Scope and Contents

She thanks Hudson for the "Life of Haydn." She is glad he has taken Gill and Co. for his agent. She is now empowered to offer Hudson on the part of Dr. John Baptist Guidi, a translation of his work, "Berufung einer jungen Protestantin." Dr. Guidi is now secretary to the Nuncio in Lisbon, Monsignor Vincenzo Vannutelli, and accompanied him in a visit paid to their convent. He knew many places and people Sister knew and finally asked her to translate the book. Guidi offers the book and also most interesting letters which his brother, Father J. Guidi, S.J., writes of his missions in the Rocky Mountains. Dr. Guidi accompanied Vannutelli to Russia; the fear and constraint is intolerable to a foreigner. One of their Fathers, Dominican, will revise the book as she writes. This delays "Olderico." Sister wishes some one would translate "Frei Luiz de Souza ." It is founded on fact: D. Magdalena de Vilhena become a nun in the Sacramento Dominican Convent in Lisbon; D. Manoele became a monk in the same order. He published the "Lives of the Saints of the Dominican Order." :: X-2-m A.L.S. 10pp. 12mo.
