Scope and Contents Hudson will be happy to announce the work more than once and thanks Brownson for the information. He wants to accentuate the value of this life on account of being recent, scholarly and Catholic. If he had not been so busy this week preparing the contents of the volume of the Ave Maria, he would have written an announcement of the book. He will jog Father Thomas E. Walsh's memory about the photographs, although he hates to nag persons like him—there is so little satisfaction in it. Books as...

Scope and Contents Hudson delayed his answer to Brownson's last letter, hoping to be able to go to Detroit this week, but because of a shortage of priests at Notre Dame he cannot. Tarducci's work ought to be the more acceptable for not being in the florid style; if it was, discriminating readers would be apt to think him a rhetorician rather than a historian and question the truth of his statements. James F. Edwards is back and was speaking of the photographs last night. Hudson would be glad to print as...

Scope and Contents He had just finished writing Brownson when the extracts arrived. Before Brownson goes to any further trouble, Hudson wishes to explain his plan to give appetizing extracts from the work under some such general title as "Episodes in the Life of Columbus" or "Leaves from a New Life". If the extractions are not interesting and fresh and served up in a way to attract readers, they would not serve Hudson's purposes and would defeat Brownson's. They must give the best wine first. Brownson's idea...

Scope and Contents

Hudson received the extracts last week and some of them are already in type for immediate use. He suggests that they run the extracts through the four weeks of October, allow three pages of the Ave Maria to them each week, and perhaps use another batch later. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Hudson could not read the last installments of proofs Brownson sent until Sunday and was hoping to hear from him about the plan proposed. October would be the month and the extracts might be run till the end of November. In the proofs received from Brownson there is nothing quotable that has not already been given in Father Knight's Life of Columbus. He has a batch of the corners in type, and the first is used this week. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Hudson thanks Brownson for his letter of the 12th. Illness has prevented an earlier acknowledgement. His regret regarding the extracts is on account of causing Brownson so much trouble. The extract he sent last is used for the "Readings" this week; it suits its double purposes well. Tarducci is accurate and thoroughly versed in his subject, and the Life light go well. He hopes Brownson is feeling very much letter than he is. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Hudson sends to Henry a copy of this week's "Ave Maria", in which there is a notice of Henry's undertaking. Henry's circular is what Hudson was thinking of when he wrote to Henry, but Hudson regrets that Henry did not announce the portrait for the first volume. The circular ought to be sent to priest and the heads of libraries everywhere in this country and to every Catholic publication, also to such periodicals as the Atheneum, Critic, Dial etc. Hudson wants two sets of the work which...

Taher Hudson thanks Brownson for the photograph and assures him that Professor James Edwards will take the best of care of it. He hopes that Brownson is now fully recovered. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo,

Scope and Contents Father Hudson sends two copies of the Month and one of the Ave Maria for Brownson to see. The review published in the New York Times may have been reprinted in the Catholic and was reprinted in the Universe of Cleveland, probably not in the Michigan Catholic. He cannot find a copy of the Universe to send. Hudson was mistaken about General John A. Logan : it was his brother who was minister to Chile and had a son at Notre Dame. However, Colonel William Hoynes knows the general and will give...

Scope and Contents

Father Hudson thanks Brownson for the Edinburgh Review which he now returns. It confirms his opinion that Father Curci is a "crank", his knowledge imperfect, and his information drawn from one side. However the article was worth reading. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Hudson was surprised and disappointed to learn that nothing had been done on his book cases. On the same paper:

Hudson is grateful for the copy of Murray's "History". A notice of it will be given in an early number of their little paper. Sadlier and Company do not send him publications for notice. P.S. The circulation of the "Ave Maria " is now over 10,000 copies. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Hudson was sorry to find Bishop John L. Spalding 's essay on the Virgin Mary reprinted in the volume that Kehoe has just issued, without reference to the Ave Maria for which it was originally written. Hudson holds the copyright. It is true Hudson did not pay for the essay, but did not offer remuneration for fear of giving offense. The volume was given favorable notice in the Ave Maria and the Scholastic. Hudson is not unfriendly to the Catholic Publishing Society, but it seems it is...

