Ascension, Mother M., Notre Dame, Indiana, to James F. Edwards, Rome, Italy, 1889 August 28

She is delighted that Edwards' trip is proving such a delightful source of enjoyment. She wrote Edwards of the unsatisfactory state of things and Father's Edward Sorin consequent disappointment. She has just been informed of the death of Edwards' father. Many prayers and masses will be said here. Father Sorin begs her to convey his sympathies.
