Ryder thanks Hudson for the monthly edition of the Ave Maria and the book "A Troubled Heart", which he found awaiting him at the Hunt Hotel when he arrived in St. Louis. He will enjoy reviewing the volume of verses Hudson sent him. Ryder got a position with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as a reporter. He sends the promised sketch of Father Adrian Rouquette and he awaits Hudson's comments. If Professor Joseph Lyons visits St. Louis this summer, Ryder asks that he visit him. :: X-2-o A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
