Hudson, C.S.C., Father Daniel H., Notre Dame, Indiana to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1900 October 17

The new Prof. Alphaeus B. Reynolds told him that Edwards was to return last month. Later he heard that Edwards had taken passage and then Father Fitte told him that he was not to sail until the end of the month. Reynolds says he feels at home and likes the place. Hudson should judge that he is a good teacher. The old Washington Hall and its contents were entirely destroyed by fire. Hudson tries to see Mother Ascension every month. It was the General's request that he should do so. What a delightful trip Edwards has had! Edwards speaks of the Huffers just as Archbishop Keane does. He can believe all that Edwards says of their beautiful home life. Edwards' old friend Sister Elizabeth is infirm physically but bright and active. There was an epidemic of diptheria in South Bend last month. :: XI-2-c A.L.S. 6pp.
