De Vries has been allowed to say Mass again and that they are trying to assure him in Rome that his Bishop William McCloskey will gladly receive him again with a parish as good as his former one. They would not put this into writing and, so far, De Vries has not committed himself about returning. His book is to be published in a few days and he sends a copy of its introduction to McMaster. The Cardinals are anxious about American affairs but Franche is a rascal and keeps everything to himself. De Vries says that Miss Edes has helped him greatly and that Cardinal John McCloskey seems under the weather in Rome. He gives his regards to Mr. Mark Vallette and says he will say a Mass for the soul of Mrs. Anderson. Monsignor Agnossi has said that the statement about him is a lie. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
