Scope and Contents Father Edward Sorin asked him to get from Hon. Benedict J. Webb, author of letters of "Kentucky Catholic" and one time editor of "Catholic Advocate," his mss. on Father Stephen T. Badin which is ready for publication in the Ave Maria. Webb has been so fine and good a public man that he is left in financial straits in his old age. He himself is not faring well in health these days. P. S. He just received an answer from Webb, who states he has written for his Ms. and when it arrives it...

Scope and Contents Hudson's favor arrived at a time of trouble. On Nov. 8 her brother-in-law, Samuel Kilpatrick of Philadelphia, died unexpectedly, a death-bed convert. He had always been very dear to them. Will Hudson ask the prayers of the readers of the Ave Maria for his repose? His conversion has made quite a stir and she trusts will do some good among his Protestant friends. She thanks Hudson for his kind remembrances of her. P.S. She will try to prepare something for the Christmas No. after these...

Scope and Contents At length she is to have a little chat with Hudson. Doubtless the retreat was very fatiguing, but she is pleased to know the effects were so beneficial. She is disappointed that Hudson cannot accept an invitation to go to Lourdes. She is confident John English will recover and the trip would give Hudson a lease of at least fifty years on his life. She would like to see him the size of Father Walsh. She hopes he was able to say Mass this morning for the anniversary of her mother's death....

Scope and Contents Hudson's kindness in sending her several articles in the Ave Maria should have been acknowledged long ago. Grandma has come back to live but her mind is so impaired that she was moved to her married sister's for better care. She herself is "floating about" among her friends, hoping to find a job as a teacher. Her relatives, being Protestants, blame her misfortunes on her becoming a Catholic. Today Father Jordan and other "Fathers" of hers begin a Novena to St. Joseph that a good...

Scope and Contents

They expected Hudson last Saturday and were quite disappointed. The proof of McCarthy's article is substantially correct. If copies of Brownson's work are not received by the Library more will be sent. One page proof of "Synthetic Philosophy" is enclosed. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents

He is grateful for Hudson's kind letter and enclosure. They plead guilty in relation to "The Little Musician." No author's name was given, so they thought it was an original. The "Visit" was copied from some exchange which gave credit to the "Paterson Weekly Times." If they have done the Ave Maria an injustice it was unintentional. P.S. They have read the Ave Maria since its first issue and say "God Bless it." :: X-2-j A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

The thought strikes him to resume "Christian Counsels for Educators." Is there a later issue than Dec. 10, 1881, with the "Counsels"? He can't determine where he left off. He is grateful for Hudson's generous offer to Mr. Benedict J. Webb :: X-2-j A. Postcard S.

Scope and Contents Between business and illness he has been unable to write. He is grateful for Hudson's letter, prayers and the Ave Marias. He is pleased Hudson liked the sketch of poor Girard. He is a great loss as a journalist and a friend. He hopes Hudson liked the Brownson sketch. There was a notable gathering at Father James J. Moriarty's last night. Several bishops, clergy, friends, and Catholic editors, including Mr. James A. McMaster, were there. Brother Jarlath O'Brien called him, for which he...

Scope and Contents She encloses a poem, a translation of Heinie, written by Mrs. Long. If Hudson does not publish it he should return the manuscript. Mrs. Long has published many beautiful things and she is anxious for her conversion and to have her work run in Catholic channels. Her son, Lieut. Long Edes, was a Catholic convert. The writer will be indebted for the promised notice of the "Memoir" of Admiral Dahlgren. The nuns of Mt. Carmel have asked her to write something on St. Teresa. Perhaps Hudson...

Scope and Contents Hudson must think the photographs took the same road as the "chains," which as yet she has not found a way of forwarding. The enclosed photos do not please her as they were taken from 2 negatives. The engraving was given her by Father Bechy, General of the Society . Many of the churches there distribute pictures of their own saints when there is a general Communion. She describes the immense devotion to St. Aloysius among the young of both sexes. St. Anthony of Padua is another...

