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 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.

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...

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 has received the 17th Installment and the Ave Maria containing the account of the miraculous rescue of your Father General Edward Sorin, C.S.C. aboard the ship he was on.

Scope and Contents She hopes to have news about the formation of a new order. She has completed the first chapters of "Going Forward" and will take some time to complete it.

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 pleased with the story Hudson sent her and if he is not in too much of a hurry she will have it translated and ready for the July and August issues of the Ave Maria. 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.

Scope and Contents She is sorry that she had to conclude "Our Lady's Work" without the particulars of several cures which she had intended to include. In order to conform with Notre Dame's policy of no publicity for Our Lady's miraculous work at Notre Dame she had to abridge the last part of the story. She believes that Notre Dame is overly modest in this regard. If the leading institutions in the nation brush off this responsibility where are the lay people to look for guidance? She refers to "ex votos"...

Scope and Contents She thanks Hudson for his letter and enclosure. She tries to change Hudson's passive attitude toward her story about the litanies by showing that this devotion has the approbation of the bishops. She reminds him that his lack of enthusiasm toward this new feature may be due to the severe mortifications to which he has been put. She believes that "Litanies" offer a great field for action. When her aunt was sick she had a good example of the narrow-mindedness of some priests and...

Scope and Contents Miss Meany has sent the first part to Hudson and fears the translation poor. She cannot work in long spells yet as she has had a season of utter prostration. She thanks Hudson for his sympathy, but tells him that she is getting used to so many disappointments. She is glad the Ave Maria is against Victor Emanuel as every choir sent representatives in his honor at the Italian church. She comments on how the world has changed since Pio Nono died. She tells of material she was collecting,...

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...
