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...

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 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 .

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 mentions some books that will be published soon which Hudson may be interested in. :: X-2-m A. Postcard S. 1p. 32mo.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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

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 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 . There is no truth in the tale relative to Queen Margherita and the repeal of the Pope to allow Mass to be said in the Quirinal. Canon Anzino, royal...

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....

Scope and Contents

Edes submits an article on the "Presentation of Our Lady". Archbishop Alessandro Franchi procured permission from Pope Leo XIII for Edes to purchase books taken during the spoliation of the monasteries. From one of these she got her account of the presentation of Our Lady. :: X-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

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

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 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 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 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...

Scope and Contents

A letter of introduction for Madame Eva Mariotti of Rome. She is a recent convert to Catholicism and is acquainted with Eliza Allen Starr. Edes appreciates any kindness Hudson may extend to her. :: X-3-h A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
