Bandini thanks Hudson for the paragraph in the Ave Maria about his people of Tontitown. If they can furnish suggestions and be a help in trying to start other settlements, he thinks it will be a godsend to many Catholic immigrants who come to America. Bandini in an article for the Monitor utilized a statement found in the Dec. 7th, 1901 Ave Maria which confirmed his claims.

He has read the life of St. Francis but has never come in contact with an exact picture of the Saint. Edwards should tell them more about the treasure.

Stoddard does not know how to thank Hudson for all the things sent. He has been sad these holidays. He dined alone on Christmas in spite of three invitations. Stoddard no longer has faith in his works. Would Hudson like the first part of his autobiography—"Childhood"? He must get to work and forget last year. Mrs. Storer urges Stoddard to come east in May.

He hopes Edwards is well and not overworking himself. He asks about the Document of Plenary Indulgence for his family and himself, and the relic of St. Aloysius. Roland LePointe said that he had met Edwards this summer on one of his collecting tours; he hopes Edwards has some more valuable additions for the Bishop's Memorial Hall.

Hudson's card and editorial on "Tontitown", (Arkansas) reached him. Mathews is pleased with what Hudson has written. The article has stirred up a large amount of discussion both in and out of Arkansas. Mathews hopes to follow it up with work being done on the conservation of immigrant virtues by the fostering of the talents of Italian children in public schools. Father (Peter) Bandini deserves the best. Mathews asks Hudson to send a copy of the editorial to John Cosgrave editor of "Everybody's" in New York.

It was endorsed by Bishop (Eugene) Garvey and signed by all the priests concerned. They are fighting mad and if Canevin doesn't give them redress they will have to employ other measures.

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):

It must be Hudson will change his mind as to his pleasure in reading Spalding's story in the new "Roads": for various reasons Spalding has decided not to write at any great length. Spalding will not see Hudson this winter at St. Mary's— judging from Hudson's letter. Spalding isn't coming either. Mother Pauline's letter to him was candid and consolatory. Perhaps his day is passing. He expects to have new lectures ready next year. The history of the influence of the Ave Maria would make a most important volume. Spalding is sorry to hear of Sister Rita's illness. Spalding is reading (Louise) Guiney's papers with much interest.

Drouart encloses some tracts (no enclosure) which are serious, intellectual, and truly apostolic. The intellectuals of Paris have at last responded to his appeal. The most celebrated of them, Mr. De Lapparent, has returned to God. Lapparent was secretary of the Academy of sciences. The drawback to this work is the question of money. Would Hudson interest his readers in this work?

Smith should be in the city today helping the Paulists to celebrate. It is rumored that Father (Michael) Lavelle will go to the University. The success of the (Catholic) Summer School under Smith's rule has left him open to the people who thrust upon the innocent offices which they avoid. Smith seized a parish and made it a barrier. Bishop (Bernard J.) McQuaid was laid away quietly as became a great man. Smith has notes which might be suitable for the "Ave Maria." Smith did not like Miss Guiney's comparison. A Columbia lawstudent from Crawfordsville, (Indiana) spent two days here. He insisted on learning what literary work Smith was engaged on and fell into a trance on hearing Smith read a chapter of it. All Smith's local friends pretend he is not an author and so does he. Smith had a letter from Katherine Tynan about Hudson's review of her prayer-book.
