Brownson is not to skip off to Detroit, forgetting his engagement to supper on Wednesday the 11th at six o'clock. The guests will be General and Mrs. George W. Smith and Dr. Butler, all of whom anticipate a great deal of pleasure in meeting him. Miss Starr sends this note to jog his memory as "that choice little Mrs. Brownson" is not here. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Her friend Mr. Perkins of Detroit wrote her about his conversation with Brownson. She prefers to lecture in a parlor rather than a hall. If Mr. and Mrs. Michael W. O'Brien feel so inclined as to offer their parlors, she is sure they would want a dollar a ticket, since they can no doubt seat a hundred easily; the lecture should not fail to bring Starr $100. She will try to send Brownson some reports of her lectures this fall. The first was held in her new auditorium the 15th. She speaks of...

Scope and Contents She is more than gratified by the cordial manner in which Mr. and Mrs. Michael W. O'Brien have responded to the call for a lecture in Detroit.

Scope and Contents She was ready to wrap up the enclosed photographs for McMaster and Maurice Francis Egan when the express package arrived. She has seldom in her life received such a package, and when she opened it and saw the $100.00 in banknotes she did not know what to say. They have sold so many other copies for her, that the courage it gives her by helping her to throw off her debts is untold. She must leave it to God to reward her benefactors. She will not fail to remember what McMaster says of...

Scope and Contents When the Freeman's Journal came, instead of the costly advertisement she had suggested was an article by McMaster which was worth a hundred advertisements. For as a swift result of the generous article a young man, Edward James Cramsic, came for a copy of "Pilgrims and Shrines". His father was one of McMaster's old subscribers. The young man made his first Communion under the private instruction of Father Henneberry, one of the curates of St. James under Archbishop Riordan. He gave up...

She asks them to consider her a loyal friend. :: I-2-e A.L.S....

Scope and Contents Starr's manuscript of the story of Bishop John McMullen is finished and has only to be read by two clergymen to detect any errors. She always fears delays from them. Starr's own delays in finishing the work on McMullen were due to delicate health overtaxed by work on her book. She has been ill the past year. She wonders how anyone has the courage to bring out a book and lecture courses. Now that the manuscript on McMullen is done she will begin the other two lives. These she will not...

Scope and Contents Clarke has shown marvelous patience concerning Starr's sketch of Bishop John McMullen . After reading the short sketch she wrote for the Catholic Family Annual, Starr was quite sure of what she thought but could not put it into words for Clarke. She waited until she could do so.
