Gallagher has been forced to recuperate his broken health at the Sulpher Springs, and has availed himself of his leisure time to write on the status of the Clergy, a subject which has filled his mind for 16 years. He encloses a few pages, which McMaster may care to publish, and requests that a nom de plume, such as Juris discipulus or the like be used, as well as a different locality than San Francisco be used. The clergy here San Francisco are in agreement but have no official voice, and are relying on McMaster to inform them when and what to do. Gallagher encloses $20, ten from himself, and five each from Father Joseph Gallagher and Father A Cullen. He and Father Joseph send seasons greetings to McMaster and his family. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
