Hudson's two letters received. Regarding that of Miss Starr, Hudson is at liberty to do whatever will be to her interest. Miss Eliza Allen Starr seldom received her due praise for her talent. Her collection is the only one that can be read with pleasure after reading any of the poems of the Elizabethan era. Other Catholic poets have an artificial style, with the exception of Maurice Francis Egan . Miss Starr's simplicity is the graceful ease of the 16th and 17th century. Mrs. Cooke would like a crown of thorns for her oratory. Miss Howe cannot make her a crown until next spring when it is possible to twist them into wreaths. Mr. Eliot Ryder has Louis Gaylord Clarke's style in prose, a style so full of natural gaps and omissions that it should not be held responsible for anything it has left out. Miss Howe will try to write something for the Catholic notes about the farm. She renders respectful regards. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo
