He asks about the letters which he sent three or four months ago. Has McMaster received them? He has been living quietly in the Novitiate. They will receive seven students from St. James' College, Baltimore, Maryland July 13. He tells of the Masses and other religious exercises held in honor of the Pope and of St. Alphonsus from June 17 to June 21. They have a large relic of St. Alphonsus which was exposed during the Te Deum for public veneration. They compared their 800 Communions to the 14 Catholics at Annapolis when Father Gabriel Rumpler established the Novitiate in 1853. Officials of the Naval Academy took part in the celebration for the Holy Father. He would like to see McMaster, and sends his regards to Mrs. McMaster, and to the children. He is slowly regaining his health and hopes to see them soon. P.S. He asks if McMaster knows J W. Rogers, a convert, who will deliver several lectures in their hall next January. He received a letter from his brother two weeks ago. He prays for his conversion. He thanks McMaster for the photograph which was sent. Freitag carries it in his breviary but the original is in his heart with the images of all he loves best on earth. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
