Scope and Contents Father General paid his subscription. It is probable that Mother Lucretia, C.S.C. , did write acknowledge receipt of "Patron Saints". When Starr sees the short notices that sometimes come out on books she wonders how authors have courage to publish at all. Starr sent a copy of "Patron Saints" to the Novitiate as well as to St. Mary's. Mother Augusta, C.S.C. , had no need to borrow commended the book warmly. No one knew, save Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan that Edes did it. She...

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.

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 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...

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...

Reading it is a privilege; after reading it inch by inch, the tone of the paper is beyond praise, because it aims at truth.

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