Scope and Contents Hudson's letter to Father Bernard O'Reilly was received. It was the fault of the Post Office and not the publisher that Hudson has not received "The Two Brides", since his copy was sent among the first. This story of "The Two Brides" has had much praise.

Scope and Contents "Dion and the Sibyls" went to the wrong person for notice. Miss Meany believes the fashion nowadays for Catholic authors is to separate what was united in the Incarnation and show Christ as a historical personage.
