Father Remis tells Miss McSherry that he buried her brother last October, and asks that she remit $50 for the care of the grave and celebration of Masses. Letter continued on May 22, 1868. Fr. acknowledges receipt of Miss McSherry's letter and informs her that due to medical difficulties her brother's body cannot be exhumed for three years. He acknowledges and returns her check as it gives him only $35 while costing Miss McSherry $50. He asks that she send instead the books, a list of which he encloses. He especially needs prayer books, as he gives them to the sailors in the hospital. P.S. Father states he is half paralyzed and cannot write long letters. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
