Enclosed is a note of acknowledgment from Duke Scipione Salviati for $95.50, sent by the Ave Maria for the Tomb of Pius IX in the Basilica of St. Lorenzo. Pope Pius IX expressed the wish that his remains should be laid at rest in this church. Already 93,000 francs have been collected for this purpose. The Tablet always had a resident correspondent in Rome. Mrs. Stone wrote for many years and about 1872, Dr. Brady, a former Anglican clergyman, succeeded her. Because his material was not interesting, the editor and Bishop Herbert Vaughan of Salford, England asked Edes to be the Tablet's Rome correspondent, Monsignor Thomas Cabel complained about the silence in the English Catholic Press concerning his activities. Edes sends Hudson a copy of the Italian Times, a weekly newspaper published in Rome, which is done on Edes, and the Tablet, for a recent article in the Tablet by Edes that criticized a Times article on Peter Pence. Newberger, editor of the Italian Times, was extradited in October, 1881 as a fugitive from Bavarian justice for fraudulent bankruptcy. :: X-2-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
