May God reward Hudson for his kindness in sending the complimentary notice of her dear departed cousin, Jan. The letter contains a description of Jan's difficulties, beginning with his rude greeting by Father O'Neall when he went to the Jesuits in St. Louis. He later studied in Brussels, France, Spain and Germany and finally desired to come home but was delayed first by the Franco-German war and later by the Spanish war, writing articles for Bennet during that time. The writer tells of Jan's death and the grief of his widowed mother. :: X-2-g A.L.incomplete 4pp. 12mo.
