When they were in England he was always referred to as Archbishop of Canterbury but in Frances' story the Ave Maria substituted the title of Archbishop of Westminster for the title she always prefixed him with.

The complexities of Spanish meter make his work of translating difficult. He requests Hudson to have prayers said for...

He received Hudson's letter which, to say the least, startled him. He sends the pages of the story he has already written and gives Hudson a short summary of the remaining thirty-eight pages which are equivalent to fifteen pages in the Ave Maria.

Scope and Contents She asks Hudson to send her a copy of a recent issue of the Ave Maria. The Howe's are grateful to Hudson for his prompt and courteous response to their inquiry regarding the remainder of Miss Wieker's bill at St. Mary's.

She believes that Italian Catholics are worthy of much more respect than most people show toward them and at least as much as...

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents

She submits the Christmas story for the Ave Maria which Hudson agreed to accept. She is sorry that Hudson did not react to her proposal concerning her serial story but she is certain that she could adapt it to the needs of the Ave Maria if Hudson would only tell her what changes must be made. As a favor she asks him to review her sketches in the "Young Crusader". :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 32mo.

Scope and Contents Many of her acquaintances including clergy have expressed a desire to see the story of Louise Lateau published in book form. This plus the implicit approbation of the idea by the Ave Maria has led her to investigate its possibilities more fully. She wants Hudson's aid and advice in selecting a publisher. Her request may seem hasty but it is necessary because of the great length of time it would take her to revise the story so that it would be suitable for publication as a book. :: X-2-d...

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents Strange as it may seem the death of a dear friend, Sister Cornelia Connelly, makes her rejoice for besides putting an end to the sister's many earthly trials she also feels that the Religious Order of which the sister was the real foundress will new succeed. She is uncertain whether it is permissible to print a short biography of the sister in the Ave Maria. She feels greatly indebted to the Blessed Virgin and to the priests at Notre Dame for the prompt way in which they obtained her...

Scope and Contents She is at a loss to account for the wide discrepancy of time between the mailing and arriving of Hudson's letter. She suggests some possible subtitles and a title for her article on the Rosary whose publication she believes should be timed so that the last article is published during the week of the feast to which the story refers. She fully realizes that Hudson must find her hard to get along with but she believes that her indispositions are due to the fact that she is overworked and...

Scope and Contents She submits a story written by Father Sheehy describing the appearance of St. Peter's Church in Rome during the process of canonizing some Saints several years ago. She is not sure whether it has been published before. The names and money of two new subscribers to the Ave Maria are enclosed. Because of the great financial distress she would appreciate having Hudson send her a remittance in payment for the articles she had forwarded to the Ave Maria some time ago. She extends Holy Day...

Scope and Contents

He sends a translation about the charity of Peter Claver which perhaps would be suitable for the Ave Maria' Children Department. Since the article was translated from the Benziger' publications and since he is not familiar with the laws governing the republication of printed matter he leaves it to Hudson to decide whether it is legally permissible to publish this story. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents She received Hudson's letter and in regard to it she states that she was happy to learn that Hudson does not attribute any ulterior motives to her in connection with the longevity of "Tangled Paths."

She believes "Tangled Paths" to be suitable for publication...

Scope and Contents

She sends some original information about Father Panfilo for the Ave Maria. Then writing about Father Ferdinando Battistas she asks that the Ave Maria spell his name as she has spelled it, include all his titles, she refer the readers to a former issue of the Ave Maria which contains information about him. She imagines that Hudson's work keeps him too busy to come to get his pictures. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Besides increasing his somewhere meager income, writing for the Ave Maria has always brought him great pleasure. Therefore, he hopes that Hudson's determination to sever the connections between the Ave Maria and him, Paul, will not be permanent. He intended to introduce a new feature in his letters from Rome. If Hudson desires he may comment on this possibility when he sends the remittance. He will do all possible to regain Hudson's confidence and he hopes that in any event he may...
