She thanks Hudson for joining in her novena prayers. She feels they have already been answered. Her husband's Eliot Ryder's repentant letter arrived last Thursday. She found the novena in an "Ursuline Manual" given her by a surgeon in the Confederate Army. She implores Hudson to influence her husband not to return east. Her scheme was to have him become a lawyer - for the reasons she discusses. She speaks of the work of Charles O'Connor in Congress. Her first husband's partner cheated her out of $15,000 and a law library. Archbishop Feehan knew her first husband, who openly became a Catholic just before his death. If Eliot Ryder could obtain editorship on some paper and study law also he could repay his expenses in five years. :: X-2-g A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
