Christian Reid's heroines are too good. Their pupils are of much coarser clay. Cardinal Cajetan Aloisi Masella sent her several Italian books lately. They are losing Vincenzo Cardinal Vannutelli, they say he will go to Rome before Easter. Bishop Geremia Bonemelli of Cremona translated Father Jacques-Marie-Louis Monsabre's conferences and added notes which were criticized and brought before the Congregation of the Index. The Bishop wrote Father Larocca on the subject and the latter told him in confidence his notes would be condemned. Bonomelli published the letter and Larocca was attacked. The Pope sent Mariano Cardinal Rampolla to reprove him. It broke the old man's heart and he sank with depression of spirits. The new General will be elected in September at Lyons. :: X-3-m A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
