Scope and Contents

Since the books of Canon Law to be reviewed for the Ave Maria will not arrive until tomorrow he doubts whether the work can be completed in time for the next issue of the magazine. While possessing some knowledge of this subject and willingly trying to acquire more, he does not want to be quoted as an expert in the field of Canon Law. This is in acknowledgement of Hudson's postal card. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. Postal Card

Scope and Contents

He asks that the Ave Maria sent to his mother at his address in Hardinsburg be transferred to the name and address he lives. The Schmid story reads pretty well, but he was disappointed in the compiled article from the posts destined for Xmastide. He found the enclosed, culled by a friend, in his notebook. If it is proper Hudson should put it in the Ave. :: X-2-k A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Enclosed is a translation with the original of Rochefort's sonnet to Our Lady and Hudson may publish either, as he wishes. He asks Hudson if this H. R. is not the author or editor of the famous "Lanterne" that created such a furor in France in imperialistic times. He has two projected articles on hand for Hudson. He has collected several pieces of Protestant German poets in favor of Our Lady's honor. Information about the office hymns which the Church sings on her feasts has been...

Scope and Contents

He thanks Hudson for the information and the books which should come tomorrow. He has ceased to take "Alte Neue Welt" long ago. Hudson should send the numbers with "German Church Hymns" that he spoke of. Dom G. is too big for Jenkins, but he admires him at a respectful distance. :: X-2-e A. Postcard S. 1p.

Scope and Contents Hudson mentioned in his letter of the 16th that he sent some books to Jenkins but they have not been received, and he wants to know how they were sent. His health has improved from last summer but he is still not cured and has to bear his cross every day. He is tempted to sadness and the monks' "Mementomori" keeps ringing in his ears. It is a strain and he asks the Lord to pity our frail bodies and minds. He recommends to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart the final trial of his brother,...

Scope and Contents He believes that he and Hudson would recognize each other if they were to meet. He thanks Hudson for the photograph and thinks it is a most finished piece of work. He tells Hudson that the young editor of the "Ave Maria", old in wisdom, will find an honored place in his album beside his old professors of Louvain. He cannot make the longed for trip to Notre Dame because of the great distance, and everytime he takes a trip he suffers an illness afterwards. But God is good and they may yet...

Scope and Contents

He has received the books but can only use Caswall's as the others are foreign to his purpose. The translations of hymns of the Blessed Virgin in the Breviary nor the version by C. are not worth writing as he thinks he can equal them. If Hudson will back him up with his knowledge of Jenkin's ability he will get up an article with original translations and supplements of better versions of others. He does not wish to waste time. :: X-2-e A.L.S. Initial 1p postcard

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter and Ave Maria were received. He thanks Hudson for pointing out his errors in his manuscripts. He is returning the books Hudson sent him. He is glad that Miss Eliza Allen Starr has taken his subject in hand as he could obtain no adequate information on it. He thanks Hudson for his kindness and for the book he sent as he needs cheering more than anything else. His health has not improved. He asks Hudson to commission Father Alexis Granger to than Our Lady's confraternity...

Scope and Contents

Enclosed is $2.00 as a mite for the college in the way of subscribing for a copy of Maurice Egan's "Preludes." He has been collecting sonnets and hymns from the prominent Catholic poets. He supposes he dare not send Hudson a subscription for the Ave Maria as he refused before. Kindest wishes. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo

Scope and Contents Jenkins thanks Hudson for the copy of the annual. Since he did not receive a prompt reply to his last letter, Jenkins concludes that Hudson was gone because of his father's death. It is grievous to a Catholic heart to have someone die out of the Church. He has recommended the repose of his soul in Holy Mass. Jenkins believes there is some mistake in his receiving 4 volumes of "Preludes" as he ordered only 1 copy. Shall he send the extra copies back? Jenkins is proposing to combine some...

Scope and Contents

Jenkins believes Hudson has overlooked his late proposal, of selecting short, little known extracts from English Catholic Poets of this century. With Hudson's permission, he would supplement with a sample from respectively French, German, Spanish and Italian poets. It is 2nd and 3rd class poets they have to call from in English, while the masters may speak for us in the Catholic tongues of Europe. He asks Hudson to lend him a number of books that he lists. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents

A new article is being sent. It has grown much longer than Jenkins had intended. It needs curtailing. He would like several copies when it is printed. :: X-2-f A. Postcard S. 32 mo.

