Scope and Contents He received Hudson's note and is glad Hudson believes he will be of use. He has enough verse to fill 50 or 60 pages and thought of calling the little volume "Preludes". One of his friends, a publisher, thought of bringing out the book free of cost but his enthusiasm has cooled. He planned on doing it without expenses to the University but Egan will try to think of some other way to help Hudson. He feels that the critique in the " Scholastic" was fair and he is honored that the editor...

Scope and Contents They have not settled with the insurance company yet and can do no business until they have settled. He informs Hudson that to copyright articles in the Ave Maria he must send 2 copies of every number to Washington. The copyright will not cover English articles.

In order for Hudson to hold a copyright it must be given to him by a citizen...

Scope and Contents

She sends in todays mail two manuscripts. "A Pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. Mary Magadalene" without her name but if Hudson wishes he may put her name on it. The other is "Life of Jeanne de la None". She would like to know if Hudson received a manuscript posted in Rome. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. 32mo.

Scope and Contents She sends a letter thinking Hudson may be pleased to see it. As to confiding their business matters to the pastor of Chesterton, they did so to Father John Lang and Charles Wardy but it only brought contempt upon themselves. The notion around there is that when people lose the income belonging to a certain station, they ought to consider themselves cut off from former associates and descend to the ranks marked for them by their means. Nothing can overthrow that idea. It is useless to...

Scope and Contents

He has received the thirty-fifth annual catalog of the University and the last issue of the Scholastic along with two engravings of "The New Notre Dame" which he hopes to reproduce in his paper.

Scope and Contents She has received payment for the Ave Maria from Mrs. Robert Welsh, Miss Julia McCarthy, Mrs. P. J. Saunders and Mrs. Michael Kilian.

She is anxious to hear from Hudson as Miss Churchill told her that she heard,...

Scope and Contents She desires to recommend to the confraternity of Our Lady of Lourdes, a Catholic convert, Mrs. Henriques, who is mortally ill and is taking the water of Lourdes faithfully. She is anguished at leaving two daughters, 12 and 13 who need their mother most now. The disease is thought to be an internal cancer and is baffling medical aid.

He sent a tale entitled "The Crystal Vase" about a month ago that he hoped would be worthy of a place in the Ave Maria.

Scope and Contents Miss Emery received the postal order for ten dollars. She knew that "Consolation" bore her name but she saw it after she made her request. She thanks Hudson for the catalog as she is interested in Our Lady's town. She hopes Hudson is feeling better, and thanks him for his offer of water of Lourdes as she would be glad to have it. She wishes more people would convert to the Catholic faith. She is reading Emily Sharcote's "Legends of the Blessed Sacrament" and read something she had hoped...

Scope and Contents She encloses a versification of the "Prayer of the Prince Imperial" for the Ave Maria. She wishes to keep it as nearly as possible to the original. The prayer is destined to a holy mission as he has attracted numerous persons outside as well as inside the church. This prayer has produced a strange sensation to those who read it because the dead Prince composed it. They never associate youth and exalted position with the aspirations to a higher life. In purity of sentiment and in the...

Scope and Contents She has received some pictures from St. Mary's of the Woods that belonged to Rose. After having the inscription written by one of Rose's teachers, so she could present them to Rose's friends, she is enclosing one for Hudson, with one of Rose's favorite quotations on it. A good item for Catholic Notes would be Bishop Silas M. Chatard's blessing of the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes at St. Mary's of the Woods. As she and Rose gave the statues of the playground shrines, she has received a...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter and check were received. She is sending a statement for number 24 to 30 in which the story is finished. At $4 a page it is $117 less the $50 received. Hudson should write this week. She thanks Hudson for his promptness in sending remittances.

Mrs. Dorsey was grieved by Hudson's last letter when Hudson told her he was feverish. It must be malaria...

Scope and Contents A long time ago Miss Stace put on paper the history of some conversions that took place in England. The parties are now among the blessed she hopes. She always meant it for the Ave Maria but Hudson always said he had too many on hand. She has occupied her vacation by rewriting this tale. She would like to send it to Hudson but she wants to be sure Hudson does not already have too many. The usual price will be left to Hudson. It is about the length of "Natalie" which she translated last...

