Hudson, C.S.C., Father Daniel E., Notre Dame, Indiana, to James F. Edwards, 1881 July 22

Mr. Eliot Ryder is still absent and so the proof-reading falls on Father Toohey and Hudson. Father General Edward Sorin and Alexis Granger were prostrated with the heat. Poor Mrs. Dunbar must feel very lonesome. Prof. J.A. Lyons said he never saw Edwards looking so well. Father Dunn of the diocese of Buffalo, a relative of Sister Hyacinth, is there. Hudson is glad that there is a prospect of Prof. Unsworth's returning. Ryder will return but may not remain. Father General is willing that Edwards should have a year's time for the affair if necessary. Mrs. B. is more generous than people suppose. If Father James Toohey works. on the Ave Maria next year he will do it alone. Hudson received a friendly letter from Msgr. Robert Seton . What a pity about that quarrel! Father Jacob Lauth was thrown from his carriage lately in Texas. Father John Lauth is at Watertown. Father Patrick Colovin will go this time. P.S. Ryder has received 70 subscriptions and some reviews on his book. Mrs. Fitzgerald expects to return to St. Mary's . Captain Cooke has gone; the "Register" has an article about him but does not mention his connection with the college. :: XI-1-b A.L.S. 7pp. 12mo. 11
