". . . I ask you to present to his Eminence the Cardinal your uncle my respectful regards . . . ."
The Cardinal mentioned is likely William Henry O'Connell (1859-1944), who was scandalized when it was discovered that his nephew, Reverend James P. O'Connell, violated his vows and secretly married a year after Caruso's letter.
