L ETTER FROM J. M ATULEWICZ TO F R . B UCZYS CONCERNING THE AUDIENCE WITH P OPE P IUS X Rome, July 31, 1909 Dear Frank, A week has passed since I came to Rome. Yesterday I went to the Holy Father and received a benediction for myself and for all those for whom I wanted it. Today I went to the Congregation in our cause. I have been promised an answer and the necessary directives the day after tomorrow, which is Monday. If I receive this answer, perhaps I’ll be able to leave on Tuesday. I’ll tell you about everything when I get back. Before we meet anywhere, please be so kind as not to leave Gielgudyszki 1 until you hear from me from Warsaw. I didn’t expect everyone here to be so helpful and kind, making everything easy for me.
