Stoddard asks Hudson to send him Arthur Stace's Paris address, for he may be there in May. He asks Hudson to get some pictures of scenes at Notre Dame from Father John A. Zahm, C.S.C. Bishop John Keane is what Hudson says of him; Keane was here the other day buying stainedglass windows for the chapel in the Theological House at Washington. Father Denis O'Connell is one of the finest; he is dying in Rome, the place doesn't agree with him. He received the copies of Lepers of Molokai and the Scholastic. Stoddard guesses Maurice Francis Egan wrote "In Memoriam". He would like him to know Wallace, and yet why should he, because it would mean more heart throbs. Stoddard is a wreck. Doctor Ranke, nephew of the historian is treating him, and he is now taking twenty-four drops of arsenic daily. He finds there is little hope of regaining his health and it would be madness for him to think of going to Washington. Stoddard sent Hudson a letter about Padre Augustino, which may be of no use, and a letter about Pope Leo XIII, which is wretched stuff, but he cannot do better because he has little strength. :: X-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
