Egan was greatly pleased over Hudson's compliment on his article about the cost of churches. No doubt Hudson thinks Egan sometimes indiscreet, but hopes Hudson does not attribute this to James McMaster 's influence. The freedom Egan has in writing the editorials of the New York Freeman's -Journal make him inclined to call a spade a spade. On the Catholic Review, Egan had to be toned down because Patrick V. Hickey left so much to his discretion. Any criticism from Hudson will be handled reverently. The Freeman's list and advertising is increasing and Egan feels he is beginning to realize his powers. :: X-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
