Ryder is resigned to meet death calmly. He has no photographs of himself and is unable to afford having one taken. Father R.'s letter is forwarded; it contains something that will please Joseph A. Lyons. Ryder is sorry that "Hawker " is delayed. He recognized the article on Henry W. Longfellow that appeared in the Scholastic as Hudson's. John Oldcastle 's work "Journals and Journalism", Ryder did not read. The Boston Journal so rarely prints Catholic matter that Ryder supposed the sketch interesting and so sent it to Hudson. He thanks Hudson for the five dollar advance on "Hawker". :: X-2-i A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
