressed are satisfactory Brother Edward should write up a contract. The company guarantees satisfaction or take the press out. Now that the press business is settled Stanislaus will see about Father General's book "Bernadette" and get a publisher. Hudson will remember speaking to Hickey about a cheap edition of "Our Lady of Lourdes" and Hickey went about stereo-plating Catholic Publication Society's translation. This would undoubtedly interfere with his book. Hudson should inform Father General that Hickey began his work before "Bernadette" was thought of, but was delayed by the scheme for the "Illustrated Catholic American." Stanislaus hopes Father General will understand. Egan, Hickey, and Stanislaus made a trip to Rockaway. Hickey remarked that Stanislaus looked much better. Egan is delighted with Hudson's letters as they are a treat to him. It it because Stanislaus is from Notre Dame that Egan likes him. Hudson should give an account of Stanislaus to the Superiors and tell him their wishes as Stanislaus does not want to trouble them personally. He gives his new address to Hudson. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 6 pp. 4 to
