Scope and Contents Their letters crossed each other and he did not answer Hudson at once because there can be little in his letters to interest Hudson.

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter of the 21st telling of Montrose Graham's death has brought grief to him and Mrs. Dallas. He had previously written to Capt.

She thanks Hudson for defending Jack Thornton. A dreadful scandal has just occurred in Washington originating in the evil on which "Ade's Trust" is...

Scope and Contents She has wondered why Hudson sends her such laconic notes. She is afraid that her recent manifestos have given him the idea that she is somewhat of a virago. She knows that all she has endured has embittered her. If she had used the opportunities given her to the fullest she doubtless could have been a saint. Her life has been a continuous conflict.

She complains that Catholic literature has long neglected to appreciate...
