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...

Sister Magdalen gives her new address. She cannot understand the American copyright. None of her books have been published in America with her lease. She thinks the copyright belongs to Hudson.

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...

Hudson's letter and Postal order received. Where is the author of "Stars of Our Lady"? Many would be glad to see her in the Ave Maria again. In rereading the "Stars" Miss Baker found them as delightful as the first reading. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo

Scope and Contents

Enclosed are extracts from the "Presbyterian" and one from the "Herald and Presbyter" in reference to Mr. MacGonigle of Ebensburg.

Hudson's letter with Mr. Collins' directions received. Mr. Collins will be especially looked after. The bank order Hudson mentioned was not enclosed in the letter.

Dunne thanks Hudson for the Ave Maria. Dunne's brother asks to have a pamphlet copy of the address sent to J. H. Richardson of London. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 1p. 8vo

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 is working on "The Emigrants", but it is not for the Children's Department. Half of it was sent last week under the name of "After the Nights the Day." She will forward the remainder of it if Hudson does not have a serial story...

Dunne thanks Hudson for the copy of the London "Catholic Universe". It has given him pleasure and enjoyment. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

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...

Marrin is sending a box containing a relic from Mt. Benedict, the Ursuline convent at Sommerville, Massachusetts which was burned by a mob 46 years ago.

Father O'Rourke is writing Hudson about an article of his on "Our Schools." O'Leary would like to see it in print and told O'Rourke he could not have made a better selection. O'Leary is a warm advocate of the "School Direction" and hopes O'Rourke's request will not be met with a refusal. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo

Scope and Contents O'Rourke has an article on "Our Schools" which will make a pamphlet of about 30 pages. It is similar to Hudson's pamphlet on Judge Dunne's Oration and O'Rourke would like to know the cost to publish about 800 or 1000 copies. The article treats education in general and the "Catholic question". It is not O'Rourke's wish to make any profit. The clergy who have seen the manuscript are anxious to see it published. Father Franciscus, C.S.C., aids in hearing confessions on the 15th — the day...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letters received. Hudson is always right in curtailing Jenkins' articles and he may change what he pleases. Jenkins does not agree with Hudson on keeping mum the matter in debate. Jenkins would like to see some European Catholic modesty take the place of the counterfeit article manufactured in this country. Jenkins may visit Hudson the 1st Sunday of September. Jenkins is going to take Hudson "down a peg" for the first time. Aristotle wants to say that "we are bound to give heed...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter of the 9th received. Not a better medium could be found than the Ave Maria for placing such a controversy before the people whom they wish to reach. Its pages are not the place for long continued discussions. If Hudson thinks Ryder severe upon Mr. Egan, Hudson should remember that Egan himself advocates candid expression. Ryder rejoices that Hudson approves of his volume but wonders-why not have the biographies written for the "Ave Maria?" Hudson could have a reasonable...

Scope and Contents Wood is sorry to hear of Hudson's sufferings. He advises Hudson to prevent overwork and to allow his body a generous diet. Wood noticed that the present Pontiff has ordered 300,000 francs for a new Edition of St. Thomas Aquinas. Cardinal Thomas Zigliara is to be the chief editor. Wood asks Hudson if the edition known as "Billuart's" published by Benziger was annoted by members of the Society of Jesus. Wood is writing a course of sermons on the Conception of God. The last sermon ends...

Scope and Contents Miss Hoskin does not wish to urge Hudson to publish her paper on the "Community of the Precious Blood" against his judgment. Miss Hoskin fears Hudson will misunderstand her as it is not her intention to make an appeal. Her desire was to make this new order known and to spread the devotion to the Precious Blood. Since there is no Catholic Magazine in Canada, her object was to reach Canadians as much as those of the United States, as the "Ave Maria" is read in nearly every Catholic...

Egan is sending a book published by a well-meaning fellow. A notice would make him very happy. Ryder has informed Egan that he will cut him up. Egan sent Hudson's name to Scribner's.
