Hudson, C.S.C., Father Daniel E., Notre Dame, Indiana, to James F. Edwards, New York, 1881 August 6

He hastens to reply to Edwards' letter. His previous letter probably has been forwarded. He is glad that Edwards is having such an enjoyable vacation. He asks if Edwards thinks that Mrs. Catherine Dunbar will really give that sum for a chapel. If Father General Edward Sorin, C.S.C . were sure, he would begin building and tear down Phelan Hall. Hudson is sorry to hear such reports of Mr. R. Father William Corby, C.S.C., chancellor of Notre Dame University has informed Mr. R. that the council has decided not to retain him next year. Hudson asks that Edwards see Mr. Maurice F. Egan and tell his that R. is not a member of the faculty now. Hudson has experienced great relief from a Holman pact; he has not suffered from the pain which had been almost continual for the past months. He trusts that he has lost nothing by bearing unnecessary suffering so long. :: XI-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
