Edes forgot to ask Corrigan how long he will remain in Baltimore for the Council. Probably McCloskey has received her two volumes of Sep.25 and Oct.12. She received Corrigan's last of Oct.8 and will ask for the documents for John Gilmary Shea . Just now all are away. Yesterday and today all the Colleges returned save the Irish which will make the retreat at Tivoli. The Irish conference is put off till January. Cardinal Edward McCabe will will not come in any case. His health will not allow it. The Herald states that Errington has gone over to the Parnell party. The Deans are in their Florence home. Miss Metcalfe is with them for the present but passes the winter with Miss Sedgwick, who is already here. Dear Bernardo is still haunting the Paris boulevards. He is greatly exercised over the state of the Church in France. Fathers O'Keefe and Dougherty are here, so Father Augustine J. Schulte tells her. Has Corrigan seen the pamphlets of Father William Faerber on education? He presented them to the Holy Father Leo XIII who was very much pleased. Schulte promised Edes some copies. Edes sent two new volumes on the Pallium and the last work of Cardinal Thomas Zigliara. She will send that of Msgr. Francis Satolli which is greatly praised here. She sent them also to the AbbéJames Alphonsus McMaster , but he does not condescend to note or review books for Rome. What a mess he makes of things lately. Corrigan should suggest to Msgr. John M. Farley to acknowledge the receipt of the books he wrote for and which were all found and forwarded. They had a nice scandal the other day, the marriage of the idiot Baroness Dachrocellen?, morganatic daughter of the late King of Prussia, to that old reprobate Ex. Msgr. de la Viles de Surreine, Count by birth, who was taken from the rolls of the Vatican some years since for open immorality. They were married in the American Methodist Church in Piazza. It is rumored that some bishop is about to join the National Italian Church which was lately excommunicated by the Cardinal Vicar. She trusts the report to be false. She is sorry to hear of Cardinal John McCloskey 's serious fall and hopes it will prove nothing. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo.
