Summary
Offering titles of Bollandist works on "Darerca, alias Edana, alias Modwenna...;" adding "The late Bp. Grant studied the subject, & then said he was not prepared to asseverate anything about her xcept that she xisted - but I don't think it's quite so bad as that;" adding, in a postscript, "The Scotch Bps, as I think I mentioned, propose to put her into the national Catholic Kalendar, as Edana on July 6."
