Egan copyrighted "A Chat about Books" when he left the "Catholic World," and asks about utilizing it. Egan hears from Father Walsh that Hudson has a capable assistant inJohn F. Fearnley Egan will be with Hudson on the 15th to prospect about a house. Hudson will have no reason to regret Egan's coming.
