He sends General Kanzlers receipt for the last remittance of eight thousand francs sent by McMaster last May. His absence from Rome prevented him from sending it at an earlier date. He also sends a letter of thanks from the Minister to all the contributors. The original letter is sent so that it might be shown if necessary to such persons that might question the authenticity of a mere copy. He asks McMaster to publish it if he finds it expedient, and to save the letter, as he might need it. It is impossible to say to what lengths some people may go in this connection. The authors of the intrigue against both McMaster and himself are despised by all. An article in the Mirror is asked to be sent to his solicitor in Philadelphia, so that he might commence suit for libel against that "organ" and its backers. He does not know what course to take in regards to the Bishops. McMaster can tell those that attack his name that he has a better title to it than the signer of the Declaration. Neither would the pay of a lientenant Colonel tempt him. He asks McMaster to reopen his column to the Papal Defense Fund and to write soon. By Jan. 1, he will send what he has written of the "Crusaders". :: I-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
