Lambing says he arrived safely and his brother was a little unwell. He has made some verbal corrections in the manuscript on Mixed Marriages, and a few examples will be added by way of illustration. He thought of making some comment on divorce, but it would have to be very brief. The pamphlet will be about 8 or 10 pages larger than it was and may have to be reexamined by the Bishop. He will forward it to Hudson by the 20th of July. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. crown 8vo.

Scope and Contents

Sister Clare is sure Hudson will find space in the Ave Maria for the letter of His Eminence Paul Cardinal Cullen. When Hudson noticed her opinion of Christ, he gave it a wrong title, one she purposely avoided. Hudson called it "The True Opinion of Christ" which is the name of an old French work. If she can lay her hands on the Tablet review, she will enclose it. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Ebner tells Hudson to use the items from this letter if edifying enough for the Catholic readers of the Ave Maria. His name is not be subscribed to the letter, nor does he want the letter published as he gives it, but wants Hudson to transcribe it and then publish it in his own words. Fr. Ebner will gladly give more items about the Indian Mission. Two full-blooded Indians baptized several years ago were married by Rt. Rev. Abbot Martin Marty, O.S.B. The couple received their first...

Miss Emery thanks Hudson for his kind letter and also for the enclosed picture and requests another copy of the last Ave Maria. She is sorry that Hudson could not use the article on Emily Bowles and wonders if there are other Catholic periodicals that may be interested in it. It would be very easy for her to write for him if her spiritual trouble would pass away, and begs for remembrance in Hudson's prayers. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents She has mustered enough courage to make a beginning which she hopes Miss Starr, Miss Howe, Miss Stace, and other lady contributors will join. She encloses her article. Miss Meany is wondering if the Ave Maria would advertise in the St. Patrick's Monthly. The circular enclosed is one page of the St. Patrick's Monthly. She is getting it printed at the Catholic Protectory in Westchester, New York, in the same size and style as Brownson's Review. After Miss Meany receives the first copy the...

Scope and Contents She is sending Hudson her address for the next two months. He should not let her name appear at the head of the story in the Ave Maria as it will get her into trouble with Cardinal Manning. If she had been allowed to publish it in England she could have gotten any price for it, but she owes it to the United States to make this sacrifice to their feelings. Father Denis has been taken to Rome and made a great gun in the order, much to his despair. His people tried to keep him by a...

Egan is sending a sonnet, "The Knighthood of Today". He says that Hudson is putting new vigor into the Ave Maria. Father John Zahm called at "McGee's" office and tried to give Egan a description of Hudson, but all that Egan got was that Father Hudson is younger than Egan had imagined. He would like Hudson to send a photograph of himself. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. crown 8vo.

Scope and Contents Miss Howe reminds Hudson of a statement she made previously about one of her teachers who was English by birth and of her younger sister who still remains in England and writes for the English Catholic press. One of her productions is entitled "Aubrey Court" and as yet she had not found a suitable place to publish it. So Miss Howe wrote to the sister, Miss Amy Marshall, suggesting that she have it published in the Ave Maria. In her reply to Miss Howe she states that she would like to...

Scope and Contents Mrs. Sherman says that the secular press all over the country has published the statement which started in the Ave Maria, that the General gave his consent to his son's entering the priesthood. The General is violently opposed to it, and is greatly annoyed, and complains that the Church has falsely taken his son from him. Mrs. Sherman wants some brief correction made which will attract as much attention as the original statement. She knows all is in a spirit of kindness, and thinks it a...

Lambing is about through with the revision of his manuscript, but will retain it until he returns from the retreat on the 27th. He would like to spend a few of these hot days in the shade of Notre Dame. He informs Hudson, confidentially, that the Catholic Parent's Friend is soon going to suspend publication, as the editor wanted Lambing to take a share in it and have it published in the east, but he has lost enough on the Catholic public. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. crown 8vo.

Scope and Contents She is happy for all of the favors that Hudson did for Father Aegidius and tells how Aegidius was so thankful for the attentions of Hudson. She was delighted with Hudson's notice of her book, "Louise Lateau" in the Ave Maria. She suggests a contrast between the work of her sister and that of Rohling; Rohling's work is for unbelievers and for men of science, while her sister's work is for those who have faith. Her sister's aim is to aid those who hear of the miracle to carry their own...

