Ascension, Mother M., Notre Dame, Indiana to James F. Edwards,|, 1893 July 07

She has not heard anything since Mgr. Francesco Satolli's visit but things have assumed a menacing appearance. The Sisters at Notre Dame learned that they were to be cut off from St. Mary's, the habit changed, that they were to don a sort of secular uniform and be as servant girls working in the College. A committee was appointed to oppose such underhand design binding them against their will. Mother General of the Sisters of Holy Cross was greatly incensed against the administration. Mother Ascension always said they could not get along this way. It is an awful affair. If Satolli fails it will go hard with some of them. She does not know Archbishop Patrick W. Riordan of San Francisco, California well enough to appeal to him. :: XI-1-k A.L.S. 4pp.
