Scope and Contents Howe received the copy of "Record of a Suffering Soul" for which she thanks Hudson. Doctor Kilroy acknowledged receipt of Rose Howe 's Memoirs and sends a copy of Visit to "Bois d' Haine". Father Aegidius Hennemann sent her a picture of St. Francis de Sales to whom she has devotion. Howe knows the original Daisy Garnett who lives in Chicago and visits the Dorseys occasionally in Washington. Eliza Allen Starr claims Howe and Garnett are exactly alike. Howe wrote to Anna Hanson Dorsey...

Scope and Contents Howe sends the check for Dr. Kilroy's five dollars. She did think of going to St. Mary's next week but she is not well. She asks Hudson to give her compliments to Mother Angela Gillespie . Dr. Kilroy writes he was so scared by Pearl that he could hardly sleep after reading the pamphlet. The consequences of what people say are often serious; so it was with the statement that Howe was like Daisy Garnet . When she was a child, many predicted Howe would terminate in reckless worldliness. ::...

Will Hudson see that the inclosed letter reaches Father General Edward Sorin, C.S.C. ? He may be absent; if he is, Hudson should keep it until he can give it to him. She presented Father Julian Benoit's kind letter of introduction to Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan . She was courteously received and permission given to her to come again. She hopes to be able to gain his kindly feeling in time. :: X-2-h A.L.S. 1 p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Howe asks Hudson to thank Father-General Edward Sorin, C.S.C. , and Father Alexis Granger, C.S.C., for the satisfaction she and her mother experienced from the performance of their Jubilee. She knows God will send her some one but she does not think it will be Father H. F. Joseph Kroll . The clergy of Chicago had a fine opinion of Howe and certain things would have not caused more than a ripple but for Eliza Allen Starr . It was a bitter pill for Starr to see Howe approaching her...

Scope and Contents Howe requests two copies of the article on Pere Marquette. She is glad that Hudson is pleased with the memorial of Rose Howe. It was printed at Howe's expense, without any idea of profit. It pleased the priests of Chicago, who had known Rose and they urged it be printed. Howe was unwilling to publish it for a profit, but agreed to let Father Martin van de Laar publish it and the proceeds be used for his parish in South Chicago, but this was not carried out. She submits a poem. :: X-2-h...

Howe sends Hudson a copy of the Memorial from which the "Record" can be copied. :: X-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Howe asks Hudson to send the defective copy of Rose F. Howe's memoir to Mr. Robert Fergus . Father Martin van de Laar was delighted with the "Record" and made a plan of a little memoir to form a missionary pamphlet he was going to publish. Then the control of his salary was taken from him. He had to present his accounts to his superior. One of Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan's first acts of mercy was to refund to this priest all that had been withheld. Howe confided her plan for a memorial...

Howe has received the book "Foot of the Cross". She thinks the writer of the article on Louis Pasteur has cruel ideas about allowing dumb animals to be used for Medical experiments. :: X-3-b A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.

Howe looked for a copy of the paper mentioning the accident but could not find it. She received a letter from Bishop Camillus Paul Maes the other day. :: X-3-b A.L.S. 2pp. 16mo.

Scope and Contents

A letter is enclosed which Hudson is asked to deliver to Miss Howe's mother or sister when they come to Notre Dame. Because of her recent and still lingering illness she does not know when she will be able to write again for the Ave Maria. She doubts whether Hudson will miss her contributions since she has always presented her material in a manner radically different from that of her contemporaries. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Miss Howe reminds Hudson of a statement she made previously about one of her teachers who was English by birth and of her younger sister who still remains in England and writes for the English Catholic press. One of her productions is entitled "Aubrey Court" and as yet she had not found a suitable place to publish it. So Miss Howe wrote to the sister, Miss Amy Marshall, suggesting that she have it published in the Ave Maria. In her reply to Miss Howe she states that she would like to...

Howe will be unable to visit Notre Dame on August 15. She asks Hudson if he can give more information on the murder of Archbishop Charles Seghers :: X-3-e A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents She received Hudson's letter. Hudson's kind offer of assistance will probably be used although she definitely does not like the subscription method of raising money. She is sorry that she omitted Father Frederick Faber's priestly title in her list of authors. She does not like the way the word catholicity has usurped the meaning of the word Catholicism. She is fully aware of the fact that many literary critics consider the writings of her and her sister frivolous but she defends her...

Scope and Contents Is Hudson aware of the compulsory education agitation originated in the Women's Club of Chicago? There is some hatred of the Catholic Church in it, but more sheer love of notoriety. Nearly a year ago, Howe boarded in the family of the ringleader of the gang. Her parents were friends of Robert G. Ingersoll. Members of that committee of the Women's Club used to call where Howe boarded. The leader is about forty years old, showy in general appearance and well known in offices downtown. She...

Scope and Contents

Howe requests Hudson send copies of the Ave Maria containing the review of "Robert Elsmere" to Doctor H. Green of Chesterton. She has heard that Father Stanislaus Fitte, C.S.C. received the impression from some Chicago clergy that her mother had profitably disposed of her property and is enjoying a liberal fortune. This is a mistake. It is evident that an attempt to defraud Howe of her inheritance is being made. :: X-3-h A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Hudson's letter with enclosure received. Also the two last issues of the Scholastic. She has not received the Ave Maria for January 31. :: X-2-f A. Postcard S. 32 mo.

