Scope and Contents Hudson sends to Henry a copy of this week's "Ave Maria", in which there is a notice of Henry's undertaking. Henry's circular is what Hudson was thinking of when he wrote to Henry, but Hudson regrets that Henry did not announce the portrait for the first volume. The circular ought to be sent to priest and the heads of libraries everywhere in this country and to every Catholic publication, also to such periodicals as the Atheneum, Critic, Dial etc. Hudson wants two sets of the work which...

Scope and Contents

Taher Hudson thanks Brownson for the photograph and assures him that Professor James Edwards will take the best of care of it. He hopes that Brownson is now fully recovered. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo,

Scope and Contents Father Hudson sends two copies of the Month and one of the Ave Maria for Brownson to see. The review published in the New York Times may have been reprinted in the Catholic and was reprinted in the Universe of Cleveland, probably not in the Michigan Catholic. He cannot find a copy of the Universe to send. Hudson was mistaken about General John A. Logan : it was his brother who was minister to Chile and had a son at Notre Dame. However, Colonel William Hoynes knows the general and will give...

Scope and Contents

Father Hudson thanks Brownson for the Edinburgh Review which he now returns. It confirms his opinion that Father Curci is a "crank", his knowledge imperfect, and his information drawn from one side. However the article was worth reading. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Father Hudson thinks four or five pages long enough for the article, but if longer, it should run to eight or ten pages, so it could be cut. He urges Brownson not to forget about the article on the Blessed Virgin. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Father Hudson is glad to know that the work pleased Brownson and that he is translating it. He is welcome to the book as long as he has use for it. Father Hudson will try to visit Detroit before long to talk about Brownson's undertaking; and he has a plan for publication. He wishes to be remembered to Father Ernest Van Dyke; Philip is happy and getting on well. Regards to Brownson and the household. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Hudson incloses the proofs of their notice of the third volume. Brownson is to be congratulated; Hudson used to fear that the work would not be completed. Bishop John Lancaster Spalding asked Hudson to order a copy of the life for him. Hudson sends best regards. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 32mo. 2pp.

Scope and Contents

Hudson is keeping Brownson's interesting sketch for Lent. Brownson's name will secure more readers, he is sure. Perhaps Brownson will be willing to sign it when he sees the proofs. Brownson was remembered in Hudson's Christmas Masses which he always reserves for his own intentions. One Mass was for the dead; he thought of Philip Brownson? :: III-3-c A.L.S. 2pp. 32mo.

Scope and Contents

Father Hudson sends the proof for the Ave Maria advertisement of Brownson's works for Brownson to make any change he wishes. It is very cool at Notre Dame. There is no hurry about the sketch, which will have to be enlarged to be of pamphlet size. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Father Hudson asks Brownson's excuse for the delay: he has had neuralgia and much work on the Ave Maria. An extension to the Church is being built and Father General Edward Sorin is anxious to get the roof on. Father Hudson asks Brownson for the proofs of the Marian article to accompany the sketch and hopes he likes the Ave Maria advertisement. He asks whether volume 19 is the last volume of the Works. He remembers hearing the Father General onceallude to the Doctorate of Philosophy: "bosh...

Scope and Contents Father Hudson is also of the opinion that Brownson's translation of Tarducci had better be entrusted to one of the leading Protestant publishers. No doubt there would be an objection to Father Hudson's first plan, but he suggests that Brownson give the Ave Maria one or more original articles using the Italian work as a source of information only—Columbus' devotion to the Blessed Virgin, an account of his chains, his inner spirit, his mission, etc. The work would be altogether too voluminous...

Scope and Contents

Judge Edmund F. Dunne is not to be thought of in connection with the Congress. He is impossible. Father Hudson has taken time to make inquiries. However, the address is San Antonio, Fla. He would like some information about the Congress, and he will not forget about Columbus. :: III-3-c A.Card S. 1p.

Scope and Contents

By impossible, Father Hudson meant not to be thought of, i. e., undesirable. Reputation of Judge Edmund F. Dunne not the best. Ask John Moore, Bishop of St. Augustine, Florida. :: III-3-c Autographed card Signed 1p.

Scope and Contents

Father Hudson thanks Brownson for his obliging letter and he will have an article on the subject next week. He send regards and best wishes to Brownson and his household. :: III-3-c Autographed Card Signed

Scope and Contents

Brownson's Congress paper is welcomely received. It will appear in the Ave Maria of the 16th, which, however, will be mailed on the 12th. His manuscript is very good. Father Hudson gives him his best thanks for this favor to the Ave Maria. At least he will be among the first to publish Brownson's excellent and timely essay. His pious intention is noted. Possibly Hudson may see him in Washington next week. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 2pp. 32mo.