Father Felix Martin, S.J ., believes his Vie du Père has, in part, been translated in the Ave Maria. Martin requests that a copy of the translation be sent to him. Their collection of the valuable weekly is either incomplete or in such disorder that a thorough search seemed rather disheartening. Drummond believes that it would be easier for Hudson to forward the copies that contain this translation of Father Jogue's life. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. crown 8 vo.

Paul has not received the remittance. He could not prepare anything in time for Holy Week, but he is sending an Easter contribution.

He wants it announced in the Ave Maria that the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIII, gave his blessing to the Bishop and diocese of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Some months his copy has been omitted. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. royal 8 vo.

Scope and Contents Frances Howe knows that Hudson's column is crowded but the enclosed translation is for one of the nuns. The nun asked Miss Howe to ask Hudson to put it in. The nun wants it to appear on the festival of St. Vincent as she was making some kind of a novena to that saint and promised him that she would make him more widely known. If Hudson can find room for the nun's ex voto, he need not mention whence it comes as nuns desire little publicity. Rose will reply to his letter and Frances Howe...

Scope and Contents She encloses the design for the frontispiece which she received from Sister Maurice. She thinks Hudson will urge the insertion of it in the book. His position gives him access to engraving firms. Miss Eliza Allen Starr is ill and cannot help her by going to any Chicago firms. Anyhow she always opposed the school of art to which Sister Maurice adheres more than she aid that of Luigi Gregori. She would not like the design. Miss Starr is an advocate of the Turner School and it would take...

Scope and Contents He cannot express too much his recognition and esteem for Brownson's service to the Catholic social cause. Brownson will command only two or three hundred intelligent and zealous readers and will form with them a sacred battalion capable of doing good in combatting protestantism and materialism. Protestantism rose from the renaissance of paganism and from the independence of the state in regard to the church. It is necessar to disengage the true doctrine in theology, in philosophy, in...

Scope and Contents DeVere thanks Hudson for sending him 2 numbers of the Ave Maria. He encloses a few poems that Hudson may use if he wishes, for he is always glad to aid in furthering the holy cause for which the Ave Maria has been established. But he has few poems with him, except such as have already appeared on his side of the Atlantic. Because he has found that mistakes invariably occur in the printing of poetry, he asks for three copies of each proof to be sent him. He will return the proofs...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter to her was satisfactory. She will be pleased to receive the Ave Maria, to indicate the choice of subject if Hudson wishes to have another manuscript from her. "The Battle of Connemare" may be called a children's book, but it was written for mature readers; she wished to illustrate the contrast between the Catholic priest and the selfish Protestant person. She describes the novel. The 50 pounds she indicated as the price was based on an agreement made with Hudson's...

Scope and Contents The Superior of the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland has asked her to make a little sketch of the life of Mother M. Teresa Kelly. She thinks this sketch would find a place in the Ave Maria, and if Hudson is of the same opinion, she will send it to him. It will run about ten or twelve pages of the magazine. How she is looking forward to meeting Mother Mary Angela Gillespie, who is in Paris and has written her, requesting a visit. She also hopes to see Cardinal John McCloskey before he leaves....

Scope and Contents The manuscript on Louise Lateau is being written by Frances Howe . She has written a good deal of it and shall finish it presently; meanwhile she can send Hudson enough for the first weekly installment. Miss Eliza Allen Starr has doubtless told Hudson that they ought to have a hundred dollars of the manuscript. Although they enjoy writing for the Ave Maria, they cannot do so without a respectable recompense. If Hudson wishes, she will send him a kind of index of subjects on which they...

Scope and Contents She has been unable to answer his letter of November 15 because she and her sister have been making the Jubilee, and have been so fatigued by the long walks to the parish church that they have not had sufficient time to write. At first she delayed answering Hudson until her sister had completed the index of subjects that he said he would be glad to receive. But the final cause of her delay was a serious fall she suffered which invalided her for two days. In a few days Hudson will...

She asks that the Ave Maria be sent to her at Goshen instead of St. Mary's. She is ashamed to trouble Hudson again, but circumstances have forced her to leave St. Mary's, and she must stay in Goshen all winter. If Hudson would like any articles for the Children's Department similar to those she formerly contributed, she will be glad to write them on the same terms as before. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Limerick has procured Father Bertram Wilberforce, O.P., to write an article on the Cord of St. Thomas.

He has also asked Limerick to write a review of the book. A copy of the book has already been sent, and in a few days Limerick will send Hudson the article and...
