Scope and Contents

Crime of every nature is ripe there. To Edes' mind we are fast marching on to communism. She supposes Father General Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C. , has long since arrived. Edes again missed the chance of sending Hudson the chains. She wanted to send the package by Bishop Joseph Gregory Dwenger but the rector of the College objected. Edes hears so many unkind things said about her by their bishops, who render her responsible for the Abbe's James Alphonsus McMaster? vagaries, that she never goes near those who come there. It is a pity that readers ? of Father O'Brien of the Western Catholic could not hear all the good that is said of Dwenger. What a sad fate it was that the last years of Bishop John Baptist Purcell should have been so filled with bitterness. And Archbishop James Frederick Wood - a prince among men. What a lesson his will is to some of the cardinals there. Cardinal Sangnigni ? left two million francs to his nephew. Cardinal Catarini's will is being disputed by the heirs. Monsignor Virilli postulates the cause of Benedict Labre. Edes is glad Hudson approves of the letters in the Tablet. She is not responsible for the errors. The interview of the Herald correspondent with John Cardinal Simeoni did take place. It was not true as stated by that paper that the interview was held by desire of the Pope. The corollary relative to Errington and his dejection was false. Monsignor Thomas Capel was with the correspondent, one Meltzer, head of the Paris home of the Herald. Errington is not in disgrace there nor was he the medium of publishing the celebrated letter. He was given a copy after it had been communicated to Archbishop Thomas William Croke . Hudson should never be deceived by the Boston Pilot. Connellan is in with the most advanced Irish party. It is not true that Capel goes on a lecture tour to America to make money. Nor does he go to transact ecclesiastical business or attend to any affairs for Propaganda. It is a pity his vanity leads him so astray. The matter of the promises of Mary Margaret is before the Holy Office. :: X-2-l A.L.S. 10pp. 12mo. 16
