Scope and Contents

Arthur Carey died in sight of Cuba, on Thursday in Holy Week, the 12th day from New York. The immediate death was a hemorage from the lungs, which suffocated him. The letter referring to it came this afternoon--April 26. This loss leaves McMaster's life very empty. He is without hope of doing anything in his church. He wishes Wadham and he were together. Bishop Onderdonk has declined ordaining him next summer, and it is probable that he will never do it; but Dr. McVickar, his warm friend of the past summer, is about to write to Bishop Levi Silliman Ives and it is probable that he will go there in about a month. It is thought that Bishop Ives will ordain him in six months or a year. He will take orders wherever he can obtain them. He has no desire to go to North Carolina alone but he submits to the guidance of others. He has pity on Wadhams for the grief the word of their mutual friend's death will cause him. Their lives will soon be passed and he hopes they shall be ready. He is unable to write on any other topic this morning because his grief is too great. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
