Box CHUD 5

Scope and Contents

Hudson should inform through the Ave Maria if an English edition of the life of St. Michael de Ganti has ever been published. :: X-2-j A. Postcard S.

Scope and Contents Would Hudson like a note from Knock now and then for the Ave Maria? Knock is not yet authorized by the Church as a place of devotion but they hope on the return of their archbishop from Rome some approbation may be given. Their convent is now quite established with special devotions to the holy souls and daily Mass and frequent Benediction in the Chapel which is only a literal log house. The cures are too numerous for record but she mentions one that is well authenticated, that of...

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents

She encloses a poem for the Ave Maria as a poetical alms to the suffering souls. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 1 p. 64mo.

Scope and Contents Hudson's pleasant lines reached her yesterday. She feels her life is a failure because her sufferings have embittered her instead of making her resigned and submissive. It would do her good to see Hudson. James Gillespie Blaine has failed her so far. He means well but being Irish he is impulsive and generous; the Irish are given to great gush and Mr. Blaine is simply full of Mr. Blaine. She got a letter from Gen. Ulysses S. Grant telling her he had written to the President about Angie's...

Scope and Contents

She asks about the terms of subscribing to the Ave. She is a public school teacher. Mayport is a small town and the pastor visits them only once a month. She offers her services as a contributor. There have been many good writers in her family. Charles J. Kickham was a relative of her father. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 4 pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Such kind exaggerations as Hudson's come in with profit and encouragement. If he had the necessary capital, with God's help, he could accomplish much. Hudson should remember him in his prayers, especially next Tuesday, which will be fateful to him as well as the politicians. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 2 pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents

Having always understood that the Catholic Church forbids marriage of first cousins he was surprised to read in Lady Georgiana Fullerton's "Eliane" that Catholic cousins were married. Previously a "Tale" appeared in the Ave Maria in which three godparents married their godchildren. No explanation of either of these articles was published. These articles have occasioned bitter criticism from non-Catholics. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 3 pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

They are busy preparing for a bazaar. It is in aid of their convent. :: X-2-i A.L. Incomplete 2pp. 16mo.

Scope and Contents

He sends by express his novelette, "Father Tom." :: X-2-j A.L.S. 1 p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

She thanks Hudson for his favor of Nov. 6. They are sending him a pyx-case from St. Teresa and a scapular containing a relic of St. Teresa. If he exchanges with Donahoe's Magazine he should notice the articles by their Father Ryan on St. Teresa. :: X-2-j A. Postcard S.

Scope and Contents

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

He leaves tomorrow under orders for Fort Lyon, Colorado. Hudson's letter was received this morning and he will answer it at his new post. They have no resident priest, but a Jesuit missionary from Pueblo, Colorado, will visit them. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

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...

Scope and Contents

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. He could translate stories occasionally for the Ave if Hudson wishes. He requests a copy of the issue in which the article appears. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
