Hudson should go over the manuscript for her as she leaves...

If the other is not desired on the usual terms he wants Hudson to let him know so he may be able to dispose of it elsewhere. Hudson need not return the copy, but only send Roberts word that it...

Scope and Contents She has received Hudson's letter of the 22nd. The change in their business relations is so important that she needs an immediate understanding. With all the manuscripts on hand and all other articles it is not possible that anyone in authority at Notre Dame would consider her overpaid by the $200 she receives a year. Hudson has never called on her for an article of any description or at any time that she was not happy to supply, neither has she counted pages. What about the notes if the...

McGee's wife who owns the paper offered Egan a half interest but he could not take it because McGee would still be business manager. Egan is going to return...
