Miss Meany encloses a translation for the Ave Maria from the Annals of St. Joseph. She hopes that the feast of St. Joseph will bring the fulfillment of Hudson's fondest desires. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

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 tells Hudson of the death of her sister, speaking of their estrangement, which lasted to the end, hastening her death. She sends a sketch for the Feast of St. Aloysius. If admired, a sort of sequel for the Feast of the Visitation, will be sent. If Fr. Hudson has not the first part of "Our Lady of Miracles" which she sent some years ago, she will rewrite it.

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter received. Miss Meany asks Hudson to overlook her neglect and expresses her gratitude for Hudson's kindness. She sends several articles with the conclusion of "After the Night, the Day." Perhaps "How A Saint Was Made" would suffice as a variety. Miss Meany believes there is need of practical religious literature. She is aware of the fact that Hudson has no preference for sentimental, or dry, or suggestive literature. The original of the French story is called "The...

Scope and Contents Medary refers to a letter received from Simon Whitt, Xniffin, Wayne County, Iowa, in which Whitt expresses his desire for a copy of the "Freeman's Journal." Simon is a self-appointed agent for "The Crisis." Medary believes if McMaster would take the trouble to send Simon a prospectus, the latter would probably interest himself for the "Journal" also. He encloses two dollars for Simon in consideration of the good he has done them. He wishes the receipt to be sent to the office of "The...

Scope and Contents He presumes that the outrages and injuries McMaster felt in Ft. La Fayette will incline him to sympathy with those imprisoned in this bastille and to make efforts to bring about their release and to bring notice of their condition to the public. McMaster probably saw in the Dubuque Herald that Meehan was arrested August 14; since that time he has sought a hearing, but has had no answer to his pleas. His arrest was brought about by partisan conspiracy to defeat him for Congress. The...

Scope and Contents Believing that McMaster's paper should be helped by those who appreciate his untiring efforts in behalf of civil and religious liberty and the Constitution, as given to us by our forefathers, and believing that his own interest as well as public good will be promoted by continued publication of the Freeman's Journal, he sends $20 for 20 copies of the campaign paper. McMaster may send one to him at 15 Wall Street, and dispose of the others as he sees best for the good of the paper. ::...

Scope and Contents Judging by the extraordinary gathering of last night, the friends of McClellan seem to be more determined than ever to force this man upon us. McMaster should remind them that Martin Van Buren badly defeated General Cass in 1840 although he had hardly any vote outside of New York, and in 1860 Douglas found that he was helpless without the assistance of the "hard shells." Since Megarey is neither office holder or office seeker, he would rather vote for the devil himself than for...

Scope and Contents Meline was disappointed by Hudson's criticism and rejection of her article. For years she has been knocking at the door of the Catholic World and only partially succeeded, but now she has given up after the trash Monsignor Robert Seton writes was preferred to her stories. If Father Augustine Hewit were to take the helm her stories would have a chance. As for the Fireside it is a year since Meline washed her hands of it. As for Mr. Dunne the saying, a shoemaker should stick to his last...

She sends a short insertion and hopes it will find favor in Hudson's eyes. It was written long ago but nothing was done about it so she partly rewrote it. She has to depend upon her pen for support.
