"a few days ago 1 received letters
from a very distinguished dignitary very
near TO the Holy Father. The first letter
is dated Rome, August II, and "a second
letter bears the date Rome. August p.

is an extract from the first: A few days
ago. says my correspondent, / had
long interview with Cardinal -, and
had to go into details about the Lexow
investigation and its disclosures, and the
