Cardinal (Edward) McCabe will will not come in any case. His health will not allow it. The Herald states that ( ) Errington has gone over to the Parnell party. The Deans are in their Florence home. Miss Metcalfe is with them for the present but passes the winter with Miss Sedgwick, who is already here. Dear Bernardo is still haunting the Paris boulevards. He is greatly exercised over the state of the Church in France. Fathers O'Keefe and Dougherty are here, so Father (Augustine J.) Schulte tells her. Has (Corrigan) seen the pamphlets of Father (William) Faerber on education? He presented them to the Holy Father (Leo XIII) who was very much pleased. Schulte promised Edes some copies. Edes sent two new volumes on the Pallium and the last work of Cardinal (Thomas) Zigliara. She will send that of Msgr. (Francis) Satolli which is greatly praised here. She sent them also to the Abbé (James Alphonsus McMaster), but he does not condescend to note or review books for Rome. What a mess he makes of things lately. (Corrigan) should suggest to Msgr. (John M.) Farley to acknowledge the receipt of the books he wrote for and which were all found and forwarded. They had a nice scandal the other day, the marriage of the idiot Baroness Dachrocellen(?), morganatic daughter of the late King of Prussia, to that old reprobate Ex. Msgr. de la Viles de Surreine, Count by birth, who was taken from the rolls of the Vatican some years since for open immorality. They were married in the American Methodist Church in Piazza. It is rumored that some bishop is about to join the National Italian Church which was lately excommunicated by the Cardinal Vicar. She trusts the report to be false. She is sorry to hear of Cardinal (John McCloskey's) serious fall and hopes it will prove nothing.

(Baltimore, Maryland)
to (John Alphonsus McMaster):
(Brooklyn, New York)
Having been told by Mother Beatrix (of the Holy Spirit, D.C.) that she might write John, she asks what he thought of Scranton, (Pennsylvania). She had always thought that part of the country very beautiful and would have envied him were she not on a journey even more beautiful. She hopes he remains brave and cheerful as he promised. She is glad they can look back to happy hours together, and glad he has such a nice adopted sister. If he manages to write to her, he should tell whether he stopped at Philadelphia and saw Sister St. John (McMaster, S.H.C.J.), Uncle Will ( ), and his other friends. She wonders if he will be in Brooklyn when Miss Aggie (Harper) goes to the Keiley's to give the boys a jolly time, and he must tell Jack( ) not to laugh too hard. She will write a longer letter next time and sends him regards from Sister Teresa (McMaster, D.C.). (Additional note at head of letter): She asks if he remembers where she told him to get his socks. Mrs. Keiley will get them for him if he chooses. She sends regards.
