Martin agrees to the publication of his biographical essay on Father Isaac Jogues. He also requests two copies of the translation. He reserves the copyright for himself if such articles are ever published in book form. If he has a chance to do so, he will profit from the translation. :: X-2-d A.L.S. French 2pp 8vo

Scope and Contents He sends Hudson a translation of a few pages of Gaume's Cathechism of Perseverance— on the Immaculate Conception. Hudson can print it in the Ave Maria if he thinks it worth while. If Hudson intends to print the few pages of the pamphlet on "Les Lampes du S. Sacrement", Moyes would like the proofs. If Father Edward F. Sorin is at home, Hudson might tell him that Msgr. Claude M. Dubuis of Texas wrote a very satisfactory Exeat, so that Moyes is now formally a member of the Diocese of...

She writes him about a beautiful incident. She has at last finished the "Apostle of the Sacred Heart", with which she has been so long delayed. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 18mo.

Scope and Contents She received both Hudson's notes by the same post, and asks him to throw the missing manuscript into the fire. She should have sent him the sketch of Mother Teresa Kelly ten days ago; the delay is caused by her having given it to a friend to copy. She is grateful to see that Hudson published her account of the miracle. One needs such consolations these days, especially in France where the devil seems to be having things his own way. There is despair at the city of Paris withdrawing all...

Scope and Contents Adam sends $10.00 for a subscription for the Santa Cruz Sisters of Charity. He will send another $10.00 in a few days, to make them "life subscribers". He thanks Hudson for retouching his sketches and is sorry he makes errors in spelling proper names. In the No. 13 issue of the Ave Maria it appears that San Jose has 1,500 inhabitants. Really it has 15,000. Adam will soon receive a book concerning the principal sanctuaries of Our Lady in Spain. He will translate whatsoever he finds of...

Scope and Contents He is translating the biography of Leon Papin Dupont of Tours, which Hudson may have for publishing. He gives the works of charity and the organization of St. Martin for the clothing of poor. The election of officers and means of distributing the funds were explained in full. The holiness of Dupont is clarified in many acts he performed. If Hudson publishes the account of the St. Martin Society he wants copies for Mrs. Ellen Sherman and Archbishop James R. Bailey. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp....

Scope and Contents They received Hudson's letter regarding advertising in the new Quarterly some weeks ago but had misplaced it, and found it again only now. The best they can do in the matter of advertising is to take one-half in cash and one-half in advertising in the Ave-Maria. Their prices are $50. per page and $30. per half-page. If Hudson accepts these terms he should notify them immediately, for their advertising space is almost all taken, but they will try to squeeze in his advertisement. The...

Scope and Contents She apologizes for delaying so long her answer to Hudson's letter of Nov. 22, 1875. She sends him the good wishes of the whole community for the prosperous continuance of the Ave Maria. They would like to see a French issue of the Ave Maria; it would be easy then to secure a little corner of it now and then for contributions of some kind, for most of them know no English. As it is, they can enjoy the best articles only by means of a poor translation. Recently the Mother Superior was...

Greene sends an original poem, wishes that it may honor Our Blessed Mother. He thanks Hudson for sending the Ave Maria so regularly, and requests two copies of the issue in which his poem will appear.

An advertisement is enclosed and prices at which it will be printed in the Catholic Sentinel are quoted. :: X-2-d Form Letter 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents He sends the manuscript of the story which he thinks might suit the "Children's Department". He does not feel it any trouble to copy it; it is a pleasure to do so for the sake of the beautiful cause of the Ave Maria. He only hopes the story will be acceptable. It first appeared in 1850 in Mary Howitt's story book, but Greene does not think it need be acknowledged. Hudson can arrange it into chapters as he whishes. In reply to Hudson's "P.S.", Greene does not know why he is not a...

She compliments Father Hudson in that he is not materialistic like many people of this era are. She recommends Miss Eliza Allen Starr's article entitled "The Glorification of the Passion". She was hesitant as to whether "Our Lady as Mediatrix" with its sentiments would have been accepted for publication. In March she would like to start a story for the Children's Department. It is about Mother Seton's youngest child, Rebecca. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents When Warde first proposed to Father Neal H. Gillespie, C.S.C. that he write for the Ave Maria, it was in accordance with a promise made the Blessed Virgin. She had no thought of being paid, but she was in a position where she needed paid, and accepted it. It is a year now since any of her works appeared in the Ave Maria, although he has sent poems at various times. If these have been declined on account of money, he asks that in the future he be given no compensation, but that he be...

The Abbot sends the French along with the English translation made by a lady of Louisville, and he hopes that when Hudson publishes it he will also find room for a sketch of the life of the Trappistine Sisters. Such a sketch would answer the many inquiries made of the Abbot...

Scope and Contents She and her sister have been waiting for some weeks to see that part of the article on Louise Lateau which they have already sent Hudson appear in the Ave Maria. Since it has not appeared they conclude that he does not want it. Her sister has been indisposed with the whooping cough and does not suit, but if she had seen the work printed, she would have felt able to supply further installments. Their health and occupations prevent writing in the wholesale manner Hudson desires; they have...

Scope and Contents Corry does not know how Hudson will like the enclosed poem. He should like to do something worth while, and if Hudson sends instructions he will follow them carefully. Because he is missing a leg and does not know many people he cannot solicit subscriptions, and for this reason he has turned to writing. A short time ago he had all but completed arrangements with Father P. R. Fitzpatrick of Indianapolis, Indiana to become editor of the Central Catholic, but when the time to get his...

Scope and Contents It has been over three months since she saw any of her articles that she has begun to wonder if Hudson wants her articles at all. She is so needy that if Hudson would take one of her articles each month even at a low price it would aid her greatly in supporting her little children. Formerly he would publish her writings once every three or four weeks, but now he has four or five or her stories, and she fears he does not publish them because he has found some fault in them. If he will...
