Piet forwards an article announcing his retirement from the Baltimore Publishing Company which he asks Hudson to reprint in the Ave Maria. Since the death of Dennis Sadlier he is the oldest Catholic bookseller, excepting Patrick Donahue of Boston, in the United States. He began his career with John Murphy in 1844. Piet is proud of his management of the Catholic Mirror. :: X-2-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
