Stoddard liked the "Holy Face" very much. He has just finished "Glimpses at Mission Life in California". He does not know if the many big H.H. Bancroft volumes on California draw from the material that he has used so freely, but no where else has he found anything approaching it in interest. The material is an invaluable addition to the history of California. He gives all praise where it is due-to the Padres. Stoddard is glad that Hudson mentioned Father John O'Connell, C.S.C.?. He wants a photograph of him and of Father Nicholas J. Stoffel, C.S.C. and Father Stanislaus F. Fitte, C.S.C. Stoddard now has forty-four photographs of the college faculty and students. There is fun in Maurice Francis Egan's "Good Boy's Diary". Hudson is to keep an eye to the happiness of that "sweet -faced" little one sent to him for protection. God pity the sensitive soul doomed to a life atNotre Dame! Hudson cannot know the agony Stoddard endured in the year after his return. The thought of those who wronged him and his sickens him. Hudson is to see that the gentle one placed in his charge does not have the germ of Faith frozen by the example of those priests and brothers. :: X-3-g A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
