He found McMaster's note of the 6th when he returned from visiting with his daughter over Easter at Frederick, He is pleased that McMaster likes "Hope of Heaven," not because of the added sales it will mean, but also because of other parties' interest and for purer motives. He spent last night at Woodstock, about 20 miles from Baltimore. It is a beautiful institution situated on the B. O. R.R. He discussed the book with the priests of the school and they believe it will do much good. He has seen but few notices so far, but one of them was by their "Protestant Lady", who said she thought the book very good, even after learning its author was a Jesuit. He encloses Bishop James F. Wood's recommendation of the books he will send to McMaster. He sent McMaster 6 copies of the "Memoirs of A Guardian Angel", a book he published in December and which has enjoyed an extraordinary sale so far. It was translated by the President of the American College in Rome. Tomorrow he will send a sermon by FatherJ. E. Keller, S.J., the Provincial of Maryland. He is glad to know that McMaster was not dissatisfied with anything in the books, but regrets that he cannot divulge the name of the author of the "Hope of Heaven." However, McMaster has Murphy's authority for copying as much of it as he pleases. The Telegraph copied one of his books complete and did not even give him credit for it. Their excuse was that they did not see the copyright; this is the second occurence of this nature. Murphy's family are all well and hopes McMaster and his family are the same. P.S. He apologizes for the long letter. He will send McMaster's letter on to the author. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
