Edes, Ella, Rome, Italy to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1892 April 05

She feels bowed to the ground with a sense of her own iniquities in delaying to acknowledge the receipt of Lire 200. She sends the receipted bill of Carnevale for the two portraits of Cardinals Manning and Ledochowski. The copy of the Healy Portrait of Abbot Smith, Pro-Rector of the American College at the time of its foundation in 1859, is better than the original. She could not but laugh over Edwards' request for her portrait. :: XI-1-j A.L.S. (Typed) 1p.
