She thanks Hudson for the gratifying notice of "South Sea Sketches" and wishes him a happy New Year. She is rapidly convalescing due to the many mementoes made for her. During her confinement she has partly written a book on the "Superstitions of South Mountain," but if her health improves she cannot finish it for the publishers in the spring. She wishes two copies of Eliot Ryder's "Catholic Poets" to be sent to her together with the bill. :: X-2-i A.L.S. 3 pp. 12mo.
