Illness has prevented Marine's writing to Hudson. Since leaving Notre Dame, he has been suffering from arthritis. When he wrote to Father-General, Marine expressed a willingness to return to Notre Dame should Sorin order it, but he would be unable to do much after he had returned. Hudson knows what an effect is produced in a house which has a member who has no activity, energy or good health. Superiors do not want such a religious. If Marine is permitted to remain at Tarragona, he believes his health will improve. Father Augustus Louage, C.S.C. wrote and asked Marine to go with him, but he refused. Marine read in the Scholastic that the novitiate is burnt. :: X-3-g A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
