He has waited acknowledgement from Cardinal Alexander Barnabo of the receipt of Lefevere's handsome contribution to the Holy Father; he got 10,000 francs for Lefevere's check and sent them by Paris. Bishop James F. Wood has taken 2 berths for $600 on the Cunard Line. Father Francis? McNeirny has secured for Purcell 2 staterooms on a Bremen shop for $480. Purcell has made four trips with the Bremen Line; he prefers sailing on May 25, so he won't be on sea for Pentecost Sunday, and to be in a Rome in time for the consistories preceding the 18th Centenary on June 29. Bishop Sylvester H. Rosecrans will probably be one of his party, and perhaps one or two other bishops, Bishop Edward Fitzgerald leaves today for Little Rock. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
