The description of the statue of the Blessed Virgin is as he had seen it in the Ave Maria,...

Scope and Contents

Major Dallas wrote Dodge that Hudson would send Catholic papers for the prisoners.

Scope and Contents He has received the photograph Hudson sent to him. Hudson looks like the ideal he had in his mind and he resembles Hamlet, a Hamlet who has discarded the philosophies learned at Gattengen and became ecclesiastical. Several readers of the Ave Maria have made pilgrimmages to his sanctum to see the picture. Egan will talk to more Ave Maria admirers Sunday. He sends Hudson his own picture which flatters him as it gives him too much flesh. Egan informs Hudson that "Preludes" is to be...

Scope and Contents

He has received the books but can only use Caswall's as the others are foreign to his purpose. The translations of hymns of the Blessed Virgin in the Breviary nor the version by C. are not worth writing as he thinks he can equal them.

Giovanni in Ohio, as she sent material not available to Miss Starr.

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter and Ave Marias received. If the proof of the manual of the Confraternity has not been sent, Hudson should send it to Berwick, not Carey.

The cinctures were ordered by Father Koloff but they were not paid for as he has not learned the price. Hudson should ask Father Koloff if he spoke to the Mother Superior about the Carey, Ohio Church. He recommends himself to...

Scope and Contents Hudson is very kind about his little bits of verse, he is sure Hudson is bored by many of them, but the enclosed would be likely to please some. It is a shame and a sin for Russell to have let Hudson pay a half penny for the Irish Monthly. He will mark Hudson down for a free copy from now on, and allow him to send Russell the Ave Maria. He inquires about the rate of exchange. Now that the postage is the same all over the country, the Irish Monthly ought to aspire to a modest American...
