Their letters crossed each other and he did not answer Hudson at once because there can be little in his letters to interest Hudson. He thanks Hudson for the Sacred Heart card and the scapulars. He likes pious objects and the relics he brought with him from Rome are very precious to him. He has not read Lacordaire's "Inner Life" but it is doubtless the very book he wants. If Hudson has a spare copy he would be glad to receive it. He also asks Hudson to send the book about Louise Latean and to autograph the fly-leaf of each book. The market is very limited there and there are no Catholic books at all. It is a French mission and the libraries are mostly in French and Hawaiian, and of a simple character. He has no photograph of himself now but he will send one to Hudson soon. He was born in 1843. His life is devoted to poverty and unrest but he is a very tranquil and contented soul. He knows little of Notre Dame and has read the Annual Catalogue with great interest. :: X-2-j A. L. S. 4pp. 12mo.
