Scope and Contents Edes sends an article on the Immaculate Conception. The Pope will write an encyclical on Freemasonry. Edes sends the recent pastoral of the Bishop of Salford Herbert Vaughan . It gives an explanation of "our brethern on the other side of the fence." The American Conference has opened. Edes advises Hudson to disregard all news reports on the Vatican difficulties. Strict secrecy is maintained, hence all newspaper reports are in error. Colonel Montgomery, editor of the Baltimore Sum...

Scope and Contents Edes sends the pamphlet and some counter articles that appeared in "IL Buon Giovinotto". It is with humility that Edes learns that she is listed among the American Catholic Writers. Such an honor is not in accord when the efforts of such writers as Eliza Allen Starr and Eleanor Donnelly are considered. Arthur Stace ought to stick to his pen and forget about composing music. A priest brought a letter of introduction to Edes and explained that he was suspended by Bishop O'Connor . Edes...

Scope and Contents Edes sends a second edition of the "Immaculate Conception". If it proves too long or too late for Hudson, Edes will try another periodical next year. She does not at all want to interfere with Daniel Paul . Edes hopes soon to send some short articles. She will not say on what, because she has been ousted from the field by telling beforehand what she intended to do. Paul once Played Edes the same trick. Edes has Hudson's 25 francs safe, but Duke Scipione Salviati has not yet returned to...

Scope and Contents

There is an error in some of the specimens that have been forwarded to Hudson. :: X-2-o A. Postcard S. 1p. 32mo.

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 At the request of Bishop Hebert Vaughan of Salford, England, Edes resumed writing the "Roman Correspondence" for the London Tablet, which she first began in 1880 when she replaced Doctor Brady. Did Hudson see the comment of the New York Freeman's-Journal editor, James McMaster , criticizing the Latin of the Encyclical Anspicatio Concessum, as simple and clearly not that of Leo XIII . McMaster must be happy over his daughter, Helen McMaster, entering the Carmelites. She thanks Hudson for...

Scope and Contents Edes has gotten a caligraph. They had great fun over the translation of Lapidary Latin in the Freeman of February 16. There is not much satisfaction in writing for a paper where the people are so stupidly ignorant. They are no better in home matters: Edes saw a notice "of the return to his diocese of Bishop Nicholas Aloysius Gallagher, of New Orleans." Monsignor Louis Jacobini asked Edes if the American press had lost all common sense. The canard relative to the $1,500,000 given to the...

Scope and Contents Edes thinks she has already written that the Patriot's circular was alright and she will see that the money sent reaches the right sources. She asked Marquis Sariera, editor of the Osservatore Romano who said the monument was to be at Bologna. At the request of the Bishop of Salford, Herbert Vaughan and the editor, Edes has accepted the Roman correspondence of the London Tablet, Dr. Brady having resigned. His letters are severely criticized. She does not know if she can succeed because...

Scope and Contents Enclosed is a note of acknowledgment from Duke Scipione Salviati for $95.50, sent by the Ave Maria for the Tomb of Pius IX in the Basilica of St. Lorenzo. Pope Pius IX expressed the wish that his remains should be laid at rest in this church. Already 93,000 francs have been collected for this purpose. The Tablet always had a resident correspondent in Rome. Mrs. Stone wrote for many years and about 1872, Dr. Brady, a former Anglican clergyman, succeeded her. Because his material was not...

Scope and Contents Crime of every nature is ripe there. To Edes' mind we are fast marching on to communism. She supposes Father General Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C. , has long since arrived. Edes again missed the chance of sending Hudson the chains. She wanted to send the package by Bishop Joseph Gregory Dwenger but the rector of the College objected. Edes hears so many unkind things said about her by their bishops, who render her responsible for the Abbe's James Alphonsus McMaster? vagaries, that she never...

Scope and Contents Edes sends Hudson the new "Gerarchia". The chains are still on the table, she will give them to Father-General Edward Sorin, C.S.C. when he comes to Rome. She submits an article on the Visitation. Edes has been attempting to get Hudson a facsimile of the ring of Perugia. She has exhausted the stock brought her by Daniel Paul .

