Scope and Contents At the request of Miss Ella B. Edes she is sending a manuscript for the Ave Maria. Both pieces are translations and Miss Edes will send the originals if desired. Miss Edes would like to have them cover a subscription for the Ave Maria. Miss Starr sent her extra copies to Brother Francis dePaula and she cannot send any to Miss Edes. She has no doubt that Hudson will make business arrangements with so popular a writer like Miss Edes. Her writings are very highly valued by Mr. James...

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...

Scope and Contents The articles "On the Appian Way" are ready for the printers. The first two were paid for as they were sent last year. Miss Edes helped her to valuable materials for L. Giovanni in Ohio, as she sent material not available to Miss Starr. She has sketches to illustrate the articles, but since the Ave Maria is not an illustrated magazine they will have to come out in a book. Hudson should overlook the Latin, on the church of St. Sebastian, or else give it to Father Thomas Vagnier to do. If...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter announcing the death of his father received. Miss Starr has offered up prayer and Holy Communion for the repose of his soul. God did not call Hudson to a religious life to deprive his parents of grace. Now he will offer the Sacrifice of the Mass for him although there is probably disappointment as to the result of years of prayers. She hopes to see Hudson before Ash Wednesday and at least before Easter. She thanks Hudson for the copy of "Preludes." She discusses the...

Scope and Contents Enclosed is a short poem for the feast of St. Francis of Rome. She hopes it will meet Hudson's approval. She also has one for the feast of St. Catherine of Sienna if Hudson wants it. Miss Starr read the account of the death of Hudson's father in the Ave Maria and knew that Hudson's expectations and hopes in this regard were not answered. We have to value the least sign of grace. Nobody but a priest could understand Miss Starr's own hope for her father. She has offered Communion for...

Scope and Contents Enclosed is the proof of a poem. Miss Starr asks if the "E" of the "Shrine of Our Lady of Stoeka" is their friend Miss Ella Edes . If it is Miss Edes, Miss Starr wants to compliment her on her contribution. She has lost the name and address of Hudson's friend who sent the verses for Our Lady and who is interested in hymns. She asks if there is anything written for the Feast of St. Benedict on his 13th centennial. "The World Converted by a Crucified Jew" is wonderfully effective. Miss...

Scope and Contents Miss Starr is writing only to secure a visit with Hudson and not to assure him a welcome. Hudson will be at the dedication of the new St. James. Father Riordan has two seats for Miss Starr. She will have dinner with Mrs. Kinzia immediately after Mass. She will be home by five and hopes Hudson will visit her. Miss Starr is pleased to see her "Appian Way" coming out so regularly. She set five o'clock as the time because Hudson usually comes around that time on his own accord. She wants to...

Scope and Contents Enclosed is a short notice for "The Best Beloved, etc." and "The Amateur." Miss Starr wonders why Hudson did not have Eliot Ryder write the notice since Miss Donnelly is one of his favorites. She was unhappy at the way he ignored everyone but John Boyle O'Reilly, Mr. Egan, Mr. Norris and Miss Donnelly. As to the American converts Miss Starr has never seen anything from Mrs. Kitchum . She believes Mrs. Ellet is a Catholic poet. William H. C. Hosnin ? wrote only like Longfellow, Catholic...

Scope and Contents Starr is still laboring under the effects of the worst case of influenza she has had in twenty years. She is sorry about Tincher 's story for she did not think Hudson would be afraid because of some one's remarks. Starr has heard much about the affair and has more confidence in her than in what people say. The Roman ladies are down on her, but if she was crazy, she is to be pitied not blamed. They have no business shutting her up in an insane asylum. There is no use contradicting them,...