Scope and Contents

Jenkins sends 9 poems. "Our Lady's Sennight" has commenced publication in the Ave Maria. Hudson will have trouble with the latter half of the manuscripts. Jenkins would like to have 12 extra copies of the Ave Maria sent to an Academy in Uniontown, Ky. He would like 3 copies sent to himself. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo

Scope and Contents Jenkins is very grateful to Hudson for the two kind letters he sent to him and the receipt of the two volumes of Canon Law with instructions to review them for the Ave Maria overwhelmed him. That Hudson would entrust such an important task to a writer as inexperienced as Jenkins considers himself to be seems incredible. However he did not have sufficient modesty to refuse this request so he has already begun writing the revier. He will send it in a few days with the hope that Hudson...

Scope and Contents Jenkins had planned on meeting Hudson but he could not have stayed over 24 hours and his financial condition did not permit such a trip. Jenkins would like to engage Miss Eliza Allen Starr's good will and get the assistance of her prospective article on Church Hymns of the Blessed Virgin to eke out his three essays on English and German poems. He would like to join them all in a volume and title them "Mary's Catholic Chapels and Protestant Rosary." The first of the translated works of...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letters received. Hudson is always right in curtailing Jenkins' articles and he may change what he pleases. Jenkins does not agree with Hudson on keeping mum the matter in debate. Jenkins would like to see some European Catholic modesty take the place of the counterfeit article manufactured in this country. Jenkins may visit Hudson the 1st Sunday of September. Jenkins is going to take Hudson "down a peg" for the first time. Aristotle wants to say that "we are bound to give heed...

Scope and Contents

In Jenkins' last manuscript "Our Lady of Ransom", the first dates do not agree with other dates. Jenkins intended to change them but put them 100 years forward instead of backward. He instructs Hudson to change them. :: X-2-g A.Postcard S. 32mo

Scope and Contents Jenkins heard that Hudson was absent but expected home soon. He hopes that Hudson is not working too hard, as his job is not yet done. Benjamin Dionysius Hill, whose poems on the Blessed Virgin, were put in the first rank of Jenkin's article, is a Passionist. He was at Hardinsburg for a two weeks' mission. Hill promised Jenkins to send his sonnets to Hudson instead of the "Catholic World." This should aid the Ave Maria in being second to none in periodicals. He is sending a supplement...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter and two packages of books received. Jenkins has an ever increasing regard for Hudson and compares Hudson to himself. He sometimes thinks his esteem for Hudson and the Ave Maria is vanity and self interest. Hudson would be astounded by Father Benjamin Dionysius Hill's common prosaic language in his conversations, lecturers and sermons. He describes Hill. Jenkins is gratified to hear Hudson esteems Mr. James A. McMaster . McMaster seldom writes and is very independent....

Jenkins thanks Hudson for the gift. He will have news on the latest article shortly. :: X-2-h A. Postcard S. 1p. 32mo.

Scope and Contents Jenkins has been learning Italian. Humor Anna Hanson Dorsey all she needs. Jenkins can stand back for any of Hudson's real contributors. If Hudson sends "Miriaume" Jenkins will go over it again. He is not going to send Hudson a notice of Monsignor Thomas Preston' s book. It looks like a rehashed work. Jenkins asks Hudson to thank Father Edmund Hill, C.P. , for his inquiries. Jenkins never heard from Father Matthew Russell, S.J . Why did Eliot Ryder choose "Better Christmas" as a sole...

Scope and Contents

The Sisters are anxious for a copy of the Ave Maria for the week before last. Two volumes of poems are sent. :: X-2-i A. Postcard S. 1p. 32mo.

Scope and Contents Jenkins sends Hudson a copy of his rector's jubilee address which Hudson may wish to note in the Ave Maria. He is negotiating with the rector to return to Louvain to take a course of study in scripture and theology. Father Edmund Hill, C.P., wrote saying he was busy with his duties at the Sacred Heart Retreat in Louisville. Jenkins inquires if Hill did not write stanzas for the fourteen stations of the Cross, before, which were published in the Catholic World. He thinks they are...

Jenkins arrived back in Hardinsburg after a drive of an hour and forty-five minutes from Cloverport, a trip which did him much good. :: X-2-h A. Postcard S. 1p. 32mo.

Scope and Contents Jenkins encloses articles and poems on St. Joseph, which should be copious enough for Father Matthew Russell, S.J. He suggests that the book be dedicated to Russell. If he doesn't like Jenkins's editing, Russell can take the poems on their own merit. Jenkins is about to publish his pamphlet on the world-wide school question and he would like to have a friend in Ireland and England to favor his interests there. He requests Hudson's opinion on this matter. The last seventy-five pages of...
