Scope and Contents

It is a whole month since she was at Notre Dame. She has been so busy since then that her correspondence is dreadfully in arrears. Her cousin was delighted with Notre Dame and although her name is so intensely Catholic she is a Protestant, but she thinks Notre Dame roused the Catholic blood in her. The writer stopped in Chesterton on her return and visited Mrs. Green, who again spoke earnestly of the Catholic religion. She will suggest to Father H F. J. Kroll that he make a New Year's cell on Mrs. Green and perhaps she will open her heart to him. She then gives various reasons why she herself is not on friendly terms with Father Kroll. Her conscience reproaches her for telling Hudson all the disagreeable things that happen to her but the temptation is too great to tell them to someone so sympathetic. The poem, "Forget-me-not," reminds her of something she wrote to Mother Cecelia about Father Edward Sorin's friendship for them. Dr. Kilroy read in the Scholastic that she was writing "Saint of Genoa." Did Hudson put the notice in the Scholastic? At St. Mary's she was asked why the article came out anonymously. She replied that she left it up to Hudson. She hopes to get it out in book form by June. She has sent some circulars out already and the answers to some are quite complimentary. Mother Austin Carroll of the New Orleans House of Mercy wrote that she liked it, as did Mother Cecelia. She is going to spend the feast of the Immaculate Conception with Mrs. Green so asks Hudson for a memento in his Mass on that day. She hopes Hudson is as well as she has been this winter. :: X-2-j A.
