Scope and Contents

Edes registered the 600 copies of the Madonna. Fathers Belgrano and Pfifferi brought them to Edes before she mailed them. She told Belgrano what Hudson said relative to the devotion of the Madonna at Notre Dame. He received his idea from Genazzano. The first time she writes to Father Edward Mullen, O.S.A. . Edes will send him an extract from Hudson's letter. Edes thinks there will be little difficulty in obtaining a relic of St. Robert. She has hope of securing a zucchetto of the Pope for the Museum. Cardinal Louis Jacobini made Edes write a long letter explaining the matter. Cardinal Giovanni Simeoni made a fuss, but Edes told him she meant to have it. So he took off his head the one he was wearing. Cardinal Jacobini promised one of his as the Secretary of Propaganda should figure with the Pope in the Museum of the American Hierarchy. Edes hopes that if the Pope does give one it will not be soiled as he Leo XIII is not over clean personally. If Hudson will value them Edes will give to the Museum two zucchettos of Cardinal Alexander Barnabo . She will also give some relics of Pius IX :: X-3-c A.L. Incomplete 5pp. 12mo.
