He lost his papers and baggage leaving Rome so it will be difficult to rewrite some of the happenings. He plans to return to Rome, should the Pope or his successor accept the Zouaves in his service, as a private of lieutenant if his health and means permit. He does not have any doubt that within a few months the temporal possessions of the Pope will be restored. As a temporal prince the Pope will have an army that is to be maintained by his spiritual subjects, but until the turn of events can be forseen, nothing can be done. Murray is seeking employment and asks McMaster to recommend him to a position that would not derogate from his former position in Rome. A professorship in a college would be preferred as he has his A. B. from the University of Laval. If McMaster could find him a position he would be grateful, as he is without resources. He was knighted after Montana, Order of Pius IX given the title of the Roman Cavalier. For fifteen months, he was in the Canadian Education Department and edited the English Journal of Education from 1859-1860 having contributed some articles. He also worked as Clerk of English correspondence in the War Department. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
