Scope and Contents Strange as it may seem the death of a dear friend, Sister Cornelia Connelly, makes her rejoice for besides putting an end to the sister's many earthly trials she also feels that the Religious Order of which the sister was the real foundress will new succeed. She is uncertain whether it is permissible to print a short biography of the sister in the Ave Maria. She feels greatly indebted to the Blessed Virgin and to the priests at Notre Dame for the prompt way in which they obtained her...

Scope and Contents The sickness of her aunt who has received the Last Sacraments and her own illness has prevented her from answering Hudson's letter sooner.

She is sending the first of a series of stories on "Our Lady's work in our midst". The others will follow as soon as possible. She was sorry to hear that Hudson was ill. :: X-2-d...

Scope and Contents

She received Hudson's letter. She planned to rewrite the story but her time has been so completely occupied that she has decided to make only a few alterations and deletions. She intends to add some information about a miracle and a remarkable cure. She wants Hudson's opinion on a series of articles concerning the Litanies which she intends to write. She is happy to hear that Hudson's health has improved. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Miss Meany hopes that her story. St. Martin, was not too late. She returns the Magazine with it and thanks Hudson for the loan. She will send more copy soon. She thanks Hudson for his note and for the remittance it contained. She will keep the money toward her poor St. Patrick's monthly. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. crown 8vo.

Scope and Contents "Dion and the Sibyls" went to the wrong person for notice. Miss Meany believes the fashion nowadays for Catholic authors is to separate what was united in the Incarnation and show Christ as a historical personage. She disagrees with this idea and will have nothing to do with it as she believes in edifying Catholic stories. In the story Dion and the Sibyls she notices that the most eloquent passage in it is a glorification of gladiators who are silent under the agony of a violent death....

Scope and Contents

She thanks Hudson for sending "St. Anne". She was expecting a letter from him. She hopes that the notice of "Dion" will meet with Hudson's approval as she would hate to disappoint someone where expectation is just and reasonable. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. crown 8 vo

Scope and Contents She has mustered enough courage to make a beginning which she hopes Miss Starr, Miss Howe, Miss Stace, and other lady contributors will join. She encloses her article. Miss Meany is wondering if the Ave Maria would advertise in the St. Patrick's Monthly. The circular enclosed is one page of the St. Patrick's Monthly. She is getting it printed at the Catholic Protectory in Westchester, New York, in the same size and style as Brownson's Review. After Miss Meany receives the first copy the...

Scope and Contents In delayed answer to Hudson's query, she states that she already has secured the Archbishop's permission to begin the publishing of St. Patrick's Monthly. The only remaining obstacle hindering the printing of the first number is a lack of funds. In order to remove this impediment, to the first publication of this magazine founded with the purpose of encouraging Catholic business enterprise among women she humbly asks Hudson to pay for the many different articles she has contributed to...

Scope and Contents Mary L. Meany expresses gratitude to Hudson for the ten dollars she received from him and for the graces of the last few weeks which she is sure are a result of his prayers. She explains why his prayers were so highly valued. When she first spoke of the order of the Immaculate Conception to her confessor, the Encyclical of Pio Nono regarding secret orders seemed to show her that she was to have an active part in the struggle between the Church and those secret orders. Her confessor and...

Scope and Contents She has forgotten if Hudson wanted a complete translation or only the chapters relating to the pilgrimage so she is sending the first page of the translation of St. Anne. She disagrees with Hudson with references to the religious giving an example of charity. He says that Notre Dame has not failed in being charitable, but she claims that giving charity and giving an example of charity are two different things. If the religious would give charity openly instead of secretly it would set a...

Scope and Contents Hudson would be overwhelmed if he had received all the letters that have been started to him but never finished. Our Lady's feast brought her no consolation, but she remembered a promise made to St. Joseph, that she would write articles for his month. Now she can answer Hudson's suggestion about the Reverend Mother at St. Mary's. When Miss Meany had been advised to write to Father Gillespie about the Order, he was ill. She would have written to Mother Angela, C.S.C. at the time had she...

Scope and Contents

Hudson should have received the conclusion of "Barbara's Lesson" by now. Miss Meany thought Hudson would like to have the stories connected to form a series. She sets a price of $20 for all thirteen stories. "St. Anne" will be ready by the end of May. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.

Scope and Contents Enclosed is another of the series of industrial stories. Hudson over paid her for "Barbara's Lesson". Will Hudson take the whole series? The first tale was not altogether suited for youthful readers. Her idea of children's reading is something that will expand their faculties. There is much frivolity in the best Catholic families. Some influence is needed to keep up the tone of baptized children. Miss Meany is glad Hudson liked "Our Lady of Miracles". If Hudson approves of it she will...

Scope and Contents

Hudson's telegram received. The fifth part of the story of the "Statue" was mailed yesterday. The third installment was mailed that day and the second was mailed 10 or 11 days previously. Have all of these been lost? Miss Meany will send the conclusion tomorrow, two weeks before it should appear. If any portion is missing, Hudson should write. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 1p. 8vo

Hudson's card received. The manuscripts have been mailed regularly. The final pages should be at Notre Dame by Monday.

Hudson's letter and money order received. Miss Meany will send "The Eve of the Assumption" on Friday, hoping it will arrive in time for the Festival. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 1p. 12mo

Scope and Contents Miss Meany has completed "St. Anne." She managed to keep it within the limits desired. Due to her health, Miss Meany cannot send as many stories for the "Children's Department" as intended. "The Eve of the Assumption" was not complete but seemed to end well. She is working on "The Emigrants", but it is not for the Children's Department. Half of it was sent last week under the name of "After the Nights the Day." She will forward the remainder of it if Hudson does not have a serial story...

Scope and Contents She has looked each week in the Ave Maria for news of the health and whereabouts of Father Hudson, but was disappointed. She hopes his visit to Georgetown was invigorating and restful. She is grateful to Father Hudson's "successor" for including three of her articles which she names.

She has moved from the home of her worldly relatives and with her aunt will start an Institute for Catholic women, to give adults whatever...

Scope and Contents The past years have been so full of petty cares that even our Blessed Mother's journal was put aside unread until this year. There was one editorial, on Hudson's father's death, which she should have seen earlier; she expresses her sympathy at length. She always felt Hudson was a convert because the fear of God is missing among born Catholics nowadays and only in converts is it steadfast. Hudson was right when he implied in his letter of Candlemas that aid would come to her through Our...
