Box CHUD 1

Scope and Contents He believes Hudson should reconsider his decision not to print his essay which appeared in the Catholic Sentinel. Inasmuch as it is the duty of Catholic papers to enlighten the minds of Catholics and Protestants also he thinks Hudson would be doing a great service to his readers by printing this essay on the various divisions of the commandments. He declares that the essay is the complete truth. It is only by printing stories like this one that the Catholics will be able to overcome the...

Scope and Contents She believes that the reformers who criticize the music used by the Churches of Rome do not understand the laws concerning this matter. The framers of these laws intended them only for musicians who are talented enough to deserve the title of Doctor of Music. They understood that amateurs, according to European standards all American musicians come under this rating, would misinterpret these rules; therefore they are more lenient in their observation by amateurs. She states that some of...

Scope and Contents He thanks Hudson for the subscription to the Ave Maria. He is moving to the interior of England because of poor health. Therefore he would appreciate having the Ave Maria mailed to his new address. If the list of English converts which he sent Hudson is too voluminous to be published in the Ave Maria, Hudson may, if he thinks it worth the effort, send them to any Catholic paper which would be disposed to print them. Some time ago he sent the Ave Maria an article entitled "The…of the...

Scope and Contents Her mother would not permit her to send a letter to Bro. Stanislaus. This is to be her final communication with the Ave Maria. She wants the enclosed finale to "Aunt Winifred" printed in the Ave Maria. If Stanislaus objects she requests Hudson to have Father General Edward F. Sorin decide the matter.

Scope and Contents She thanks Hudson for his letter and enclosure. She tries to change Hudson's passive attitude toward her story about the litanies by showing that this devotion has the approbation of the bishops. She reminds him that his lack of enthusiasm toward this new feature may be due to the severe mortifications to which he has been put. She believes that "Litanies" offer a great field for action. When her aunt was sick she had a good example of the narrow-mindedness of some priests and...

Scope and Contents She requests Hudson to change the word house to home in the title of the article on St. John of the Mountains in the next issue of the Ave Maria.

Scope and Contents She encloses the money for a subscription to the Ave Maria for Miss Julia Allen. She asks if in her absence from this country the Ave Maria has printed anything about Dr. Allen, who in her opinion is one of the greatest American converts. It is her belief that the Americana do not appreciate his greatness. She would like to know the form of addressing and closing a letter to a Cardinal. She plans to send Hudson a picture which she bought at the old Church of St. Ambrose in Milan. She...

Scope and Contents She thanks Hudson for his letter. The reason for the delay in answering it is due to the fact that his letter and one she received from Miss Eliza Allen Starr had completely bewildered her.

Scope and Contents She received Hudson's letter. She has no objection to making the change in the manuscript, but she would be surprised beyond belief if James Alphonsus McMaster apologized to her.

He thanks Hudson for his letter and the enclosed money order. Before he completes "Freedom of the Reformation" he would like to have Hudson's opinion as to the probability of it being accepted by the Ave Maria, and at what terms.

Scope and Contents

She sends Hudson one of her works. She sees Hudson noticed her Life of Daniel O'Connell ?. The enclosed was written by a priest of his diocese. She was at first unwilling to undertake the work having so much on hand but she could not refuse the "Primate of all Ireland" and so many of the clergy.

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents Because of her business in Chicago she has not rested as much as Hudson may think. Although her story will probably be late for the Assumption edition of the Ave Maria she hopes that it will still be of value. It is her fondest prayer that after the early retreat Hudson was given the same assignment for the coming year. She was pleased to read Miss Howe's article directed to the adverse readers of "Aunt Winifred", and especially the compliment it paid to the editor. She thinks it took...
