He thanks Edwards for the interest he takes in his son Willie. It is reassuring to feel that there is someone about him who feels a particular interest in his welfare, even though one has the utmost confidence in those to whose care he is entrusted.

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".

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 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"...