Scope and Contents Edes was not affronted that Hudson cut down her paper on the Visitation. Edes calls Hudson's attention to the "Roman Letter" of the London Tablet. She was disappointed at not seeing Father General Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C . Padre Ferdinando said Sorin and he called and that Edes was not to be found. The enclosed tirade against Lady Herbert and Edes appeared in the liberal Gazzettad' Italie. Edes understands it was written by Ulysses Mari who is down upon the Freeman. In the seventeen...

Scope and Contents

Two copies of poems are being sent. If Hudson is not content with the article that she sends him another can be procured. :: X-2-l A. Postcard S. 1p. 32mo.

Scope and Contents Hudson must think the photographs took the same road as the "chains," which as yet she has not found a way of forwarding. The enclosed photos do not please her as they were taken from 2 negatives. The engraving was given her by Father Bechy, General of the Society . Many of the churches there distribute pictures of their own saints when there is a general Communion. She describes the immense devotion to St. Aloysius among the young of both sexes. St. Anthony of Padua is another...

Scope and Contents Edes sends Hudson two articles. She suggests that Hudson get hold of Daniel Paul 's articles on life at the North American College at Rome for they would be of interest to Ave Maria readers. Edes sends some facsimiles of the Holy Face. The Carmelites of New Orleans sent Edes their books. Archbishop William Elder is going to present some of them to Pope Leo XIII . She is glad Hudson is pleased with pictures of Our Lady of Good Counsel and that Father-General Edward Sorin, C.S.C., was...

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...

Scope and Contents Edes inquires if she should buy copies of "Genazzano Madonnas". Edes has been recommended to write for the Freeman's Journal by Monsignor Dennis O'Connell, rector of the North American College. He thought it was a shame that there was no reliable direct correspondence with America, since most of the Catholic newspapers crib from the London Tablet, which is without credit. She sees the Baltimore Mirror does the same. Edes supposes Eduardo Soderini has been dropped; he is now the Rome...

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 received Hudson's letter concerning the pictures of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. She has written to Father Edward Mullen asking him to forward the pictures, the largest of which will cost five lire each. At the Divina Salvatore, they asked why they no longer received the Ave Maria in exchange. It is not true that the report of Monsignor Perico was telegraphed to the Pilot, entirely favorable to the Irish people, because Perico has sent no report. The document of James Cardinal Gibbons...

Scope and Contents Edes registered the 600 copies of the Madonna. Fathers Belgrano and Pfifferi brought them to Edes before she mailed them. She told Belgrano what Hudson said relative to the devotion of the Madonna at Notre Dame. He received his idea from Genazzano. The first time she writes to Father Edward Mullen, O.S.A. . Edes will send him an extract from Hudson's letter. Edes thinks there will be little difficulty in obtaining a relic of St. Robert. She has hope of securing a zucchetto of the Pope...

Scope and Contents Edes explains the difficulties she has experienced in attempting to meet Monsignor Peter Dufal, C.S.C. She contrasts the rude way she was received at Dufal's residence with the gracious manner in which she was received by the Cardinal Vicar. Edes thinks the way American Catholic newspapers crib from the column "Roman Letters", which appears in the Tablet, without crediting the same, is amusing. The Catholic Telegraph regularly gives a column of "Roman Correspondence" and the The...

Scope and Contents She has ordered copy of a book, "The Virgin Mother of Good Counsel", a history of the miraoulous pictures and the shrine of Genazzano, by her friend Monsignor Dillon of the diocese of Sidney, Australia, who has been in Rome two years for his health, be sent to McMaster.

Cardinal Alexander Barnabo has offered to say Mass for her and has promised to inform the Pope, who will pray for her soul. She sends McMaster a method of saying the Beads for the Souls in Purgatory which she...

Scope and Contents Was Father Reuben Parsons a student at the North American College? Whenever Hudson receives volumes from Propaganda he may know Edes is the guilty party. She hoped Hudson liked "Mystere du Sang". Edes has no doubt the accusation is well founded. The care the Jews take to buy up and destroy all the pamphlets on the matter proves their sense of guilt. The author of "Tyborne", Mother Magdalen Taylor is in Rome with her nuns, known as the "Nuns of the Holy Wash Tubs". Taylor is perfectly...
