Archbishop Patrick W. Riordan received them kindly and sent them to the hospitality of the Jesuit Fathers. They had a favored voyage to Panama, and landed at Iquique, Callao, the port of Lima and Guayaquil. At Peru's fallen capital, Lima, Hill said Mass in the convent now occupied by the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, though it was built by the Jesuits for their own use. The Jesuits serve the adjoining Church of San Pedro, which is remarkable for the number of paintings it contains. Religion is in a deplorable state in Peru. They were agreeably surprised in Panama as well as in Colon or Aspinwall. The bishop of Panama asked them to go to Colon to fill in for the priest there who was ill. From Colon they took a steamer for Vera Cruz, where they landed the following Sunday and then journeyed to Mexico City. They visited their brethern at Tacubayo, outside Mexico City not far from Chapultepec, the site of Montezuma's palace. After visiting the shrine at Guadalupe and their house at Tacubayo, they entered the United States at El Paso. Hill is sending Hudson his "Stelle Matutina" in the hope that it will appear in the Ave Maria. He is uncertain how long they will remain in San Francisco for their plans call for them to eventually travel to St. Louis. Have Hill's Monica poems appeared in the Ave Maria? :: X-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
