Edes, Ella B., Rome, Italy, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1886 August 18

 Item — Box: CHUD 9
Identifier: CHUD X-3-c

Scope and Contents

Edes explains the difficulties she has experienced in attempting to meet Monsignor Peter Dufal, C.S.C. She contrasts the rude way she was received at Dufal's residence with the gracious manner in which she was received by the Cardinal Vicar. Edes thinks the way American Catholic newspapers crib from the column "Roman Letters", which appears in the Tablet, without crediting the same, is amusing. The Catholic Telegraph regularly gives a column of "Roman Correspondence" and the The Columbian at least a page of extracts, copied from the Tablet. The Catholic Standard of Philadelphia, besides rarely crediting what it cribs, frequently interpolates the news under what it credits to the Liverpool Catholic Times, which makes Mr. Consiallan, its correspondent, as well as the Pilot's laugh. The Catholic Mirror stole verbatim three paragraphs from the July10 "Roman Letter" column of the Tablet, including the typographical errors, inserting them in the letters from its Roman Correspondent, Waldo . Waldo is Count Edward Soderini, a writer of merit on historical and political matters, but a laughing stock among Romans because of his pomposity. Edes was amused at the editorial in the Catholic Mirror of July 31, which is an example of compromising the Pope, who is unaware that the Archbishop of Baltimore, a few years ago, withdrew recognition of this newspaper as his official organ. Tell Father General quietly not to be taken in by Monsignor Germano Straniero. :: X-3-c A.L.S. 12pp. 12mo.
