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 Marked Private - She is writing a full account of the death of the Rector of the American College Monsignor Louis Edward Hostlot to Monsignor John H. Farley . She heard the news of his death while on her way to see him. They feel his loss very much at Propaganda.

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 Edes made an error in reporting that the Duke Sahiati would not return to Rome until sometime in January. She has had his receipt since January 31, but put off sending it until she completed an article on St. Francis of Assissi. Edes was happy to see Father-General Edward Sorin, C.S.C. on his recent visit to Rome. In the photo of the Baltimore Bishop's Council, which she received, Sorin was the only one she could recognize. She was shocked by the death of Daniel Paul . Archbishop...

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 Hudson must not feel at all obliged to accept any article Edes sends. Edes wants numbers of the Ave Maria for Father Armellein, S.J ., who is her confessor. Edes sent Hudson the Gerarchia for 1886. She stood over Monsignor Ciccolini and made him correct all the errors she could. Edes sent, in a bundle of letters to Eliza Allen Starr, a photo of St. Veronica. She thinks Anna Hanson Dorsey's early tales surpass her later ones. Edes does not admire "Palms"; she calls attention to the...

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 Edes sends Hudson 400 copies of printed matter requested. They were made from the same plates which are in the hands of Vice Papal Sacristan, Father Guglielmo Pifferi, O.S.A., who with Father Belgrano, Prior of St. Monica, brought the copies to Edes. Belgrano was for years in Prague, as confessor to the late Empress of Austria, Marianna of Savoy. Belgrano is anxious to know if Father-General Edward Sorin, C.S.C. has authorized the Congregation of Holy Cross to enroll in the devotion to...

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 The death of their rector, Father Louis E. Hestolt stunned Edes. Edes always turned to him for advice. They did not like the article on him in the Ave Maria by Daniel Paul . She hopes he received the Gerarchia for 1884 she sent. Because of Monsignor Ciccolini? it came before the March Consistory when all the changes are made. There has been a general whisking around of cardinals, bishops and prelates. His Holiness Leo XIII seems possessed of the desire of change. It is rumored that the...

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...
