She sends a true Christmas story of her life in Austria. She is still quite ill. She has prepared lectures on "Journeys on the Continent" on Music, and on European cities; she is now preparing lectures on the Art Schools of Europe. This pays better than teaching but it is too bad she devotes all her energies to Protestant schools while Catholic convents are employing Protestant teachers for music and elocution who do not have her knowledge. She is glad she is a Catholic but had she known how cruelly Catholics treat their own people she would have remained a Protestant. In Hudson's letter of Oct. 3 he suggested she write to a priest whose name she could not make out. She would like to give some lectures at St. Mary's Academy. The person who sold the tickets for her lectures has kept $120. Boarding and illness use up money faster than she can make it. She hopes Hudson will like her story. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
