(MacDonnell), Sister M(ary) Magdalene:
(Lisbon, Portugal)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
They have had trouble since February and now hope for peace. On April 29, Parliament was opened by the King D. Manoct and all passed off remarkably well. The King is pale and sad and if he lives they say he has the makings of a fine king. Queen Amelia is hated by the people and the Republican Press.

Notre Dame, Indiana
Fanning was in Altoona, Pennsylvania, yesterday and spent last evening with Dr. Sheedy who has been reading the Universe articles and who is one of the earliest workers in the social settlement field in Pittsburgh. Sheedy deplored the fact that the spiritual element was missing from the social settlements. Frances tells him that she had a delightful time at Notre Dame and he is glad to know that D'Arcy is coming to see Hudson.

Edwards, C(larence) R.:
Washington, (District of Columbia)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, (C.S.C.):
Notre Dame, Indiana
Father (Edward J.) Vattmann has advised Edwards of Hudson's desire to gain some reliable information about the Judge Wilfley matter, and therefore Edwards encloses a copy of a letter he has just written to Vattmann.
Enclosure:1908 May 6
(Edwards, Clarence R.):
Washington, (District of Columbia)
to Father E(dward) J. Vattmann:
Wilmette, Illinois
Edwards is quite familiar with the facts in the so-called Wilfley matter. Upon the recommendation of Secretaries Taft and Root, the President sent Judge Wilfley to China to organize the new American Court there. Wilfley was well qualified, having been in the Philippines for five years. He set to work to raise high standards of admission to the bar. A fight was put up to have Wilfley removed from office. It was language quoted from Blackstone that the rejected lawyers used as the basis of their attack. The incident has been the subject of careful investigation by the President, the Secretary of State and Monsignor Falconio, the Papal Delegate. The investigation resulted in the complete and unqualified exoneration of Judge Wilfley by Falconio. Wilfley had no connection with the Watch Club. The sub-committee cleared Wilfley. Edwards has known Wilfley for eight years and does not hesitate to say that he is free from religious bias. The President, in an open letter, dismissed the petition for the removal of Wilfley from office.

Frenguelli, Pasquali:
Rome, (Italy)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He announces the shipping of the portraits of Leo XIII, Pius XI, Cardinal Satolli, P. Fleming, Marucchi and Zardetti. All of them were executed from photograph with the exception of that of Fleming who posed only once. He made the portrait of Leo XIII in the typical Italian style of the 15th century, which perhaps is not well known in America. He asks for something more than the price agreed on. He has the "S. Corpora" which belonged to Cardinal Ledochowski, and he is willing to sell them if Edwards is interested.

Miss Conway's sketch of Jeffrey Roche seems to Stoddard to be very good-hearted. Stoddard knew Roche well. Roche suffered much in the loss of his first wife. He was the soul of hospitality.

Manila, P(hilippine) I(slands)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, (C.S.C.):
Notre Dame, Indiana
Since his arrival, he has often been feasted here and there. It is gratifying to know that after some years of hard study in a strange country his people appreciate these efforts of his. Favis has received the book Hudson sent, and knows the Ave Maria will continue to defend the Filipino people.

Storer, Maria Longworth:
Versailles, (France)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Storer is glad to have the news of that miracle spread abroad as much as possible. Her preface was only put in the pamphlet because Cardinal Gibbons liked it. (Charles Warren) Stoddard sent her quite a long dedication for the new edition of "The Lepers." She only altered it by putting in her Christian name instead of Mrs. Bellamy Storer. She thought the text much too complimentary to them.
