The writer, McMaster's brother, says that in view of the death of E. D. McMaster, personal feelings should be calmed in the knowledge that the dead brother is in the Father's house. He would not have the dead man back in this world of pain and sorrow, yet wishes that he could have died for him. He would have willingly done so. He thanks James for his statements in regard to the deceased's last hours, saying it is a balm to his feelings. The man's sufferings must have indeed been great, but it is all past now. He requests the prayers of James. He then asks James to be his counslor. He wishes to have someone buy the entire place, or half of it, in order to pay all debts, and to release him from a place of unmingled dread which it has been since the death of his sister. He wishes to be as considerate as possible, and suggests that McMaster take the whole place and manage it as he sees fit. He will write again, however, about this. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
