Scope and Contents Stoddard liked the "Holy Face" very much. He has just finished "Glimpses at Mission Life in California". He does not know if the many big H.H. Bancroft volumes on California draw from the material that he has used so freely, but no where else has he found anything approaching it in interest. The material is an invaluable addition to the history of California. He gives all praise where it is due-to the Padres. Stoddard is glad that Hudson mentioned Father John O'Connell, C.S.C.?. He...

Scope and Contents Stoddard received the bound volume of Ave Maria and the a Kempis. Hudson's letter came with Rene Papin's pages and sketch. Stoddard never saw the "Royal Guardsman." He read "Journey Round my Room" years ago. Rene will be 17 in a year; he is an artist. Paul Papin was a musician, but for that he would have been a priest. But art will never come between Rene and the altar. Luigi Gregori will see the uncommon individuality in the pencil sketch. A lady from San Francisco, Mrs. Dr. Lane sent...

Scope and Contents It will be nice to have "Student Life" in the monthly part. Stoddard is glad Hudson liked "Glimpses". Rene Papin is a jewel. Stoddard wishes the little clock might come to him. He prizes it the more because of his association with Hudson. What hours he lived through listening to it, his heart ready to break for fear he might hear a scream from the dormitory where Tom lay. Not for worlds would he undergo again the miserable anxiety of his last year at Notre Dame. Is Brother Benignus back...

Scope and Contents

Stoddard believes that the son of the author of "Life In California" which both Hudson and he liked so well, is Stoddard's friend. :: X-3-g A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents What Hudson says about Charles Porter is what he feared and it saddens him. If he could be taken from his old associates and placed beyond the reach of temptation he would become lamb-like. Stoddard would not stake a pin on his redemption in this life, but his fate in the world to come does not worry him. Robert Louis Stevenson is the rage now. Eventually his too numerous books will be weeded out and that which remains will be a kind of classic, but Stevenson will never again be as...

He has completed half his article on "Monte Cassino". The San Francisco Monitor has asked him for a contribution for a volume of "California Catholic Parts" to...
