Hardenbergh asks Hudson to address his letter to Charles Warren Stoddard congratulating him on his appointment to the Catholic University of America. Hudson has no doubt heard of Hardenbergh's father's death. The baby is a great comfort to Hardenbergh's mother who is visiting them. Was not the death of Captain Dawson of Charleston a tragic one; he and Hardenbergh travelled together through France and Italy. His mother and Ella join in best wishes. :: X-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
