Scope and Contents Hensel thanks Hudson for the picture. The College of Music is a semi-fraud and hired her to come to Louisville by promises of a bona-fide endowed incorporated College. It is only a private business venture run by a Chicago business woman. She has resigned from the college and is giving private lessons. Hensel would like to secure a position in the Elocution Department of St. Mary's Academy. Her Easter story "From the Jura to Montserrat" reads well in print. She submits the second and...

Scope and Contents

Seymour has received payment for the articles from Hudson. She encloses a program describing the lectures she is planning to give. Some time ago Seymour did some sketches on the History of Maryland, entitled, "Land of the Sanctuary"; she would appreciate Hudson's looking them over. Included with it is Seymour's seventh paper on the Catholic Masters of painting. Hudson has already published six of them and she has six more to offer. :: X-2-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Seymour sent the article "Reminiscence of Cardinal Schwarzenburg". Those who heard her conversation lectures were pleased with them, but she wishes she had left out the Catholic part of them. Seymour has not spoken to a Catholic group, for Catholics in Philadelphia prefer Protestant teachers and have mostly Protestants for their choirs. Some one started the story that Seymour was an "adventuress" which caused her to lose her pupils and break up her school. :: X-2-k A.L.S. 10pp. 12mo.

Seymour submits an article which she has attempted to condense, but feels it is still too long. :: X-2-k A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Seymour encloses an article on Masaccio and Fra Angelico. She is refusing offers from Protestant schools in the hopes that a Catholic school will find something for her. :: X-2-k A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Seymour has done her best to condense her two chapters into one, but finds that it cannot be done. Since Fra Angelico is the prominent Catholic painter of the XV century, she has dealt primarily with him. The trouble with Catholics in America is that they do not take an interest in Catholic art and literature. It may be that Mr. Galwey is correct, when he says he does not need articles on art, for people go to Protestants for this kind of reading. :: X-2-k A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Enclosed is the conclusion to the article, "Pilgrimage to the Silent Shrines". :: X-3-a A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Hudson's kindness in sending her several articles in the Ave Maria should have been acknowledged long ago. Grandma has come back to live but her mind is so impaired that she was moved to her married sister's for better care. She herself is "floating about" among her friends, hoping to find a job as a teacher. Her relatives, being Protestants, blame her misfortunes on her becoming a Catholic. Today Father Jordan and other "Fathers" of hers begin a Novena to St. Joseph that a good...

Scope and Contents Shadler enclosed $20 as a contribution from four priests toward the cause of the "second order" so admirably supported by the Freeman's Journal, and now being represented in Rome. He writes that Just now, this is all the priests can send, but later, if necessary, they are willing to contribute. Shadler also sends $3.00 as payment for his subscription to the Journal. He also states that after four years of hard work and persistant trial, the German Catholic church of Charleston has been...

Scope and Contents McFarland's letter saying that Edith O'Gorman had been attacked in Taunton by a crowd of 1000 led by a priest was received. The statement is false. Priests do not lead mobs in Taunton. She was hissed by men and boys who gathered to see her. Before the end of the lecture Catholics had been cleared from the streets by the priests. They policed the crowd because there was rumor that there would be a disturbance which might have been planned by her or her partner Phillips. Shahan had stationed...
