Hudson must think that she is devoid of common etiquette for not answering his letter of the 21st. She has become a chronic crank and cannot summon sufficient courage to write. She expects to find Father Lambing's production both instructive and interesting. Not long ago she wrote to Fr. General requesting permission to allow Mother Lucretia, C.S.C., to come to Cairo for the holidays. She received a reply but no satisfaction on the subject. If the request is refused she will stop at St. Mary's on her way to or from Ohio, but Hudson should not mention this to Mother. She will likely go to see Josie week after next. He is not to come home for the holidays. :: X-2-j A. L. S. 4pp. 12mo.
