Scope and Contents Lambing sent the revised manuscript on mixed marriages to Hudson. It will make a larger pamphlet, but he cannot see how he can reduce it, and he believes it will have to be re-examined because of the new matter introduced. Bishop Joseph Dwenger's approbation is at the beginning of the manuscript, but should be kept out until the book is examined. The manuscript is written in pencil because he is quite nervous in warm weather. Lambing wants to know when the printing of it will commence,...

Scope and Contents He hopes of that his delay caused by being away from home in returning the proof sheets did not too greatly inconvenience Hudson. P.S. He proposes writing a short series of articles defining the positions of Catholics in regard to public morality. Since the language used in attacking certain amusements and illustrated papers will of necessity be frank and outspoken he wonders whether the story would be suitable for the Ave Maria. When he completes an outline of the proposed articles he...

Scope and Contents Lambing received Judge Edmund F. Dunne's letter, copied it, and returns it. If time permitted, he would follow Dunne's plan in preparing such a work, but only in part. The new edition of the Raccolta at 75¢ should be in every household. The need is for more popular works, for the people are not polemical. They will not devote much time to what is purely instructive. Hence instruction must be given in popular work. He finds difficulty in revising his article, but will probably shorten...
