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 "E" notifies McMaster that Major John D. Keiley has been named Commendatore of the Order of Pius IX and that Cardinal Franchi will send the brief of the order to him in a few days. She asked through Cardinal Franchi that Cardinal Antonelli not even tell Roncetti but to write to America first. She will send the brief and a package with the necessary insignia to McMaster to that he may have the honor of presenting them to Keiley, and asks McMaster to acknowledge their receipt. She tells...

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. Monsignor Dillon has a most wonderful devotion for that shrine, and spends much time there. The book is approved by the Holy Father, who made Monsignor Dillon his private chamberlain and wrote him a "nice letter", as did...

Scope and Contents A letter from Henry Sayers and McMaster's paper of the 15th, inform her that McMaster has suffered a great loss in the death of his wife. Though not having met Mrs. McMaster, Miss Edes had held her in high esteem because of the many tributes to her high quality she had heard. 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 She writes at the request of the artist Signor Carnevali to tell that the five portraits ordered for Memorial Hall are ready. They are: Cardinal Leonardo Antonelli, Prefect of the Propaganda, Mgr. Bedini, Mgr. Jacobini, Mgr. Persico, and Mgr. O'Connell. She added a sixth, that of Mgr. Hostlot. Persico was as disagreeable as possible about the portrait. He is very ill-mannered. She sees by the papers that Father Sorin has returned to America. What a wonderful man he is ! She doesn't know...

Scope and Contents The portraits by Signor Carnevale are ready to be sent. Perhaps they can send them in the box of the Archbishop of New York who will come to Rome on his return from Palestine. She has heard nothing of Edwards' host of last summer. Miss Mary Gwendolyn Caldwell of University fame was in great danger of death from typhoid fever. She sent Father Daniel E. Hudson a copy of the "Osservatore Romano" in which she gave account of the doings at Baltimore with mention of Father General Edward Sorin,...

Scope and Contents The portraits of Cardinals Capalti, Franchi and Simeoni are pronounced excellent. She had the banker, Mr. Handley, attend to forwarding them to America. She is sorry to hear of the death of Madame Gregori. She is sending Father Daniel E. Hudson the "Mustere du Sang" over which there was so much talk relative to the letter of the Pole and in which Cardinal Manning took his part. She cannot understand all this sickly sentimentality over the wrongs of the Jews. P. S. Archbishop Corrigan had...

Scope and Contents She has been suffering from another attack of influenza. The cold this winter has been unheard of in Italy. Mgr. Jacobini gave Carnevali every facility. The Propaganda will loan the artist the portrait of Cardinal Leonard Antonelli. The Rector of the North American College will loan him the portrait of Cardinal Bedini. She asks if Edwards wants Bedini painted as a cardinal or a prelate. The prelate would be most suitable as Bedini had nothing to do with the college as a Cardinal. :: XI-1-i...

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...

Scope and Contents Edes thanks Hudson for the draft of 375 lire and has forwarded to him two articles. She compiled the sketch of St. Benedict Labre 's life from the work that was presented to the Pope at the canonization ceremony. If Edes can find a copy of the work she will send it to Hudson. Edes describes some of her experiences connected with several cononization causes, since she began residing in Rome. She is sorry to hear that Hudson has been ill and can sympathize with him for since the beginning...

Scope and Contents Edes will send Hudson a facsimile of the chains of St. Peter and St. Paul. Did Hudson meet Father Carberry, O.P., when he visited America with the Dominican General? Hudson no doubt has seen the papal telegram to Washington and the reply. Protestant newspapers went so far as to declare that the Catholic Church was anti-republic. Edes told the editor of the Observatore Romano and prevailed upon him to tell Louis Cardinal Jacobini the mistake they had made. Giacomo Cardinal Antonelli...

Scope and Contents It is an age since anyone from Notre Dame has written. She laughs at the idea of having her picture in Memorial Hall. It is piping hot in Rome. She is disgusted with the Faribault-Ireland affair. She has no feeling but utter contempt for Archbishop John Ireland of St. Paul and his clique. Such intriguing was never witnessed; and all to run the risk of giving the death-blow to Catholic education in the United States. They maneuvered to get a special commission of Cardinals who knew nothing of...

Scope and Contents She received the Postal order and paid the artist. The portrait of Mgr. Ignatius Persico, Om. Cap. is considered a great success. She relates a story in connection with the picture of Persico, his rudeness, etc. It is the general opinion that Persico's term of office at Propaganda will not redound to the benefit of that institution; he is too old-foggy. Father Bernard Smith, O.S.B., Pro-Rector of the American College finally allowed his portrait to be taken when he learned that it would...

Scope and Contents

She feels bowed to the ground with a sense of her own iniquities in delaying to acknowledge the receipt of Lire 200. She sends the receipted bill of Carnevale for the two portraits of Cardinals Manning and Ledochowski. The copy of the Healy Portrait of Abbot Smith, Pro-Rector of the American College at the time of its foundation in 1859, is better than the original.
