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 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 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 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 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 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

Eliza Allen Starr received the 60 photos together with the Veronica which she will forward to Hudson, that Edes sent from Italy. Due to high prices she has been unable to get many of the books requested. She discusses the difficulties of getting the prints that Hudson requested. She sends part of the letter from Father Mullen at Genazzano and requests the address of the Crozier Canons in Belgium. A cholera epidemic is spreading through Italy. :: X-3-b A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.

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

Father Belgrano, formerly of Prague, is now Prior of St. Monica's in Rome. Belgrano will procure the prints for Edes that Hudson requested. :: X-3-b A. Postcard S. 1p. 32mo.

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 . 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

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 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.
