He thanks Hudson for the "Scholastic Annual". He would like to receive something about the peculiar claims of the Congregation of Holy Cross, its history, constitution, rules. He has made many enemies by abandoning Protestantism and is very poor. He hopes the poems, "Star of the Sea" and "Behold Thy Mother" were acceptable. The Paulist Fathers begin a mission there in four weeks. He is glad to hear that Father Edward Sorin has returned. Note by Hudson: What is there to send a Protestant giving an account of the Congregation. He remembers something printed by Father General some years ago. :: X-2-g A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
