Scope and Contents He informs Hudson that a book was submitted by Mr. Egan for an estimate of the total cost of stereotyping and producing 2000 copies of certain poems. Cummiskey went to much trouble visiting nearby publishers so as to get the lowest possible cost. After the estimate was sent in he heard nothing from Egan for sometime and then a note on scrap paper came informing him that Egan had called at his office unable to find him. Since the estimate was sent in due time and Egan expressed his...

He sends a copy of "Preludes" and hopes Hudson will like it. He prefers a variety of colors himself but this color was chosen by Maurice Francis Egan . If Hudson thinks a colored cover would be an improvement, it can be done as only 400 copies were bound in this style. He is sending 300 copies to Hudson by Express. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 1p. 8 vo

Scope and Contents He has received an order for 20 copies of the "Preludes" from J. W. S. Norris which he forwarded. He asks Hudson what he is to charge per book at wholesale price as he has not yet sent the bill. There is a large discount allowed to the trade and to the religious but on this book it should not be so large. Hudson should give the same discount to all purchasers and inform him if they are to be cash sales or not. He recommends Hudson send the bill to Norris. He wants to know how many more...

Scope and Contents Sister sends a tale for notice, which was written by an Irish Sister of Mercy, together with a volume of Sister's verses. The Ave Maria made a mistake about Knock in their recent article. It was the present Archbishop of Tuam, John MacEvilly and not the late Archbishop John McHale, who authorized Sister to build the convent, and who does not believe in the apparition. But Sister thinks he does believe it but will made no pronouncement until it is approved by Rome. :: X-2-i A.L.S. 6pp....

Scope and Contents Sister M. Frances Clare has been advised to write to McMaster and explain to him the manner in which she was treated by an American publisher, Wm. Sadlier, and who defrauded the convent out of approximately 2,0001. through the sale of, "The Life of O'Connell". Sadlier cleverly yet legally tricked her out of this money and she asks McMaster if he would make an expose in his paper without mentioning any names. The worry and anxiety of this affair has caused her much ill health and almost...

Father Edward Murphy, S.J., visited Sister Francis Clare. Archdeacon B. Cavanagh told her that Murphy has written to Hudson an account of Knock. Since Hudson may be prejudiced against her, because he is under the impression that the Westely Register Tablet represents English Catholic opinion, she sends the enclosed. She has had letters from Henry Cardinal Manning, his auxiliary, Bishop James Laird Patterson and six English bishops denouncing her attackers. :: X-2-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Would Hudson like a note from Knock now and then for the Ave Maria? Knock is not yet authorized by the Church as a place of devotion but they hope on the return of their archbishop from Rome some approbation may be given. Their convent is now quite established with special devotions to the holy souls and daily Mass and frequent Benediction in the Chapel which is only a literal log house. The cures are too numerous for record but she mentions one that is well authenticated, that of...

Scope and Contents

She finds the Ave Maria belongs to the class of "fashionable" Catholics who are ashamed of Ireland, as they would have been ashamed of the Mother of God before the Christian world paid her homage. Poor Ireland— or rather she should say, rich Ireland, fashionable pupils will come and worship at the feet of her fruitful, patient — holy pupils. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents She sends Hudson the book "Jews and Jerusalem" noticed in the Ave Maria on p. 476. It is an old edition but the only copy she can get. They are now publishing the 8th edition and if Hudson will write about arrangements he has made she will put it in. She sends a copy under separate cover from a priest who knows her name as well as she does, but they have a fancy to direct every issue this way and how can she help it? The highest class of English papers do the very same. She does not...

Scope and Contents She is constantly getting letters from parties wanting to subscribe to the Ave Maria. Though she seriously disapproves of the ridicule on the Irish and Irish clergy in the "Battle of Criminaia?" and of Miss Howe's different style of writing of the awful mystery at Bois de Hrine ? the family should be commended for their desire to shield Denise ? from curiosity and from religious curiosity. Her confessor should not be accused of interested motives. Hudson will be offended at Sister...
