Scope and Contents Stanislaus has just finished "Father Ravignan" and thanks Hudson for recommending it. The reading of such a book recalls the wandering mind to the main point in a pleasing way. He found Mr. Calkins at home one evening and was able to talk matters over. All that is wanted is action as the rights of the case are clear. Calkins believes Senator Blaine will be the Republican candidate for President as he is rising and Grant is descending. Stanislaus would like Mr. Rodgers to send the...

Scope and Contents This letter was enclosed with one written on April 26. Hudson should send the "Ave Maria" to Brother Stanislaus' brother, who is a good friend of the Sisters at the Orphan Asylum. He should take a life subscription and avoid the trouble of remitting. Brother Stanislaus has met Tom Ewing, Jr., who has been neglecting his religious duties according to a remark made at General O'Beirne's. Hudson should insert a petition for him in the various confraternities and another who is too intimate...

Scope and Contents Stanislaus has not received the acknowledgement of the $35 sent to Hudson on Mr. Brosnan's account. James Fenner, in a letter, mentions the fact that he is reaching his 18th year and wishes a change of duty in the pressroom. A transfer should be carefully made or it may prove annoying to Brother Romanus. The weary drag in the press room is monotonous and is apt to create a morbid feeling, but it would hardly be worthwhile to make a change in the press room. Dennis' time in the press...

Scope and Contents Enclosed is $35 from Mr. Brosnan. He pays for all his subscribers and the $12 due for 6 copies for 1879. The payment for 6 copies for 1880 will be paid later.

Scope and Contents She has received Hudson's letter of the 22nd. The change in their business relations is so important that she needs an immediate understanding. With all the manuscripts on hand and all other articles it is not possible that anyone in authority at Notre Dame would consider her overpaid by the $200 she receives a year. Hudson has never called on her for an article of any description or at any time that she was not happy to supply, neither has she counted pages. What about the notes if the...

Scope and Contents Enclosed are two articles and Hudson should take his choice between them and mail the other one without delay. Something that Hudson said about her articles for the Children's Department got her thinking that the articles required too much culture. If all these slanders on the Catholic people are true, then we should go to work and give our children this Christian culture which has so much to do with the understanding of the religion, enriched by 1800 years of prayer, turned into poetry...
