Box CHUD 1

Scope and Contents He cannot express too much his recognition and esteem for Brownson's service to the Catholic social cause. Brownson will command only two or three hundred intelligent and zealous readers and will form with them a sacred battalion capable of doing good in combatting protestantism and materialism. Protestantism rose from the renaissance of paganism and from the independence of the state in regard to the church. It is necessar to disengage the true doctrine in theology, in philosophy, in...

Sr. Colette is sending part of the story by Reverend Mother Mary Magdelene Taylor, S.M.G. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 16mo.

Scope and Contents DeVere thanks Hudson for sending him 2 numbers of the Ave Maria. He encloses a few poems that Hudson may use if he wishes, for he is always glad to aid in furthering the holy cause for which the Ave Maria has been established. But he has few poems with him, except such as have already appeared on his side of the Atlantic. Because he has found that mistakes invariably occur in the printing of poetry, he asks for three copies of each proof to be sent him. He will return the proofs...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter to her was satisfactory. She will be pleased to receive the Ave Maria, to indicate the choice of subject if Hudson wishes to have another manuscript from her. "The Battle of Connemare" may be called a children's book, but it was written for mature readers; she wished to illustrate the contrast between the Catholic priest and the selfish Protestant person. She describes the novel. The 50 pounds she indicated as the price was based on an agreement made with Hudson's...

Scope and Contents The Superior of the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland has asked her to make a little sketch of the life of Mother M. Teresa Kelly. She thinks this sketch would find a place in the Ave Maria, and if Hudson is of the same opinion, she will send it to him. It will run about ten or twelve pages of the magazine. How she is looking forward to meeting Mother Mary Angela Gillespie, who is in Paris and has written her, requesting a visit. She also hopes to see Cardinal John McCloskey before he leaves....

Scope and Contents

They will print Hudson's advertisement at $4.00 per month, which is below their regular rates. They have never advertised their paper, and don't think any good would be attained by advertising in the East. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents The manuscript on Louise Lateau is being written by Frances Howe . She has written a good deal of it and shall finish it presently; meanwhile she can send Hudson enough for the first weekly installment. Miss Eliza Allen Starr has doubtless told Hudson that they ought to have a hundred dollars of the manuscript. Although they enjoy writing for the Ave Maria, they cannot do so without a respectable recompense. If Hudson wishes, she will send him a kind of index of subjects on which they...

Scope and Contents

Hudson published, in the Ave Maria of October 2, 1875, Greene's poem, "Vesper Hymn". Greene now sends another poem. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents She has been unable to answer his letter of November 15 because she and her sister have been making the Jubilee, and have been so fatigued by the long walks to the parish church that they have not had sufficient time to write. At first she delayed answering Hudson until her sister had completed the index of subjects that he said he would be glad to receive. But the final cause of her delay was a serious fall she suffered which invalided her for two days. In a few days Hudson will...

Scope and Contents

She asks that the Ave Maria be sent to her at Goshen instead of St. Mary's. She is ashamed to trouble Hudson again, but circumstances have forced her to leave St. Mary's, and she must stay in Goshen all winter. If Hudson would like any articles for the Children's Department similar to those she formerly contributed, she will be glad to write them on the same terms as before. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Limerick has procured Father Bertram Wilberforce, O.P., to write an article on the Cord of St. Thomas. He has done it willingly, and asks only that in return Hudson should print in the Ave Maria an advertisement of a book Wilberforce has done on the martyrs of Japan, and of which he should like to sell a few copies in America. He has also asked Limerick to write a review of the book. A copy of the book has already been sent, and in a few days Limerick will send Hudson the article and...

Scope and Contents

She sends Hudson a Christmas legend in place of the one that has been lost in the mails. She thinks the theme will interest Hudson's young readers. The price she has set upon the poem is $5.00. She wishes Hudson a merry Christmas. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. 18mo.

Scope and Contents

He received Hudson's kind note of November 20, and explains that he delayed answering because he expected to receive two or three copies of the issue which carried the piece. He does not know if he can contribute regularly to the Ave Maria, so he does not know if he deserves to be sent the publication regularly. He would, however, like to have several copies of each issue in which some of his work is printed. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 8mo.

Scope and Contents

She thanks Hudson for his frank note, and hopes she will benefit by his advice. From the kind tone of his letter she judges that he will read any prose sketches she may send— provided she does not do so too often. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p. 16mo.

Scope and Contents

Martin agrees to the publication of his biographical essay on Father Isaac Jogues. He also requests two copies of the translation. He reserves the copyright for himself if such articles are ever published in book form. If he has a chance to do so, he will profit from the translation. :: X-2-d A.L.S. French 2pp 8vo

Scope and Contents He sends Hudson a translation of a few pages of Gaume's Cathechism of Perseverance— on the Immaculate Conception. Hudson can print it in the Ave Maria if he thinks it worth while. If Hudson intends to print the few pages of the pamphlet on "Les Lampes du S. Sacrement", Moyes would like the proofs. If Father Edward F. Sorin is at home, Hudson might tell him that Msgr. Claude M. Dubuis of Texas wrote a very satisfactory Exeat, so that Moyes is now formally a member of the Diocese of...

