Scope and Contents

She is forwarding chapter ten of her story; the two she has in hand will finish it. She thinks the readers will like it because it is more full of examples than precept. In this chapter she refers to an incident in the life of Bishop John England which is similar to that of one of her characters. The income of $75 per month which Angela has been receiving furing the past year has been stopped, and she does not know how she will manage without it. She did not intend to mention money so soon again but discouragement and necessity have broken down her good intentions. She has written up to and beyond the money advanced a month ago at the rate of $4 per page and asks Father Hudson to send her a check by February 20 to tide her over until her friends, Gen. James A. Garfield and Sec. of State James G. Blaine take their places. She wrote to Collier offering him the poems as Hudson's card suggested. Printing books on shares has discouraged her to the point that she has offered to sell Collier the copyright. Sadliers sent her $6.75, the result of six months sales of "Tangled Paths", and she is convinced she is being swindled. She thanks Hudson for the "Index" and praises its form. No Catholic library should be without Brownson's works because she thinks they will endure for all time. She received a letter from Mr. Elliot asking for a selection from her poetry for his book. She was born a painter and poet and writes prose only to earn a living. :: X-2-g A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
