Bishop Hermann Koeckemann may send Hudson a copy of his letter to Boston. His copy is now with R.W. Meyer, who will make some reflections on it. Dutton informed Meyer that Hudson was going to issue a new edition of the "Lepers of Molokai" and would be glad to have this letter. Since Doctor Godwyn Swift is busy, they may not get a picture of Father Joseph Damien De Veuster's grave, which is good, since Koeckemann will visit Kalawao and they will decide on a stone for De Veuster's unmarked grave. The heavy rains keep the sisters from traveling to Kalawao daily to care for the lepers. Concerning Sister Aurelia and the priest in Tasmania, two obstacles arose. They did not like to leave Father Wendelin Moellers; Father Lambert Conrardy is a secular; and there is uncertainly about relations with the government. If talk about establishing a Protestant girl's home becomes a fact, Mother Marianne will not remain here. Results of the general election held two days ago are unknown. He must inform Hudson, Father Francis X. Dutton and Elizabeth Harper, what he has told Koeckemann, that he lead a dissolute life before his conversion. A newspaper sketch of his life, furnished by friends, who knew his old life, was published in the New Orleans Picayune, last July. Until he received Charles Marshall's recent letter, He did not know the article had been published. :: X-3-k A.L.S. 7pp. 8vo. 12
