Scope and Contents

Tiernan acknowledges receipt of the duplicate of the lost check and reports receiving a letter from the cashier of the Philadelphia Bank stating that the original check had been used.

Scope and Contents

Tiernan submits two chapters of "Cecil's Fortune". Regarding the lost check, she inquires if she can safely transfer the duplicate on which payment was not refused.

Scope and Contents

Tiernan is pleased to receive the many compliments about her story "A Child of Mary". She was astonished to see such a story as "Sampson's Revenge" in a recent issue of the Ave Maria.

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents Hudson's latest letter was a disappointment to Tiernan because she preferred that the books be published at Notre Dame. Tiernan has written P.J. Kennedy and if he will not give Tiernan, her moderate price she will leave the book unpublished and be compelled to hereafter abjure any distinctively Catholic writing. She rears that "Fairy Gold" is the last story of any length she can write for the Ave Maria. The volume "Tales For Eventide", which Hudson sent her make her regret that her...

Scope and Contents Tiernan was delighted to find that she had misunderstood Hudson and that there was hope of Hudson's issuing her books. Had she understood Hudson correctly, she would not have told P.J. Kennedy that he might have them at any price. She does not know what Kennedy's decision will be because he has gone to Paris. When she said she was afraid she could not write another long story for the Ave Maria, she was not complaining of Hudson's rates of remuneration. For a religious journal they are...
