Hudson merely states that more matters of the kind she describes are needed for his paper but he does not say he will employ her or take her writings on trial. She was requested to write to Hudson by one of the subscribers who thought the paper was running down. She agrees that it needs toning up. It needs variety and if published for young people, a great deal of general information presented in an attractive form. She explains at length different kinds of articles that might be used, and criticizes Mrs. Anna Hanson Dorsey 's novels as rather mawkish. She is frequently asked to write for papers that are just starting. Her circumstances now are such that she cannot volunteer any gratuitous contributions. If she writes, it must be for some pay. :: X-2-i A.L.S. 4 pp. 12mo.