Thanks Hudson for the $8.00 he received. He was confined to bed with illness or he would have written sooner. He informs Hudson it is not necessary to return the sketch and the story not found suitable for the Ave Maria. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. 32mo.

Scope and Contents

Hudson's letter was received while at Sharpsburg Pennsylvania. He has been ill since he returned to Arkansas and is very busy. Mr. Henquenet ?, the brother-in-law of Father L'Etourneau wrote that he will visit Strub to work up the projected lottery. He asks Hudson if he received the favorable reply expected from Miss Eliza Allen Starr. He easily imagines the trouble caused because of the fire. He sends best wishes for health. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

She received the $5.00 and the note that Hudson sent to her. She sends belated sympathy at the destruction of Notre Dame and encloses a mite for the aid of reconstruction. She asks Hudson to have the Ave Maria sent to their address in Philadelphia after Thursday. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. 16mo.

Scope and Contents She waited until Hudson should not be too busy before she bothered him with a long letter, but the Ave Maria brought such great news of Notre Dame that she could not wait. She hopes Our Lady has given Hudson better health. It is very unpleasant to be misunderstood and especially by a priest. The reasons Hudson gave for refusing her request were not good ones, even though he thought so. He has said so many similar applications, but she states that if the Ave Maria is the Blessed Virgin's...

Scope and Contents She acknowledges the receipt of $70 and thanks Hudson for being so prompt. It has been a pleasure for her to write for the Ave Maria since Hudson has had control of it. She is glad Hudson has the courage to resist annoyances and spare the subscribers the reading of weak sentimental poetry. She cannot understand what right Mother Angela Gillespie has to meddle in the affairs of the Ave Maria. She interfered with Mrs. Dorsey when two of her stories were in progress, "Adrift" and "Tangled...

Scope and Contents Miss Churchill has gone and given Miss Emery her manuscript to finish as she had not completely copied it, and Miss Emery will share in the profits. They hope to have it ready for the feast, but one calendar, "Ursuline Manual", gives it in September instead of August. On page 6 the word chalice occurs and she wonders if this is correct. She is sorry about Master Conrad and she wants Hudson to save the copy for her. She suggests to Hudson to print more narrative poems like the last of...

Scope and Contents He writes in haste as the holyday is calling part of his time. In the Ave Maria he finds something that pains him. This part is cut out of letter. It is taken from a liberal paper and why should we go to those corrupt sources for comparisons. That implies that Pius lacked the spirituality that Leo makes the sole agency of the Church. He asks Hudson if he can believe that the grand Pontificate of 32 years was temporal blundering and that suddenly there burst upon the world a Pontificate...

Scope and Contents

Hudson's letter received and he hopes Hudson will overlook the boldness he took in writing first. He feels stronger on the subject that he can express in words. The gentlemen there are all well and have a pleasant remembrance of his brief visit. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents He is indebted to Hudson for consideration of his poem "Pere Marquette" and it will gratify him to see it reproduced in the Ave Maria where his scattered friends will see it. There is an omission in the "Times" print of 40 lines and the same occurs in any paper that copies from the "Times." The "Ave Maria" and the "Union" will be the only journals with the correct version. He supplies the omission in proof. He encloses the poem as it appeared in todays "Union." :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. 4...

Scope and Contents Hudson's note was received on the eve before she left for Rehoboth Beach. Her book has been out since last May. She is surprised that a notice was not given the book in the Ave Maria and that a copy was not sent to Hudson by the publishers. She believes that the hostile feeling at Notre Dame prevented the notice being printed. Mother Angela Gillespie and Mrs. Dorsey will never again be friends. The book is well printed and well bound. The price is moderate. She would like to know about...

He has received the remittances for the last two letters published and he had already written Hudson that the letter may have gone astray.

She sends something for the new library at Notre Dame and has a very valuable French Dictionary Hudson may have if he wants it, but she is not well enough to attend to it now.

Scope and Contents He asks Hudson to send the Ave Maria to the address given and send a bill for the inconvenience. He cannot afford to pay for any except his own until he is well as he has heavy expenses. He does not know when he will return to his poor parish of Plymouth, Pennsylvania. He hopes the Ave Maria is widely circulated in his parish, as it will protect the faith of the people in Pennsylvania. He can do nothing but pray that good Catholic papers will be patronized. Catholicity has gone backward...
