Yesterday Franciscus prayed at the place where St. Agnes was beheaded. On the feast of St. Cecilia Franciscus heard he singing of "Cantantibus Organis". On February 2 he will offer the Pope a fifteen pound candle as a mark of respect and submission by the Congregation of Holy Cross. They are still at Santa Brigida. The sisters are in great perplexity in regard to the sale. The count in whose name the contract was made, backed out, which makes it necessary for someone else to take the house in his own name. The sisters found one and await the legal papers from Poland for the final step. Hudson would do the sisters a favor by securing the documents of Lucido Cardinal Parocchi, the Mother Superior and Franciscus which are in the hands of Sisters Martha Maher and Sarah Dooley. They were sent by their Superior to America to collect for Santa Brigida. The sisters were ousted from Cork diocese and placed under interdict by the Bishop. They rented a house near Queenstown. The sister sent from Ireland left Brigida after ten days and sent a lawyer to claim money, etc. so that the police looked after her and the Cardinal Vicar got furious. The sisters in America do not know that their house in Ireland has been suppressed. Parocchi has ordered the collections stopped. :: X-3-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
