Hudson, Father Daniel E., Notre Dame, Indiana, to James Farnham Edwards, 1888 July 17

Hudson trusts this acknowledgement of Edwards' letter of the 11th will reach him before he leaves New York. Edwards is to thank Monsignor Robert Seton; Hudson is pleased that he will be among the visitors on August 15. Not till Maurice Francis Egan is actually present will Hudson believe that he is to be here. Hudson wishes they had a few members like Brother Leontine, F.S.C. of the Protectory but their system is not likely to produce or hold such men. Hudson has no right to Dr. Richard H.? Clarke's gratitude; none of his books or announcements were ever sent to the Ave Maria. The retreat is over; Luigi Gregori has finished his picture; they had a little celebration for his birthday. Poor Joseph A. Lyons grows weaker. The Chapter opened yesterday. :: XI-1-f A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
