Among the many things which Mannix admires about Hudson is his frankness. Mannix refers to Hudson's recommendation to destroy her story "Kitty's Piano", which she has not carried out. She sends some French sketches which she has translated together with a Christmas story of Southern California. Her story "A Tale of Two Coasts" is taking shape. She has been honorably mentioned in the Magazine of Poetry. Hudson's new story is very strong and she has read nothing better in a long time. Mannix received a letter from Lawrence Kehoe stating that he would publish no more Catholic books because they do not pay. What does Hudson know of the Angelus magazine. Mannix is pleased to hear that Christian Reid Frances Tiernan has not fallen into utter domesticity. :: X-3-k A.L.S. 11pp. 16mo.
