McQuaid received a letter from Ella B. Edes . There is nothing special in it except what the Secretary and Msgr. Sbarretti told her in regard to the German question. Father P.M. Abbelen and his underhand workers will get very little satisfaction. The concession of separate parishes for respective languages will be granted as it already exists, through the action of the Bishops. Edes also says the Catholic University affair will not be settled until Cardinal James Gibbons gets there. The papers up here are quiet about the Father Edward McGlynn affair. The excitement was manufactured for a purpose by the Fenian element. In Chicago Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan dined with Michael Davitt and Gibbons had an audience with him. In New York, Davitt faces ten thousand people and announces his land theories, as bad and worse than McGlynn. Corrigan did well to protest such a scandal. The disturbances at St. Stephen's seem ended. McQuaid had not heard of Ramsay Crook's sickness or death until he received Corrigan's telegram. McQuaid will write today or tomorrow to Edes. :: I-1-i A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York