Scope and Contents In answer to Clarke's letter of February 22, Hudson says that Father Joseph Reze, C.S.C is not even distantly related to the late Bishop of Detroit, Frederick Rose. Father Camillus P. Maes, the present secretary to Bishop Borgess, is well informed on diocesan history and would be glad to help Clarke. Hudson rejoiced that Clarke is thinking of publishing a third volume of his valuable work and would appreciate a set of the work autographed. Father Sorin remembers Clarke and sends his...

Instructions for the title page of the Ave Maria, including a diagram and the finished page. :: X-3-i A.L.S. 5pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Hudson thanks Henry for the proofs and for his kind suggestions. An elaborate index such as Henry mentions was out of the question for Hudson. He hasn't Callier's address here but has written for it and will send it as soon as received. Title proofs also received. There have been many applications for the Index. He asks what Henry thinks of announcing the publication of the complete works on the last page. It may serve as a food advertisement. Many want the Index who have not the Review at...

Scope and Contents Hudson thanks Brownson for a book recently received and reminds him of copies, which were to be sent to the Lemonnier Library. He informs Brownson of the New Orleans address of Father Peter Paul Cooney, reminding him to send a bill. He asks Brownson to read the proofs of an article written by himself to promote the sale of Brownson's father's writings. He approves a sketch written by John Mac Carthy but feels, that it does not sufficiently direct attention to the work of Brownson the...

Scope and Contents Hughes' daughter, Carrie Angela Hughes, has prospects of receiving from the Board of Lady Managers of the World Columbian Exposition an appointment as their representative. She is an expert in embroidery and qualified for the position. Hughes encloses a letter from Mother Angela Gillespie, C.S.C., informing Hudson who she is. Father Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., has known them for thirty years and he has written Eliza Allen Starr that he would do all he can to help the godchild of Mother...

Scope and Contents Hughes states he knows of the condition of the "Freeman's Journal." He believes it would be a calamity to the Catholics if it should cease to exist. He understands that those who have been its friends desire to stand by it. Hughes has advanced a small sum to the paper which he is ready to forget if the paper should go on vigorously. He has in his mind a project that he believes could make the Freeman's Journal the most effective Catholic Journal published in the English languages; but...

Scope and Contents Hughes has complied with Lefevere's request regarding the letter to the Archbishop Vincent Edward Milde of Vienna. Lefevere may be at a disadvantage as the Archbishop has a strong prejudice against Bishop Frederick Résé and his affairs. Lefevere has found enough to learn that the office of bishop is not a sinecure. Hughes trusts Lefevere will pay a visit after he gets things in order. Father _____ O'Cavanagh called on Hughes who advised him to enter some religious house. Hughes thinks that...

Scope and Contents So far as regards the College Fordham , Hughes gave Bayley his general ideas. He advises Bayley to keep his bills collected as they become due, Bayley's wants will be his apology and he should allow no bill to fall into arrears that can be collected with law. John Harley is, Hughes thinks, not worse. He cannot say Harley is much better. Hughes is well pleased with the progress of his views on this side, so far. The Oxford Movement is progressing still and Hughes has been told in...

This letter will be presented by the Abbe Boquet to whom the enclosed document refers. He has been led astray, but seems disposed to make reparation. If Lefevere can encourage him, he may save him and even find him laboring for the salvation of others. In New York there is no opportunity for him because of his ignorance of the English language. Enclosure:

Scope and Contents In an Apostolic letter Pope Pius IX has proclaimed a jubilee on the occasion of his elevation to the Papal throne to which he attached a plenary indulgence. The Bishop has already urged them to fulfill the obligations of lent. He now adds to that his urgent plea that they fulfill the conditions to obtain this plenary indulgence. The time for enjoying the indulgence is limited by the Holy Father to three weeks. In this diocese this will be from the third Sunday of Lent until Palm Sunday....
