Edes, Ella, Rome, Italy to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1892 July 08

It is an age since anyone from Notre Dame has written. She laughs at the idea of having her picture in Memorial Hall. It is piping hot in Rome. She is disgusted with the Faribault-Ireland affair. She has no feeling but utter contempt for Archbishop John Ireland of St. Paul and his clique. Such intriguing was never witnessed; and all to run the risk of giving the death-blow to Catholic education in the United States. They maneuvered to get a special commission of Cardinals who knew nothing of the true state of things in America. It is whispered that any amount of money was spent to carry out their aim. They would not dare make public the Ireland "Pro Memoria", the document on which the decision was based. What a farce the Freeman's Journal has become under the Fords. She asks is it true that Maurice Francis Egan is to assume the Editorship of a Daily Catholic Journal in Chicago. :: XI-1-j A.L.S. (Typed) 2pp.