Scope and Contents She encloses a letter written to her by Father Henri Delbaere which because of its outstanding quality she wants returned so that she may keep it as a life-long treasure. She wishes to correct an impression given by the letter. She did not ask Delbaere to canvass regularly for her, but merely to use his influence for her advantage whenever a dignified opportunity presented itself. Just for the sake of appearance she believes it would be a good idea if Notre Dame and St. Mary's both...

Scope and Contents She received Hudson's letter and was glad to hear that he has already written to the publisher. The sending of the list was delayed so that she could include the names of several who she felt certain would soon subscribe. She explains the particulars involved in these additional names. She wonders whether it would be advisable to sell the books in Protestant book stores. Fifty cents is enclosed for which she wants Hudson to send her three copies of an old issue of the Ave Maria. ::...

Scope and Contents

She received Hudson's note inclosing a letter from the publishing company. She wrote to them answering their questions and asking the price of composition. The subscription for twenty copies of "Louise Lateau" by Notre Dame will create the desired effect on the publishers. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. crown 8 vo.

Scope and Contents Miss Howe has not heard anything from the publishers and thinks that Hudson should know this. She should have let Hudson take care of it from the beginning if she had not thought it an imposition to do so. She told them that it would take about two hundred pages of 12mo. at an average of three hundred words to the page. She now has one hundred and eighty two with her new additions and has other possibilities. She believes that Mr. Hickey's attempt to dispose of Rohling's work may do her...

Scope and Contents Frances Howe knows that Hudson's column is crowded but the enclosed translation is for one of the nuns. The nun asked Miss Howe to ask Hudson to put it in. The nun wants it to appear on the festival of St. Vincent as she was making some kind of a novena to that saint and promised him that she would make him more widely known. If Hudson can find room for the nun's ex voto, he need not mention whence it comes as nuns desire little publicity. Rose will reply to his letter and Frances Howe...

Scope and Contents She encloses the design for the frontispiece which she received from Sister Maurice. She thinks Hudson will urge the insertion of it in the book. His position gives him access to engraving firms. Miss Eliza Allen Starr is ill and cannot help her by going to any Chicago firms. Anyhow she always opposed the school of art to which Sister Maurice adheres more than she aid that of Luigi Gregori. She would not like the design. Miss Starr is an advocate of the Turner School and it would take...

Scope and Contents She is sorry to admit that the subscriptions for her prospective book, "Louise Lateau", have been much slower than she expected. She believes that the lack of success is due more to the unpopularity of the subscription system than to the unpopularity of the book. Catholics, she thinks, are especially wary of buying literature of unknown quality. However, because of the great influence exerted by the few publishers she does have, she considers them of much more value than an impressive...

Scope and Contents Her sister did not receive the money Hudson mentioned in his letter but they have already written home to ask whether it was received there. Since publishers will not accept her story unless she has a large subscription list, and the public will not subscribe unless she is connected with a reputable publisher, she has a very perplexing problem to solve. Without the help of the Holy Cross Fathers the situation seems hopeless. She would prefer a Protestant publisher because he would be...

She received Hudson's letter and she will be glad to have him make out a list of probable subscribers to her article. She and her friends will then write to each one of them personally. When the answers have been received she will request Hudson to write her an introductory letter to publishers. Her sister Rose Howe has notified Hudson of the arrival of the money which he sent. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Miss Howe wants Hudson to send a copy of the April 13th number of the Ave Maria as their copy form St. Catherine's has not been forwarded. Frances Howe wants the "cis" on her first name changed to "ces" on the address of the Ave Maria. She has been arguing with Kelly, Piet, Co. about this and is afraid that her book will come out with a man's name. The interior scaffolding in the Church of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart is being removed. Miss Howe received a notice from Washington stating...

Scope and Contents She wrote to Hudson some time ago about an arrangement with the Ave Maria and also about a personal interview with Father Julian Benoit and he asked her to be patient until the pastor at Chesterton was changed. Now she has no hopes of the change until the Catholics of Porter County have been scolded out of their jealously of her family. Porter County Catholics say that the Howes are rolling in wealth and Fathers Michael O'Reilly and Timothy O' Sullivan second their assertions. It...

Scope and Contents It is a whole month since she was at Notre Dame. She has been so busy since then that her correspondence is dreadfully in arrears. Her cousin was delighted with Notre Dame and although her name is so intensely Catholic she is a Protestant, but she thinks Notre Dame roused the Catholic blood in her. The writer stopped in Chesterton on her return and visited Mrs. Green, who again spoke earnestly of the Catholic religion. She will suggest to Father H F. J. Kroll that he make a New Year's...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter and the Ave Maria for Dec. 9 were received. Is want of space Hudson's sole reason for rejecting the chapters on St. Catharine that were omitted? She intends to publish her story of St. Catharine in book form as a refutation of the scandal being spread about St. Catharine. Her name on a title page does her no good. Even though it appeared on her previous stories she was accused of not writing them herself. She describes a visit she made to Dr. Green's family in...
