He resolved upon his return from home a week ago to write to Wadhams again if he had not heard from him. He expresses his grief concerning the death of Mr. Dyer. Realizing how this death has affected Wadhams, he does not believe it likely that Wadhams will be able to fill his place with so pleasant an associate. This probability of a change interests him because he still has a desire to go to that part of the country. He has little hopes of this event occuring since he has neither heard from nor written to the Bishop since May. He desires to hear from Wadhams and wonders why he hasn't written. Perhaps if this desire had been fulfilled he would have been able to visit Wadhams. He resolves to have Wadhams over for a visit soon, unless the latter's ordination will interfere. In that case he should come at a later date, so that Wadhams can hear McMaster's confession to prepare the latter for his ordination should it occur before winter. He received a pleasant letter last week from a Mr. John D. Dalgairns, a layman and M. A. of Oxford and an inmate of John Henry Newman's at Littlemore. It was Mr. Dalgairns whom Mr. Newman pointed out to Carey as a suitable correspondent. This letter was a reply to one of McMaster's letters sent and is probably the beginning of a correspondence. This letter was difficult to transcribe. It is stated in one part of it "If ever you feel tempted to despond at the state of things in America you may turn your thoughts to England where I am sure you may rely on meeting with sympathy." Mr. Dalgairns compared Arthur Carey' s death with that of Fronde's, whose death was of great importance to the Oxford Movement. At Oxford it is hoped that the lives of the saints will replace the Critic. McMasters states that he has read the first and third of the series, which are good works. Dalgairns, in his letter, mentioned Mr. Newman's illustration of a series of devotional works by Pusey, translated from French Catholic writers, only one of which is yet published; "Guide to Passing Lent Holily." This was accompanied by the remark that the lax attitude towards theology makes it necessary to infuse unction now that deeper religious feelings are awakened. This letter also inclosed a note from "St. John" of Littlemore. It contains "St. John's" of Littlemore opinion of McMaster's expressed desire to see Carey's writings edited by Newman. He thought it a good idea, even though his writings were not well received, to give the world the remains of such a man. Further, he gives advice to the effect that rising men should devote themselves more to personal duties than to gain theological and ecclesiastical knowledge. McMaster expresses his desire for a reply to his letter as well as a visit from Wadhams, although he does realize that if the Bishop visits Essex County, and Wadhams should be ordained he would not have time to write. His greatest wish is to be a monk with Wadhams and begin a monastery in a log cabin in the heart of the Essex County woods. If they will strive and hope, he believes they will acauire this end. Johnson has gone South, but as yet McMaster has not heard of his ordination. He believes there will be trouble in this case. Platt has been ordained. McMaster is going to write to him. Henry McVickar is continuing prayers at the Seminary. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
