Edes, Ella B., Rome, Italy, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1880 July 2
Scope and Contents
Edes has received Hudson's letters. She has been ill. She hopes to fulfill all obligations and promises interrupted by the illness and death of her second mother Miss McBride and the settlement of affairs. Edes sends a letter for the Ave Maria subject to Hudson's approval. She will be satisfied with the same paid to Daniel Paul, $10 for a monthly letter. Though not pretending to equal Paul as a writer, she believes she has a better source of information than Paul could possibly attain and a more extended acquaintance of Paris. Paul has gone to Stuttgart to study music. She does not see how he could write a Roman letter from there; it is almost impossible to get at the "real truth." Hudson should inform Edes if he accepts the arrangement. She will write about the 15th of each month as it will be more recent then. She hopes Hudson has received the copy of "Gerarchia Ecclesiastica." Hudson need not acknowledge the receipt of such things by special letter. She cannot understand why the article on the Annunciation did not reach Hudson in time. It will not fall upon the same day until 1937 when both will probably be dead. In 1888 it will fall on Holy Thursday. Hudson should tell Father Sorin that she has found a brief of Gregory XIII. Inclosed: Monthly letter. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
