When the "Catholic Record" was in existence Mr. Hardy and Mr. Mahoney used to pay her at a fixed rate per article and not per page and she wonders if Hudson would be willing to do the same. She is writing this...

They are wanted for a peculiar case in which a Catholic convert married a Protestant man and later took communion in his church.

They are: "May Wreaths," "Some Saintly Stories," and a translation of a story about a boy named Julius. And only $2.00 has been paid on the poetry about St. Francis Xavier. It would not be right to make the same arrangements with Hudson as she has made with Mrs. Hecker as Mrs. Hecker was not accustomed to paying at all. The pay is very little, but it is of great assistance. The old Philadelphia "Record"...
