Voynich buys some Jesuit manuscripts
#32
The scenario you propose is possible, but there are many possibilities:
- Voynich decided not to tell her the last details in order to keep his promise
- She misremembered (e.g. "near Frascati" became "at Frascati").
- Voynich himself did not know the last details

There are other mistakes in her letter, e.g. the precise role of the Vatican, which suggests she 'almost' knew the truth, but not exactly.

There most famous "Villa Torlonia" in the area is probably the one in Rome.

Edit: this document lists the Jesuit houses in the area, and who was based there at the start of the year 1912:
