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. White thinks O'Reilly's writing should be widely circulated, namely, to elevate so as to give a distaste for common and demoralizing literature. Father O'Reilly hopes Hudson has received the book and will use his influence to scatter it...

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. She disagrees with this idea and will have nothing to do with it as she believes in edifying Catholic stories. In the story Dion and the Sibyls she notices that the most eloquent passage in it is a glorification of gladiators who are silent under the agony of a violent death....

Scope and Contents Miss O'Meara cannot refrain from writing and expressing her sympathy over the loss of Notre Dame, which the blue cover of the Ave Maria had made familiar to all.

She thinks it is a very good idea that every reader of the Ave Maria contribute a...

She does not know whether to put her name to "Into Port" or not, but she prefers S.L. Emery. Hudson should omit her name. She would like to know if Hudson wants...

Scope and Contents He did not expect an answer to his letter when he read of the disaster at Notre Dame. He thanks Hudson for his kindness in writing under the circumstances.
