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. In her previous letter she neglected to mention that if she continued to write about the festival of the Holy Rosary she would be feel obliged to include some of the policies of the Dominicans in regard to church music which might be objectionalbe to the Ave Maria. She considers concealment of important facts...

Scope and Contents

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. If it is acceptable he want it printed in pamphlet form too so as to give the common man a chance to read it. He thanks Hudson for inserting the "Mystical Rose". :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 32mo.

Scope and Contents She thanks Hudson for his letter. She and Lady Georgiana Fullerton are happy to accept Hudson's offer. The corrected proof is enclosed and she hopes to send part of a story which she intends to finish by the end of July with this letter also. She is ashamed to say that the biography is not completed. This is because of her innate tendency to verify the truth of every statement she writes. Since the Ave Maria's leading story is entitled "Aunt Winifred" she gives Hudson permission to...

Scope and Contents

She wonders whether Hudson has received a copy of her book of poems from the publisher since as yet there has been no mention of it in the Ave Maria. Many Eastern Journals for which she has never written have commended the book. While her anxiety is caused merely by temporal reasons she believes that since she has contributed so much to the Ave Maria her works deserve some mention. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 32mo.

Scope and Contents

A letter is enclosed which Hudson is asked to deliver to Miss Howe's mother or sister when they come to Notre Dame. Because of her recent and still lingering illness she does not know when she will be able to write again for the Ave Maria.

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. When she came to know more of his life, she found it was one of extraordinary and supernatural sanctity and almost too great for her to touch. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

He thanks Hudson for the old issues of the Ave Maria. He will return one of the two sets. Because of previous rejections it is only with timidity that he submits the enclosed story. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

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...

Scope and Contents She sends the last installment of the translation. She did not include all the material in the book in her translation. She offers to translate a French story which she believes would find favor with the readers of the Ave Maria. As a kindness to her convent she asks Hudson to print in the Ave Maria a short article translated from the "Le Courrier du Canada". In order to complete her 1876 volume of the Ave Maria she requests Hudson to send her the number 39 issue. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp....

Scope and Contents He sends a receipt and his thanks for Hudson's remittance. In order to repay Hudson for his kindness he offers a poem, "St. Augustine's Prayer", for publication in the Ave Maria free of charge. When the poem to Our Lady is published he suggests that the title remain unchanged, the explanatory note be omitted, and the second line be revised. After this poem has been printed he will write a new contribution. He calls attention to some errors made in the printing of the poem in No. 30. ::...

Scope and Contents

He is glad to send the corrected copy of a poem which he considers to be his best. It was written in competition for a statue. He suggests that it be printed on the feast of the Maternity of our Lady. After this poem has been published he will submit another. Since his work with the Tabernacle Society does not offer any financial reward the price of one poem is of consequence to him. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

He sends a story to be printed in two installments. Because of his absence from Rome he has assigned a friend the task of choosing a picture for Hudson. He is sending the best picture of the Holy Father ever taken. He repeats his request that Hudson remit the payment for the last story to Pauls brother. Paul asks Hudson to pray that a dear friend of his may recover from a serious illness or else die a happy and easy death. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents He thanks Hudson for his kind letter acknowledging acceptance of her manuscript, for the pamphlet by Father Roh, and for the copy of the Ave Maria which he wishes to be continued to be sent to him. Because of financial limitations he has not been able to acquire a complete list of poets and their works. He requests that Hudson insert several lines from one of Byron's poems which he quoted in the manuscrpit along with obtaining for him a list of the non-Catholic poets of the last century...

Scope and Contents She is glad that Hudson was happy to receive the scapular. In her opinion Hudson's admiration for her mother is entirely deserved. Her sister is also becoming disgusted with Brother Stanislaus because of his suppression of all references to the Old Testament despite the fact that it is definitely permissible to use them, and certainly in the English language. Because of Hudson's affiliation with the Holy Cross Fathers and his position as editor of a Catholic periodical she believes that...

Scope and Contents He thanks Hudson for the favorable review his book concerning the works of the founders of the Christian religion on the Pacific Coast was given in the Ave Maria. He appreciates this service all the more because of the outstanding popularity of the Ave Maria enjoys in the Catholic homes of America.

She received Hudson's letter. In compliance with his request she is sending a story for the children's department of the Ave Maria, and she promises to send another in about five weeks.

Scope and Contents While she and her mother are in Canada she asks that her Ave Maria be sent to her sister. Except for a grammatical error which she noticed she is satisfied with the manner in which her last article was printed.

She asks that Hudson pray that her conclusion to "The Tomb of St. Dominic" which she intends to write this week may prove...

Scope and Contents

She thanks Hudson for his note and remittance. She regrets that he finally found it necessary to revise one of her stories. If the Christmas story she intends to write for the Ave Maria does not satisfy Hudson she will not expect him to publish it. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 32mo.

Scope and Contents He received Hudson's note and its enclosure. He submits a story to be considered for publication in the Ave Maria. Since he does not believe that articles which boldly proclaim the value of living a holy life are very effective, he writes solely to entertain depending on a more subtle approach to produce a virtuous effect on the reader. If this manuscript is not acceptable he would appreciate having it returned at his own expense. He gives Hudson the liberty of revising any passages...

Scope and Contents She received Hudson's letter. Hudson's kind offer of assistance will probably be used although she definitely does not like the subscription method of raising money. She is sorry that she omitted Father Frederick Faber's priestly title in her list of authors. She does not like the way the word catholicity has usurped the meaning of the word Catholicism. She is fully aware of the fact that many literary critics consider the writings of her and her sister frivolous but she defends her...

She thanks him for the Standard. She regrets that there is not an English version of the Switzer but she is continuing the search.

If this story is well received she will write a similar one, though not quite as rich in theology, for the May issue. She comments about the beautiful cold morning. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
