He asks to be excused for not writing sooner. The Father Rector left Philadelphia for Baltimore Friday morning but he did not leave until that night as he wished to see some friends in Tacony. On his way to Baltimore, the train broke down and he was several hours late, and couldn't say Mass until ten o'clock Saturday morning. He finds his late journey interesting reminiscing, the most memorable thing was that he became acquainted with McMaster, whom he long admired, but who was at the time sorely stricken with misfortunes. He thanks McMaster for his graciousness in showing him New York. He met McMaster's children and invokes God's blessing on them. He hopes that McMaster will soon come to Annapolis. He sends his respects to McMaster's children. A note is added by Father Augustine Freitag, C.S.S.R. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
