Scope and Contents Msgr. Benjamin Cavicchioni begs Corrigan not to show the copy of the Breve in his handwriting as it might be recognized. It is wonderful to find out the various intrigues of Archbishop James Gibbons . He has succeeded in conveying the idea that he is the leading mind and man in the American Episcopate. Edes has utter contempt for him. Did Corrigan see that nonsense in the "Herald" of jan.24, copied from the Baltimore "Sun?" Those stories were all his. Edes thinks Gibbons is a fraud....

Scope and Contents Edes forgot to ask Corrigan how long he will remain in Baltimore for the Council. Probably McCloskey has received her two volumes of Sep.25 and Oct.12. She received Corrigan's last of Oct.8 and will ask for the documents for John Gilmary Shea . Just now all are away. Yesterday and today all the Colleges returned save the Irish which will make the retreat at Tivoli. The Irish conference is put off till January. Cardinal Edward McCabe will will not come in any case. His health will not...

Scope and Contents Edes thought it just as well not to answer Corrigan's last two letters while he was in Baltimore. She made a row over that "German panegyrical article" in the Osservatore both to Jacobinetto Msgr. Dominic Jacobini and the editors. By means of statistics in Corrigan's letter and others procured from Father Dougherty and the directory, Edes wrote the article in the Osservatore. She insisted it should print the retraction. The article was presented by a most excellent German religious...

Scope and Contents She sends an article for publication if Hudson believes it to be suitable. It may be too heavy for the Ave Maria. She will forward "Our Lady's Girdle" as soon as she has more information. Miss Edes will send the new "Gerarchia" when it is issued. A good Catholic paper is needed in Rome, as the "Aurora" does not amount to much. She discusses the press in Rome. Bishop Forchi has finally been appointed Bishop of Perugia. Miss Edes is sorry she alluded to it as she did before. She explains...

Scope and Contents Miss Edes hopes the article on "Our Lady's Girdle" will be forwarded by the middle of May. She has had her greatest trial since the death of her mother in 1854, in the loss of her friend Miss McBride, who died April 12. She was 84 and for years like a mother to Miss Edes. Many of the readers of the Ave Maria must be familiar with her name. She sends a copy of the Secret of a Salette which the Bishop of Lecce sent her. Hudson may do as he wishes as to translating and publishing it....

Scope and Contents Edes has received Hudson's letters. She has been ill. She hopes to fulfill all obligations and promises interrupted by the illness and death of her second mother Miss McBride and the settlement of affairs. Edes sends a letter for the Ave Maria subject to Hudson's approval. She will be satisfied with the same paid to Daniel Paul, $10 for a monthly letter. Though not pretending to equal Paul as a writer, she believes she has a better source of information than Paul could possibly attain...

Scope and Contents She acknowledges receipt of Hudson's favor of May 18 and the draft. She waited to secure the faculties from Ara Cochi? but yesterday she learned that the Procurator General of the Alcanterines was not at the convent so an attendant gave the faculties. What Hudson says of the Irish question is but too true. They are a curious people. Charles Stuart Parnell seems working "pro domo sua" and those crazy sisters of his ought to be "spaynkted" as Toddie would say. She thinks the grandfather...

Scope and Contents Edes sends the Franciscan faculties with this letter, together with Father Curci's translation of the latest Encyclical. She sends an historical article on the Chains of St. Peter. The attempt on President James A. Garfield 's life was terrible, America seems as bad as Europe. A pilgrimage of some 1400 Slavs to Rome is over. The usual situation resulting from the Roman idea that strangers are here to be preyed upon was avoided. Emily Harper is in Rome writing a new book. :: X-2-h A.L.S....

A box of relics is being sent by mail. Nothing new since the launching of the Italia last week at Costellanere. Regards to Father General Edward Sorin. :: X-2-g A. Postcard S. 1p. 32mo.

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter received. The relics Hudson desired were sent registered mail. She has a cousin who is a Catholic and is thinking of marrying a Protestant. She asks Hudson to send a copy of "Mixed Marriages" to her. Miss Edes is humored by Hudson's remark of the foreign correspondent writing at home. During the summer Miss Edes took the Roman letter for the "Tablet." An article she wrote appeared in the "Register" with the same mistakes that were made on it in the "Tablet." Monsignor...

Scope and Contents Edes sends an article on the espousal of the Blessed Virgin, as well as a facsimile on the chains of St. Peter and St. Paul. From American newspapers which she has read, it appears another member of the Papal House holds a special mission. Actually this exists in his imagination, for Monsignor Termez is only a domestic prelate and Vicar-General of the Diocese of Agen, France. Edes had been assured by good authority that Pope Leo XIII has no intention of quitting Rome, nor is it true...

Scope and Contents Miss Starr told Miss Edes last year that Hudson may be interested in some articles treating of Our Lady. She had no courage to write last year as she was ill and never took a pen in hand. Enclosed is an article on the Shrine of Our Lady of Atocha, in Mexico ?, and others are in preparation, as Our Lady del Pilar of Guadalupe and an article on the the Santa Cingula, or Girdle of Our Lady. Owing to the seizure and sale of convent libraries she has picked up curious works in Latin and...

Scope and Contents Enclosed is the receipt of Mrs. Eva Mariotti for $10.00. Today Mariotti informed Edes that she mailed to Hudson an article on St. Benedict. Edes asked Monsignor Denis O'Connell if he would like the Ave Maria for the College. He said he would be greatly pleased with it. Regarding Father Thomas E. Walsh's visit, the offending porter was the Cerberus of Edes home. Monsignor Domonic Jacobini promises to sit for his photo ere long. Edes sent Hudson a copy of the Italian pastoral of...

Scope and Contents Edes will give Eva Mariotti six dollars and will keep a franc in payment for her paragraphs in the article. She was surprised to find in the latest Ave Maria the interpolation in the article and poured out her woes to Professor James Edwards. They concluded that Hudson did not like the remainder of the article and remembering that Edes had been Roman correspondent for the London Tablet, supposed her the author of the account of St. Januarius and so inserted it. Edes' curiosity regarding...