Scope and Contents Hudson rejoices to hear that the Life is ready. It will be valuable and timely and he congratulates Brownson. Father Thomas E. Walsh tells him he engaged a man to photograph the Columbus pictures only a week or so ago but cannot say when the work is to be done. Hudson will announce the book in the Ave Maria soon. He asks what of the contribution Brownson was to make and whether he could furnish something of the work. Hudson had hoped to be in Detroit tomorrow and Sunday to talk over the...

Scope and Contents Hudson thanks Brownson for his letter of the 29th and hopes he will let his name appear with the book, for it will need just that support and prestige. The pamphlet is anxiously expected. If Brownson is to furnish the Ave Maria with anything from Tarducci's work, it should appear before the book comes out. The series of articles will be reserved for the year of the celebration. He asks if Tarducci's work had a portrait of Columbus. He hopes to see Brownson during the summer if he can arrange...

Scope and Contents Hudson wishes Brownson would send him another copy of his pamphlet. His has disappeared, and he has been very busy. Bishop John L. Spaulding had a room near his and he felt obliged to attend to his needs a little; and it is very hot. Possibly Luigi Gregori did copy the portrait in the first volume of Tarducci's work. Hudson asks when the book will be published and would like to have some advance sheets in the meantime—the most interesting chapters—which might be called "Scenes or Leaves from...

Scope and Contents Hudson will be happy to announce the work more than once and thanks Brownson for the information. He wants to accentuate the value of this life on account of being recent, scholarly and Catholic. If he had not been so busy this week preparing the contents of the volume of the Ave Maria, he would have written an announcement of the book. He will jog Father Thomas E. Walsh's memory about the photographs, although he hates to nag persons like him—there is so little satisfaction in it. Books as...

Scope and Contents Hudson delayed his answer to Brownson's last letter, hoping to be able to go to Detroit this week, but because of a shortage of priests at Notre Dame he cannot. Tarducci's work ought to be the more acceptable for not being in the florid style; if it was, discriminating readers would be apt to think him a rhetorician rather than a historian and question the truth of his statements. James F. Edwards is back and was speaking of the photographs last night. Hudson would be glad to print as...

Scope and Contents He had just finished writing Brownson when the extracts arrived. Before Brownson goes to any further trouble, Hudson wishes to explain his plan to give appetizing extracts from the work under some such general title as "Episodes in the Life of Columbus" or "Leaves from a New Life". If the extractions are not interesting and fresh and served up in a way to attract readers, they would not serve Hudson's purposes and would defeat Brownson's. They must give the best wine first. Brownson's idea...

Scope and Contents

Hudson received the extracts last week and some of them are already in type for immediate use. He suggests that they run the extracts through the four weeks of October, allow three pages of the Ave Maria to them each week, and perhaps use another batch later. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Hudson could not read the last installments of proofs Brownson sent until Sunday and was hoping to hear from him about the plan proposed. October would be the month and the extracts might be run till the end of November. In the proofs received from Brownson there is nothing quotable that has not already been given in Father Knight's Life of Columbus. He has a batch of the corners in type, and the first is used this week. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Hudson thanks Brownson for his letter of the 12th. Illness has prevented an earlier acknowledgement. His regret regarding the extracts is on account of causing Brownson so much trouble. The extract he sent last is used for the "Readings" this week; it suits its double purposes well. Tarducci is accurate and thoroughly versed in his subject, and the Life light go well. He hopes Brownson is feeling very much letter than he is. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Brownson will see Hudson never lets a good thing go to waste; he is asked to correct and return. He asks Brownson to furnish a three page article for the Ave Maria on Columbus' devotion to the Blessed Virgin, which he would run towards the end of next month. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Brownson's manuscript is at hand, prompt and welcome. That statement has been repeated many times but Hudson cannot say by whom it was originally made—shocking figures truly, but he does not question their correctness. He hopes to send proofs of Brownson's article. P.S.: He may see him at Christmas. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents

Hudson encloses proofs of Brownson's article, in which he will notice a change in the first sentence made in order to work in the initial, since Hudson has no fair 'I'. He hopes to be in Detroit Friday and asks Brownson to return the proofs as soon as it is convenient. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 1p. 32mo.

Hudson was surprised and disappointed to learn that nothing had been done on his book cases. On the same paper:

He was sorry to miss Edwards' call on Friday; he was in church at the time. He sends one of Mother Lucretia's obituary cards. They are still suffering from dry weather. :: XI-2-f A.L.S. 1p.

Scope and Contents He had an attack of malaria and had to go to the infirmary. His work is discouragingly behindhand. It was pleasant to learn that Edwards is having a visit with Mgr. Seton. He hears Seton is going back to Rome to spend his days. The chapter elected Mother Perpetua as Mother-General. Sister Aquina got her old place. Mother Lucretia will probably return to Salt Lake.
