James McMaster and Egan are friends, and Hudson can see that Egan's position in light of Hudson's note requires patience and tact. He asks Hudson to pay attention to David Munro, of Harper's Magazine, who will be at Notre Dame next week. Egan persuaded Munro to place his son, Roderick, at Notre Dame. Tell James F. Edwards Egan will send the mitre he wishes. Eliot Ryder called and Egan did what he could for him. He does not like to talk freely with Ryder for he repeats the wrong things to the wrong people. Ryder is dying and does not seem to realize it. Egan's writings in the Ave Maria have made many friends for him. :: X-3-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