She writes him about a beautiful incident. She has at last finished the "Apostle of the Sacred Heart", with which she has been so long delayed. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 18mo.

Scope and Contents She received both Hudson's notes by the same post, and asks him to throw the missing manuscript into the fire. She should have sent him the sketch of Mother Teresa Kelly ten days ago; the delay is caused by her having given it to a friend to copy. She is grateful to see that Hudson published her account of the miracle. One needs such consolations these days, especially in France where the devil seems to be having things his own way. There is despair at the city of Paris withdrawing all...

Scope and Contents Adam sends $10.00 for a subscription for the Santa Cruz Sisters of Charity. He will send another $10.00 in a few days, to make them "life subscribers". He thanks Hudson for retouching his sketches and is sorry he makes errors in spelling proper names. In the No. 13 issue of the Ave Maria it appears that San Jose has 1,500 inhabitants. Really it has 15,000. Adam will soon receive a book concerning the principal sanctuaries of Our Lady in Spain. He will translate whatsoever he finds of...

Scope and Contents He is translating the biography of Leon Papin Dupont of Tours, which Hudson may have for publishing. He gives the works of charity and the organization of St. Martin for the clothing of poor. The election of officers and means of distributing the funds were explained in full. The holiness of Dupont is clarified in many acts he performed. If Hudson publishes the account of the St. Martin Society he wants copies for Mrs. Ellen Sherman and Archbishop James R. Bailey. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp....

Scope and Contents They received Hudson's letter regarding advertising in the new Quarterly some weeks ago but had misplaced it, and found it again only now. The best they can do in the matter of advertising is to take one-half in cash and one-half in advertising in the Ave-Maria. Their prices are $50. per page and $30. per half-page. If Hudson accepts these terms he should notify them immediately, for their advertising space is almost all taken, but they will try to squeeze in his advertisement. The...

Scope and Contents She apologizes for delaying so long her answer to Hudson's letter of Nov. 22, 1875. She sends him the good wishes of the whole community for the prosperous continuance of the Ave Maria. They would like to see a French issue of the Ave Maria; it would be easy then to secure a little corner of it now and then for contributions of some kind, for most of them know no English. As it is, they can enjoy the best articles only by means of a poor translation. Recently the Mother Superior was...

Scope and Contents

Greene sends an original poem, wishes that it may honor Our Blessed Mother. He thanks Hudson for sending the Ave Maria so regularly, and requests two copies of the issue in which his poem will appear. There is a story entitled "The Picture of the Blessed Virgin", written by Mary Howitt, which Greene thinks Hudson could use in his "Children's Department". He will send it if Hudson wishes. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2 pp. 12 mo.

Scope and Contents

An advertisement is enclosed and prices at which it will be printed in the Catholic Sentinel are quoted. :: X-2-d Form Letter 1p. 8vo.

Scope and Contents He sends the manuscript of the story which he thinks might suit the "Children's Department". He does not feel it any trouble to copy it; it is a pleasure to do so for the sake of the beautiful cause of the Ave Maria. He only hopes the story will be acceptable. It first appeared in 1850 in Mary Howitt's story book, but Greene does not think it need be acknowledged. Hudson can arrange it into chapters as he whishes. In reply to Hudson's "P.S.", Greene does not know why he is not a...

Scope and Contents

She compliments Father Hudson in that he is not materialistic like many people of this era are. She recommends Miss Eliza Allen Starr's article entitled "The Glorification of the Passion". She was hesitant as to whether "Our Lady as Mediatrix" with its sentiments would have been accepted for publication. In March she would like to start a story for the Children's Department. It is about Mother Seton's youngest child, Rebecca. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents When Warde first proposed to Father Neal H. Gillespie, C.S.C. that he write for the Ave Maria, it was in accordance with a promise made the Blessed Virgin. She had no thought of being paid, but she was in a position where she needed paid, and accepted it. It is a year now since any of her works appeared in the Ave Maria, although he has sent poems at various times. If these have been declined on account of money, he asks that in the future he be given no compensation, but that he be...

Skidmore again inflicts a rhyme on the pages of the Ave Maria. He would like to see it published during March, since that is the month of St. Joseph. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 1p 16 mo.

Scope and Contents Abbot Benedict is sending Hudson a long letter from a pilgrim who assisted at the coronation of the miraculous Madonna venerated in the chapel of the Trappistine Sisters at Notre Dame des Gardes near Augers, France. The Abbot sends the French along with the English translation made by a lady of Louisville, and he hopes that when Hudson publishes it he will also find room for a sketch of the life of the Trappistine Sisters. Such a sketch would answer the many inquiries made of the Abbot...

Scope and Contents She and her sister have been waiting for some weeks to see that part of the article on Louise Lateau which they have already sent Hudson appear in the Ave Maria. Since it has not appeared they conclude that he does not want it. Her sister has been indisposed with the whooping cough and does not suit, but if she had seen the work printed, she would have felt able to supply further installments. Their health and occupations prevent writing in the wholesale manner Hudson desires; they have...
