McMaster invites Wadhams to come to St. Trond and become a Redemtorist. On October 15 Clary Clarence Walworth , Isaac Thomas Hecker, McMaster, and ten others took the habit of the order and began the year at the Noviciate. McMaster felt sorrow for Wadhams' present position. McMaster, Clary, and Hecker decided to pray for Wadhams, and the former would also write to Wadhams. He would never have asked Wadhams to join the Catholic Faith and to seek the Congregation if he, McMaster, had not tried it first and now believed it to be the right thing for Wadhams. As a Redemptorist, Wadhams would find happiness and comfort. Wadhams should act immediately. All of his friends are gone, and he should leave them in God's hands. If Wadhams wishes to strive for their conversion he should seek Father Gabriel Rumpler's advice. McMaster thinks the Bishop could aid in the conversion of Wadhams' friends. God will comfort Wadhams' mother among her other children. He tells Wadhams to go immediately, and ask Shepherd to accompany him, into the house of the Redemptorists of New York. Wadhams should study French, when he reaches New York, in order to make his conferences with the Master of Novices in St. Trond. McMaster hopes that Walworth will arrive soon. After completing the novitive, Wadhams and McMaster will be together in the house of studies. McMaster gives him directions on coming to St. Trond. McMaster tells Wadhams that although the latter must make his will before he leaves America he should not dispose his property but rather let it go to the support of his mother. Father Gabriel Rumpler will aid Wadhams in passage money if he should need it. McMaster believes Wadhams will be successful. He wishes to hear from Wadhams as soon as the latter makes his arrangements. Wadhams is asked to look up George Kneeland and Henry McVickar. McMaster sends his regards to Wadhams' mother and niece, the Judge at Ticonderoga, and to Mrs. Atherton and her daughter. McMaster has received a letter from John Dalgairns, since his conversion that John Newman was received into the Church in his own oratory at Littlemore, by Father Dominic, a Passionist. Newman may enter the Passionist order. McMaster says that this order may be of service in England but unless they change their system are totally unfit for America. The Redemptorists order and its members is the one for America. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
