Dallas is glad that Hudson has recovered from his illness. San Antonio is having a slight epidemic of bilious dysentery, but Dallas' family is in good health. After reading Hudson's advice he is obliged as a Christian to acquiesce but he is unable to act it out. If he did, Edmund Dunne would claim a triumph, which would have no fruit for himself or Dunne. Dallas is not the only one in the settlement for whom Dunne entertains a dislike. Hudson's letter reveals he understands Dunne's character. Dunne's conduct must be attributed to ignorance and obtuseness. Dallas's fault was that he opposed Dunne's policy of keeping the school in the church to the exclusion of the Blessed Sacrament and had the support of the pastor and Bishop John Moore . Dunne refused to yield to either and wrote an insubordinate letter to Moore, which Moore read with his reply to Dallas in the presence of Father C. Peterman of Tampa, where their pastor had taken refuge. Dallas then built the school house at the request of Moore and Dunne immediately ceased to recognize him. When Dr. Havard visited Dallas, Dunne saluted both of them and his conduct convinced Dallas that Dunne's only purpose was to show his charity was greater than Dallas's. Dallas has attempted to clear up the misunderstanding between himself and Dunne, but to no avail. He has reached an understanding with Father J. F. O'Boyle . Dallas thanks Hudson for the book. :: X-2-o A.L.S. 12pp. 12mo.
