Scope and Contents Hudson's letter of the 15th received with the Scholastic. It seemed natural to be correcting again. She is afraid Hudson will not send any more after he sees how particular she is. She has learned more of Notre Dame since the fire. Hudson need not try to find out about the Japanese martyr as she has obtained some examples. She does not know whether to put her name to "Into Port" or not, but she prefers S.L. Emery. Hudson should omit her name. She would like to know if Hudson wants...

Scope and Contents Miss Emery is disappointed as she has received nothing for her "Into Port". She wonders if Hudson's letter could have been lost. She does not like to take anything from the Ave Maria with all the trouble at Notre Dame, but for the last two years she has earned so very little. 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...

Scope and Contents She has received payment for the Ave Maria from Mrs. Robert Welsh, Miss Julia McCarthy, Mrs. P. J. Saunders and Mrs. Michael Kilian. Two others may pay her next week while three wish to discontinue their order. They are Mrs. Thomas J. Griffin, Mrs. David Ronan and Mrs. Leslie. She will keep the money until she finds out if the others will pay. She asks if she may take her payment for "Consolation" from this. She is anxious to hear from Hudson as Miss Churchill told her that she heard,...

Scope and Contents She encloses two sonnets for the Ave Maria. In the one on St. Francis she is not sure the correct expression is used in the note or in the last lines of the sonnet speaking of "devotion". In return she asks a favor. She would like to have Hudson send her two more pictures from Overbecle. They are wanted for a peculiar case in which a Catholic convert married a Protestant man and later took communion in his church. He told another Catholic that he should do all he could to make her a...

Scope and Contents Miss Emery would like to have payment at once for the articles Hudson has on hand. 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"...

Scope and Contents

Hudson's letter with $15 received. Miss Emery asks Hudson to send the Ave Maria to two persons whose addresses are enclosed.

She has been away from the sacraments for years and is now ill. A neighbor is trying to obtain a visit to her by a priest. Miss Emery thinks that four lines were omitted in the proof of the first stanza of the poem, and she gives the lines left out. The lines omitted are intended to bring in the strong faith of the man. In the last...

Scope and Contents At the request of friend Emery advocates the publishing in the Ave Maria of this woman's story "Lydia's Inheritance", which besides possessing literary merit gives a fine portrayal of one phase of New England life. If the story is suitable this friend would welcome remuneration. Emery would like to have Hudson's opinion concerning this story and her own article. "How One Manufacturer Paid His Dues". She notices a mistake in her name on the Ave Maria's mailing list. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp....

Scope and Contents She received two letters from Hudson, one containing seven dollars in payment for her story "Peter Audubon", and the other in answer to her letter regarding her friend's manuscript. Concerning the payment she believes a mistake probably due to a misunderstanding was made but she doesn't care to quibble over financial matters with the Ave Maria. About the other letter: her friend has taken it thus leaving Emery without being too well acquainted with its contents. However, she states in...

Scope and Contents She sends a poem very dear to her over which she has worked for some time. She asks Hudson if he knows of any case where the mother was placed in a room with her infant by persons who wished her to deny her Faith, but was not allowed to go to it unless she denied the Lord, thus watching the infant starve. She has heard of it in connection with Japanese Martyrdom in September of 1624. It was told by a Protestant and she wants the Catholic original. While Monica the mother was being...

Scope and Contents Miss Emery is sending this manuscript with a depression very unusual to her, as she usually seems cool to weigh her work but now she is troubled. She has not heard from Hudson. She is afraid her poem was not suitable for the Ave Maria. The opening article of the number received today delighted her as she likes anything that makes devotion to our Divine Queen. She shall be seen and known by all men as Our Lady, as one who does not have to make apologies. She hears nothing from "The...

Scope and Contents

She asks Hudson how the fire happened. She asks Hudson if he said, too, that he wondered how it could be that Our Lady's own institutions should suffer so much. Yet she must have been watching, but it is strange. Will it cause the magazine hinderance? She wishes she could help. She is sending a third number of "May Matters" from the "Cloister," these are for $2 each and she wishes she could say for nothing. She wants Hudson to inform her if he wants them. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

The article on "Master Conrad de Marbourg" is the one offered to the "Month" and she never heard from them, nor found it in print.

It has been a long time since she has heard from Hudson. She asks how Hudson is and how Notre Dame is arising from the ashes. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents She has just read a book by Madame Craven, which seems to be a new work. It has the imprint "Didier Cie, Paris, 1879". She does not know if it has been translated and wonders if there is any harm in her making use of it in the enclosed article. If suitable for the Ave Maria she believes it would be good to use it while it is still fresh to the people. She asks Hudson if people still give up their all and serve for prose as the ladies of Naples did? She has an idea for another article...

Scope and Contents Miss Churchill has gone and given Miss Emery her manuscript to finish as she had not completely copied it, and Miss Emery will share in the profits. They hope to have it ready for the feast, but one calendar, "Ursuline Manual", gives it in September instead of August. On page 6 the word chalice occurs and she wonders if this is correct. She is sorry about Master Conrad and she wants Hudson to save the copy for her. She suggests to Hudson to print more narrative poems like the last of...

Scope and Contents Through the kindness of Mr. E.C. Arnold she received Hudson's letter relative to her becoming a contributor to the Ave Maria. She now sends a short article of hers named "Domina Mea, Mater Mea." If this story can not be used she asks that it be retained until she writes again regarding it. Before proceeding with her work on the serial story which Hudson proposed that she write she would like to know when "Nora" will be concluded, what the length of each chapter should be, and what...

Scope and Contents

She received Hudson's note. If he accepts the story she will appreciate it greatly. As yet she has not received a copy of the magazine Ave Maria. :: X-2-d A.L.S. Postal Card

Scope and Contents Emery thanks Hudson for the two dollars he sent her. Among the stories in the Ave Maria, those of greatest interest to her are "Cyril's Vocation", and "The Life of Pere Lacordaire". The latter article has a special interest to her for it recalls memories of an essay she submitted to the Month in 1876 on a related subject but for which she never received any acknowledgement. She has since rewritten and included a few revisions in this essay. Feeling that it would refer to and complement...
