Fink, Lewis M., Bishop of Eucarpia, Leavenworth, Kansas, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1871 August 23

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-1-o

Scope and Contents

He received McMaster's two letters with money orders and thanks him for both, particularly for the Freeman. He was sorry to hear of Mrs. McMaster's death and will continue saying Masses for the repose of her soul. The death of the Mother is the greatest loss children can meet with in their lives. McMaster need not be afraid, because she was a privileged soul. Yet prayers ought to be said for her and he imagines a large number of Masses will be offered in her name. He remembers when McMaster had him put her name on the 100 years' Mass Album. He knows the Blessed Virgin and St. Benedict, towards whom McMaster has so great a devotion, will intercede for her. McMaster will certainly not be the least on the long list of the benefactors of the Benedictines . P.S. He distributed most of the little fortunes McMaster sent and so far everyone has promised to comply with the request. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
