The past years have been so full of petty cares that even our Blessed Mother's journal was put aside unread until this year. There was one editorial, on Hudson's father's death, which she should have seen earlier; she expresses her sympathy at length. She always felt Hudson was a convert because the fear of God is missing among born Catholics nowadays and only in converts is it steadfast. Hudson was right when he implied in his letter of Candlemas that aid would come to her through Our Lady. On the feast of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart she received from Archbishop James F. Wood the sanction of all she proposed to do by the "St. Patrick's Institute for Ladies." She is trying to get a house where she can begin. One of her "good intentions," which his Grace approves, was to have a little reading room, and to try to push the circulation of Catholic publications. She would like to have the agency of the Ave Maria; she thinks she can get Hudson a few good advertisements in the city if he will authorize her. She has a story to send Monday and will have the addition to St. Anne of Auray's Pilgrimage ready for her feast. :: X-2-h A.L.S. 4 pp. 8vo.