She thanks Hudson for the little book, which is the edition she wished. Mother Cecilia acknowledges the Ave Maria. Madame Healy received the "Record." :: X-2-j A. Postcard S.

Scope and Contents She sends a true Christmas story of her life in Austria. She is still quite ill. She has prepared lectures on "Journeys on the Continent" on Music, and on European cities; she is now preparing lectures on the Art Schools of Europe. This pays better than teaching but it is too bad she devotes all her energies to Protestant schools while Catholic convents are employing Protestant teachers for music and elocution who do not have her knowledge. She is glad she is a Catholic but had she...

Scope and Contents

It would give him great pleasure if the enclosed article were worthy to appear in the Ave Maria. He took it from the "Wahrheitsfreund", a German paper edited in Cincinnati.

Would any of the enclosed rhymes suit the "Children's Department"? :: X-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 32mo.

Scope and Contents Father Thomas J. Jenkins, who is of the opinion that his reminiscences are worth preserving, sent him a copy of Hudson's note of Nov. 12 indicating he would be willing to accept for the Ave Maria his article on Father Stephen Theodore Badin. It was declined by the "Catholic Quarterly Review" and unless Hudson is willing to have it continue for three months possibly he will object also. Father William H. Hill, S.J., of St. Louis and other clergy who have read it think it will be of...

Scope and Contents

He is giving a fortnight's mission here for the Parish and then goes to the Cathedral in Cleveland. There are still places in America that do not have the Ave Maria and in such places he recommends it. He will be in New York and Baltimore during Lent and after Easter he will go West and perhaps may see Hudson. He asks Hudson to pray that his health does not fail and that his mission may succeed. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents He asks Hudson to send five copies of the Ave Maria containing his "Mission in Mid-Ocean" to Father Leonore in the Islands, who is anxious to send them to his friends in France. He thinks some religious houses there might like to subscribe to the Ave. Stoddard is on needles and pins but his mind is tranquil. He is grateful for the prayers of Hudson and Father J Pinasco, S.J. P.S. He has just reread Bishop John B. Brondel's account of his visit to Louise Latean. Is the cloth Hudson sent...

Scope and Contents

He sent Hudson the bound volume of the "Youths Cabinet" for 1882. It compares favorably with the finest non-Catholic volumes published here or in England for young people. He trusts Hudson will find it interesting and wholesome. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

She just sent Hudson 2 translations from Louis Veuillot's "Parfum de Rome" Vol. I. She thought he might like "Thoughts on the Madonnas" for the Ave Maria of Dec. 8. Where can she purchase "Das Kleine Marianische Officium"? If Hudson likes the two translations and has not the book she will send the volume. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Since he is anxious to have Father Edward Saurin Sorin examine his MSS. on Father Stephen T. Badin he is sending it at once. Hudson should send him a postal if it is not satisfactory. P.S. He hoped to get more definite information on Father Badin's work at the Pottowattomie mission. A note might be added to supply the ommission if it is published. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents He promises to write Hudson at length very soon. It is too bad their friend Derbey did not appear in 1882 so he sends the above hoping it will be useful. He is grateful for the enclosure but sorry Hudson did not turn over the $3 to Joseph as he wants to get square with him. He is confined to the house most of the time but is able to read and write a good deal. It would please him to make up the Ave Maria index for Hudson as a slight love-offering and help to while away his time. If...

Scope and Contents He must be better to be able to persecute Hudson with "copy" again. Hudson did not take his suggestion of making the Ave a bi-monthly with 50 pp. He has been elaborating a supplement to "Our Lady and Some Non-Cath. Poets" for December. He prefers this time because the subtitle mentions Christmas and because he wants his friends to know he is getting on his feet again for the New Year. He asks Hudson to sign his name to the article as the author also of "Index of Faith" to advertise the...

Scope and Contents

He is glad Hudson is satisfied with his article. Hudson has full liberty to change the title or parts of the sketch. He asks for a revised proof to see that the proper names are rightly spelled. If Father Edward Sorin cares to add anything about Father Badin's work it could be added as a footnote. When the article begins he wants 3 copies of each No. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents
