She has received a promising letter from Father P W. Riordon. He is willing to assist her in the revision of her article on St. Catherine which appeared in the Ave. Therefore, she asks for the return of her manuscripts. She discusses at length the accusations of Dr. and Mrs. Cocke against the character and sanctity of St. Catherine, but as it was published in the Ave Maria it was no special refutation of these accusations. Hudson seems to think she has made the Ave a Vehicle to help her insult people. Has he received any warnings against her? For three years she has been the target of the malice of some people to prevent her from being recognized as a Catholic writer. It is not her own trials that led her to defend the cause of spiritual direction and devout friendship. She gives various examples of the vile ideas afloat among seemingly devout Catholics concerning the higher duties of the confessional. She plans to spare no effort to publish the Saint of Genoa as a book and will make it thoroughly and fearlessly Catholic. The ecclesiastical approbation which she hoped to receive by having her work in the Ave Maria she must seek elsewhere. :: X-2-j A. L. S. 8vo. 7pp.
