Hecker regrets the occurrence of that morning, and thanks McMaster for bringing it to his attention. Such a thing happens in the best of congregations, but is entirely against his wishes. He wishes McMaster a Merry Christmas. He would call on McMaster, but must see George Hecker and his mother in the afternoon, and must go to Newport, New York tomorrow to conduct a mission for Catholics, in a meeting house. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
