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.

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.

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.

Scope and Contents She received Hudson's favor enclosing a proof of the notice in the Ave Maria of her "Memoirs." She is grateful for the commendation of the book. What Hudson suggests as to the Admiral's "success" being advanced by her is praise due to his first wife. She shared his early trials for seventeen years.

Mary's Shrine is beginning to make some returns thanks to Our Lady and the advertisement in the Ave Maria. He has not done anything for the Ave because the affair for the benefit of the church takes much of his time. He gave a charity lecture on temperance last evening in Allegheny. He is enjoying good health. The 100 Masses for the Dead have not arrived yet. He...

Scope and Contents It is a whole month since she was at Notre Dame. She has been so busy since then that her correspondence is dreadfully in arrears.

Scope and Contents Hudson must think that she is devoid of common etiquette for not answering his letter of the 21st. She has become a chronic crank and cannot summon sufficient courage to write. She expects to find Father Lambing's production both instructive and interesting. Not long ago she wrote to Fr. General requesting permission to allow Mother Lucretia, C.S.C., to come to Cairo for the holidays. She received a reply but no satisfaction on the subject. If the request is refused she will stop at St....
