Scope and Contents

"E" notifies McMaster that Major John D. Keiley has been named Commendatore of the Order of Pius IX and that Cardinal Franchi will send the brief of the order to him in a few days. She asked through Cardinal Franchi that Cardinal Antonelli not even tell Roncetti but to write to America first. She will send the brief and a package with the necessary insignia to McMaster to that he may have the honor of presenting them to Keiley, and asks McMaster to acknowledge their receipt. She tells also of a certain man, Davis, who has been mistrusted in Rome. This man is now in New York attempting to get a job as a choirmaster and should be watched. Patrick V. Hickey is intending to hire him as his Roman correspondent but Edes promises to get the whole story from Mgr. Cataldi. The Cardinal has told her he will send Roncetti as an apostolic delegate to South America to replace Vanutelli, who is going to Belgium. He also mentions a Sister Mary Ignatius Hayes, Third Order of St. Francis. She is taking out nuns to found a cloistered convent of St. Clare in St. Paul . Cardinal John McCloskey will arrive September 10. Archbishop de St. Marc of Rennes will be made Cardinal. She will telegraph if any American Bishops are appointed. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
