Box CHUD 2

Scope and Contents Hudson's two letters received. Regarding that of Miss Starr, Hudson is at liberty to do whatever will be to her interest. Miss Eliza Allen Starr seldom received her due praise for her talent. Her collection is the only one that can be read with pleasure after reading any of the poems of the Elizabethan era. Other Catholic poets have an artificial style, with the exception of Maurice Francis Egan . Miss Starr's simplicity is the graceful ease of the 16th and 17th century. Mrs. Cooke...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter received. Ryder wrote in reply to Eliza A. Starr. His compilation of Catholic poetry has been a labor of love. Ryder has found the work from the time of Chaucer to the beginning of the present century. What manner should Ryder proceed to obtain the biographies of Miss Donnelly, Miss Starr or Miss Skidmore? It is difficult to ascertain whether a person is Catholic or not. There are many Catholics who have written nothing worthy of being included in a volume which contains...

Scope and Contents Eliot Ryder lunched with Egan. Egan was wrong about the "human heart" and the "divine art of poetry." Ryder orated at great length and exhorted Egan to be true to his own convictions. Egan wonders if this is the kind of thing a fellow likes to take in with his modest half-brother of frugal repeat. In Rockaway, Brother Stanislaus was comparing the beauty of the New York belles with that which makes the Indiana girls so generally admired. Ryder informed Egan that he was more a child as...

The bishop has given use of a large...

He sends the ad to be published in the "Ave Maria". Father Peter Paul Cooney is a wretched looking speciment of humanity and appears to be very penitent.

This letter is being written at the suggestion of the Archbishop about the nuns of the Precious Blood. Miss Hoskin enlists the aid of the "Ave Maria" to spread the devotion of this order.

Scope and Contents Jenkins had planned on meeting Hudson but he could not have stayed over 24 hours and his financial condition did not permit such a trip. Jenkins would like to engage Miss Eliza Allen Starr's good will and get the assistance of her prospective article on Church Hymns of the Blessed Virgin to eke out his three essays on English and German poems. He would like to join them all in a volume and title them "Mary's Catholic Chapels and Protestant Rosary." The first of the translated works of...

Scope and Contents Mrs. Dallas at Clark heard from Hudson and he will answer the letter. Dallas had a most tiring trip the McKavett via San Antonio. He should be in command of this post. The one in command is his junior in rank but 4 years his senior in age. Dallas describes the new post and believes it to be much superior to Clark. The climate must rouse latent wickedness as many men get into trouble and there is so much court-martialing. The blacks have terrible dispositions and officers fear to leave...

Scope and Contents The enclosed manuscript is an article Miss Howe promised Our Lady in case of a certain success. Miss Howe sends 2 Catholic notes. In the August issue of the "Ave Maria" is an identical proposition which was condemned by Aunt Winifred. The commentary of Sylvius would certainly have filled the minds of the cavillers with anger. The article on Loretto France seems unreal and Miss Howe wonders if it is a fictitious travel for which the Catholic World is so famous. Those travels are the...

Scope and Contents Miss Meany has completed "St. Anne." She managed to keep it within the limits desired. Due to her health, Miss Meany cannot send as many stories for the "Children's Department" as intended. "The Eve of the Assumption" was not complete but seemed to end well.

She will forward the remainder of it if Hudson does not have a serial story...

Scope and Contents Miss Howe heard Miss Starr's collection was out of print. Hudson may verify this by writing to Philadelphia. Miss Howe is pleased to know her letter secured Miss Starr a deserved mention. The Sisters of Providence use her poems as a text for the rhetoric class. Hudson should try to induce Miss Starr to give a small edition to the Irish relief fund. It would not be an injustice for her to give an edition even though she is in need of money. The reason her book failed is because she came...

Scope and Contents Sister Lalor has checked the late issues of the Ave Maria to see if the contributions she received were published. Sister Lalor saw the account of the $30 and asks Hudson to send $30 more. It would be as great a charity to get bread for the starving children at the new convent as to send it anywhere in Ireland. Our Mother Mary is now appearing in 2 other parts of Ireland besides Knock. One place is 8 miles from Abbeyleix. Sister Lalor's brother in Ohio has two sons. One wishes to be a...
