He received McMaster's letter and the enclosure yesterday evening. McMaster's letters mean much to him, for without anyone to hold council with, he would almost be inclined to think himself a fool. He is amply repaid if what he writes is beneficial and a place in McMaster's columns is his greatest banner. He appreciates the matter as does McMaster and thinks that the epithets heaped upon the Pope help to make the people think. He smiles as he thinks of the compliments which must be given to McMaster and himself. He thinks that there is faith in the States but sin gives rise to difference in God's mercies and prevents men from doing that which would rid them of sin. He sent McMaster a manuscript on Thursday and another will be sent next week. Permission is given to McMaster to make any changes that he thinks necessary, but he thinks that P. S. B. could write better if he had the time. He writes by inspiration and as he has no intercourse with men he has no external certitude. He regrets that Mary has not taken up his correspondence with him. He will continue his correspondence as he knows McMaster is too busy to answer. The Pope was the only man that stood by the Zouaves and even if the clergy didn't approve of everything, God will take care of everything when the time comes. He will see McMaster in July. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
