Ganss, Father H(enry) G.: Carlisle, P(ennsylvani)a
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Ganss sends a manuscript on devotion to the Blessed Mother. He secured a copy of Justin Fulton's "Is it Mary or the Lady of the Jesuits" from which Dr. ( ) Frysinger, the collegiate preacher at Dickinson College, drew his ammunition. Ganss determined to make an anthology of Protestant tributes to the Blessed Virgin. He believes it would do good if circulated in cheap and presentable form. Can the work be published serially in the Ave Maria?

Gregori, Fannie: Cormons, Austria
to (James F. Edwards: Notre Dame, Indiana)

As Edwards heard from Sister Aloysius she received the letter containing the check. She does not know how it was lost for so long.

King, Mrs. A(nnie) F.: St. Louis, (Missouri)
to (James F.) Edwards: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Edwards will never realize how fully she appreciates his generous heart. The lovely care and attention Edwards has bestowed upon her little darling, (W. Barret Frost), has been so unexpected that it has almost taken her breath away. He mentions that her boy may go abroad this summer. She is not allowed to see him here so it does not matter. Every means will be resorted to win him away from her. Mrs. Hirschberg knows full well that in order to gain her point she must separate the child from her entirely. She asks Edwards to use his influence with the child so that he will not forget them. The child has always been called Barret. The Scholastic lists him as W. Frost. His father Mr. Frost cares nothing for his child; his is ruled by his sister Mrs. Hirschberg.

Dorsey, Ella Loraine: (Washington, District of Columbia)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Does Hudson want a list of books in the Uniform Edition or all the books now in print? The lack of polish to "Sadie's Knight" is due to the fact that it is a first draft.

He is sorry that (Maurice Francis) Egan is not in good health. He had an interview with Archbishop (John) Ireland. Though Spalding had a certain sympathy with some of his views, they (he and Ireland) are radically unalike.

E(des), E(lla) B.: Rome, (Italy)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.): Notre Dame, Indiana

The cause of Blessed Rita of Cascia was renewed in the last session of the Sacred Congregation. Edes tells of a brother who was released from his vows and allowed to become a priest through the intercession of Blessed Rita. Hudson can obtain stamps of St. Antony of Padua from Father Godfrey Schilling of the Commissariate of the Holy Land. Rome has been convulsed by the attempted assassination of the King of Italy. There seems no security for life and property in Rome. What does Hudson think of the finale of the mystification of Diana Vaughan? It seems that even many of the Freemasons were taken in by the conversion of that scamp, Leo Taxil. He deceived even the Holy Father (Leo XIII) and his entourage, for they were certainly led somewhat astray. The San Francisco "Monitor" recently dubbed Edes a "sour and wintry virgin". Anent the presence in Rome of the ex-rector of the Catholic University. Be sure to let the "consecrated blizzard" (Archbishop John Ireland) see Edes' photo which she gave to (James F.) Edwards. Edes sees Ireland's charming phiz in a recent issue of that filthy New York Journal together with that of the irrepressible Father (Thomas J.) Ducey. (Anthony) Comstock did well to seize that book of D'Annunzio.

to (James F.) Edwards: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Since Ben's return to Notre Dame, she has had two letters from him full of complaints. He gives her to understand that if he goes to school at all next year it will be to a day school. This is all due to the influence of some boys he ran with the few days he was out.
