McDonnell thanks Hudson for the bundles of Ave Marias and the bound volume. Alfred des Essarts evidently took the story from someone else. She has permission to publish a life of St. Pius V. She will have no dealings with Burns and Oates, but perhaps the Catholic Publication Society would publish the manuscript. McDonnell was sorry to hear of Ella Loraine Dorsey's illness. She suggests a trip to Europe for Hudson. McDonnell just looked up from her letter to see a German iron-clad glide down the Tagus to Lisbon. The English squadron has not come in since Lisbon went crazy over Lourenco Marquis. They say Don Carlos will have a short reign. It was the ironclad that caused that bit of politics. :: X-3-k A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
