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 would like to have a picture of him. The clock has become Stoddard's great joy.

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...

Scope and Contents

Stoddard does not understand why Hudson does not hear from Kalawao. Even if FatherJoseph Damien DeVeuster were totally disabled, Ira B. Dutton should write.

Scope and Contents Stoddard returns Hudson's friend. He is like his old artist chum Frank Willet and he is sure he understands him. Bless Rene Papin for all he does, says and what he is.

Scope and Contents Stoddard thinks Schicky unreliable and he asks Hudson to pay the bill and charge it to his account. The boys spoke about the settlement, but thanks to the bullheadedness of Father Thomas Walsh, C.S.C., it turned out as it did. This is one of the memories for which Stoddard has to thank him. His health has been thoroughly shaken. Stoddard is glad he went to Notre Dame but what he learned there of the hypocrisy of priests and blackguardism of brothers has done him lasting injury. :: X-3-c...
