to Orestes A. Brownson (______)
Allen writes that he has been indisposed; this has accounted for his delay in sending in his articles. He says that the convent mentioned deserves all that he said concerning him. He will have about half a page on Lincoln's Horace by Saturday. He wishes that he were in good health because he has some ideas on Horace and would like to be able to develop them. Brownson's Dusseldorf prints came yesterday, since his had not arrived yet, he took the liberty of opening Brownson's package. Allen then explains a devious way by which Brownson might get some prints he has wanted.

to O(restes) A. Brownson Boston, Massachusetts
Allen is open to conviction on the validity of Catholicism as he is on any fair topic of debate. He reminds Brownson that once Brownson said that there is a greater similarity between his faith and Catholicism than any other protestant religion. This similarity is based upon unity and the large number of varied peoples it embraces. Allen then proceeds to explain a few of his beliefs.

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.) (Botre Dame, Indiana)
Every nun who received a picture of the Holy Face is deeply grateful. Mother said, "It was worth taking you to Notre Dame, just to meet him." Sister Louise has made three meditations on it. The story of Margaret Sinclair delighted them. Sister knows how much Hudson must like the prayer for her beatification.

Anderson, Mrs. W(illiam) M(arshall) Circleville, (Ohio)
to James (Alphonsus) McMaster (New York, New York)
She has received a letter from Mr. Anderson in Havana, who has not yet told her to address him in Mexico. She asks McMaster to send the enclosed letters for her through the French consul. She forwarded two notes to McMaster, but he was obliged to be absent at the time, and consequently Mr. Anderson never received them although he remained in New York some time. She will be grateful if he sends the present letters, so that they may reach her husband. She encloses fifty cents for postage. P.S. Anderson is visiting W(illia)m Allen at Fruit Hill, (Ohio) and she will return to Circleville within two weeks.
