He copies from a printed form for the first part of the Predictions and added some comments himself. He is not gentle with Freemasons. In this country they differ from those of Europe. He has had many opportunities to appear in public with masons, some Catholic by name, but some non-Catholics. The bitterest ranting preachers belong to this class. Sooner or later Freemasons in this country will unite against Catholics. In the army, navy, railroads, corporations and other public institutions, only Freemansons will be promoted. They have contributed money and arms to their European confreres to fight Catholic interests in France, Italy, Rome. President Ulysses S. Grant is trying to make all the Jews his friends and almost to a man all leading Jews are Freemasons. He suspects that the radicals under Grant will raise the antipopery cry in the next election. They see that their party is losing ground in every direction. Some Jew might prefer justice and sound policy to the principles of their sect, but the majority would work for the anti-Catholic party. Grant has all the elements for a future tryant and persecutor. He gives McMaster full power to delete this material in any way he sees fit to do. He would not like to injure the usefulness of the paper, and his name is not known to McMaster's readers. He feels about secret societies as he does about venomous serpents. They are the reality of what the serpent in the terrestrial paradise was the figure. McMaster is the great champion of true Catholicity in this country. May God prolong his life and usefulness for many years. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
