 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-1-o

Scope and Contents

He received from Mr. James Alphonsus Mc Master, of the New York Freeman's Journal, the sum of 1305 lire and 50 centesimi as an offering from the students of college to the Holy Father. The Pope granted an audience to Keiley on Nov. 4 and received this testimonial of affection from His American children and blessed them all. The Holy Father signed a prepared petition asking his benediction to be sent to the college. The Pope was gratified at the outspoken condemnation of the present state of things and spoke of the attachment to the Holy See manifested in America and commended the union of Laity and clergy as tending to produce most beneficial results. P.S. He has delayed writing this in hopes of finding some way of sending the "petition" by hand, but will now forward it at the first opportunity. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
