Scope and Contents He received Hudson's letter. The duties of his parish have prevented him from writing for the Ave Maria lately.

He has a prospectus made of a volume on Matrimony, Civil and Mixed Marriages, and Divorce, which he intends to write, but these plans must wait until the History is completed. He mentions a few changes which should be made when the next edition of his pamphlet on "Mixed Marriages" is printed. Then...

Scope and Contents

Lambing asks Hudson if he thinks it would not be well to have the Bishop of Fort Wayne examine the "Mixed Marriages", so as to get approbation for the next edition. He wants Hudson to inform him of his suggestions in time to carry them out without being hurried; for a city pastor is not the most independent of men. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents

Lambing advises Hudson to change the mailing of the Ave Maria as he has now moved into his new house by the side of the church. He tells Hudson that some advertisement has been given on his two books and does not think this announcement is too early. He would like a few days of repose at Notre Dame. P.S. The cover of his "Mixed Marriages" is very neat. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. 4to.

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents He does not have his house in order after moving and he is occupied by another task that will not last long.

He has been engaged for several years in collecting material for such work but cannot say when it will be undertaken. Hudson may send 50 copies, as he does not...

Scope and Contents

Lambing is about through with the revision of his manuscript, but will retain it until he returns from the retreat on the 27th. He would like to spend a few of these hot days in the shade of Notre Dame. He informs Hudson, confidentially, that the Catholic Parent's Friend is soon going to suspend publication, as the editor wanted Lambing to take a share in it and have it published in the east, but he has lost enough on the Catholic public. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. crown 8vo.

Scope and Contents Lambing sent the revised manuscript on mixed marriages to Hudson. It will make a larger pamphlet, but he cannot see how he can reduce it, and he believes it will have to be re-examined because of the new matter introduced. Bishop Joseph Dwenger's approbation is at the beginning of the manuscript, but should be kept out until the book is examined. The manuscript is written in pencil because he is quite nervous in warm weather. Lambing wants to know when the printing of it will commence,...

Scope and Contents He hopes of that his delay caused by being away from home in returning the proof sheets did not too greatly inconvenience Hudson. P.S. He proposes writing a short series of articles defining the positions of Catholics in regard to public morality. Since the language used in attacking certain amusements and illustrated papers will of necessity be frank and outspoken he wonders whether the story would be suitable for the Ave Maria. When he completes an outline of the proposed articles he...

Scope and Contents

His work keeps him too occupied to allow him to write for the Ave Maria at present though he expects that changed conditions will permit him to fulfill his promise sometime next month. He inquires about the progress of his pamphlet "Mixed Marriages." His article "A Memorial Altar" destined to appear in the Catholic World next week in his opinion will be found very interesting and appropriate by Hudson. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1 p. royal 8 vo

Scope and Contents

The regretable delay in obtaining the approbation of John Tuigg, Bishop of Pittsburgh for his pamphlet was due to the fact that the bishop is now extremely busy with diocesan duties.

Scope and Contents Lambing sends the manuscript for his book "Masses for the Dead". He makes suggestions as to the size page that might be used in the book. As remuneration for writing the book, Lambing will accept an agreed upon number of copies per one thousand books published.
