Stoddard works daily on notes for the courses he will teach and longs to be away to Washington. Only two men in this world have impressed him and to these only has he been able to bow down, Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII, yet he could not ask these to pray for him. The sketch of De Veuster is admirable, he is forwarding it to Rossiter Johnson. :: X-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
