Spalding thanks McMaster for his kindness in helping young Jenkins and he sends McMaster the money he advanced. Spalding apologizes for the words of his nephew John Lancaster in the Ontological controversy, and assures McMaster that the young man had no intention of questioning the truth of McMaster's statements. If such an interpretation has been attached to his words, he is sorry, and has been asked Spalding to make amends. Spalding authorizes McMaster to state in the Journal that he has received assurances from a reliable authority that statements made by a writer in the Catholic Mirror are not meant to be a reflection on McMaster's honesty. Spalding does not wish his name to be published in connection with this unpleasant affair. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
