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...

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.

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 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...

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 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 Meany is soliciting funds not that she has Archbishop James Frederick Wood 's permission to start Saint Patrick's Institute for Ladies. She hopes Hudson will pardon her long silence but she wanted to be sure of Wood's approval before appealing to Hudson's generosity.

Scope and Contents She is beginning to translate St. Anne of Auray. She will do the whole of it and send it to Hudson early in the fall as she is sure he would be pleased more with it that way than extracts from it at the present. About the reviews, she keeps to her bargain. Even though Hudson refused her favor of paying her in advance he paid her $30 out of $50 she wanted. She will send him a long or short review of every book he wishes from time to time. She has her own reasons for wanting just this...

Scope and Contents She waited until Hudson should not be too busy before she bothered him with a long letter, but the Ave Maria brought such great news of Notre Dame that she could not wait. She hopes Our Lady has given Hudson better health. It is very unpleasant to be misunderstood and especially by a priest. The reasons Hudson gave for refusing her request were not good ones, even though he thought so. He has said so many similar applications, but she states that if the Ave Maria is the Blessed Virgin's...

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

She compliments Father Hudson in that he is not materialistic like many people of this era are. She recommends Miss Eliza Allen Starr's article entitled "The Glorification of the Passion".

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 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 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...
