Maurice Francis Egan should write a novellette for Lippincott's. Although she considers herself ill treated by Egan, she appreciates his able talents and uncompromising Catholicity. Aubrey de Vere seems to be a poet of the intellect only. He must have taken it amiss that so far the prizes have been awarded over his head by the Magazine of Poetry. He did receive honorable mention. Mannix did not try for the prize, but she sent two "Rondeaux". Hudson is right, it is not much wonder that Catholic girls do not marry Catholics. She is sending Hudson a number of the Fortnightly Review. Mannix has read part of The Journal of Marie Bashkirtseff and finds it has no merit. Yet the literary world is making a heroine of her. She wonders if the Ave Maria would criticize the book. :: X-3-k A.L.S. 12pp. 12mo.
