Higgins, John, Knock, County Mayo, Ireland, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1881 June 6

 Item — Box: CHUD 3
Identifier: CHUD X-2-h

Scope and Contents

He sends another letter for the Ave Maria. He will send a letter each Sunday. He also sends some Knock cards—two for Hudson and two for Father Alexis Granger, C.S.C. . Will Hudson ask Fr. Granger to give him a constant place in his proteges and to have him remembered by his confraternity. A slight accident has prevented him from collecting subscriptions for the Ave Maria. When he came to Knock he resolved to remain indefinitely, and to become self-supporting he began to write. In an attempt to popularize Knock he has become indebted to a Dublin newspaperman. Other liabilities added to this make his position awkward. If his contributions to the Ave Maria possess any money value Hudson should put the highest price he can on them and remit to Archdeacon B Cavanagh. How can knock be best and most cheaply popularized in America? He lists the editors to whom he has sent letters. Since he writes the best "Knock Letters" for the Ave Maria perhaps he can trust Hudson with the American part of the work, and since Hudson and the Ave Maria are devoted to the Mother of God he ought to charge himself with the care of the interests of Our Lady of Knock. He is sending Hudson a "Hymn to Our Lady of Knock," and expects to send the music next week. He would like Hudson to publish it and send a copy of the issue in which it appears to the author. He is also sending a copy of the "Irishman" for May 7. P. S. Hudson should forward the Ave Maria in which Miss Jane O'Neill' s statement appears to her address which he gives. :: X-2-h A.L.S. 8 pp. 12mo.
