Murray has made many good-byes before leaving Wolf Island, Kingston, Cape Vincent and New York on the boat, Spain. His trip with the Bishop, Father Higgins, and Father Kealty was very enjoyable. McMaster is the person to whom he owes his thanks for the privilege of meeting Major Keily. His ocean trip is uneventful and the sea is very calm. Murray compares the ocean, the great work of God, to the Divina Apostolorum, which is a great work of man. He understands now why the ancients drew back when contemplating the unknown mysteries beyond the ocean, and why it would require a Cross-Bearer like Columbus to be the first to conquer it. The one dream of Columbus was to give back to the Spouse of Christ the Sepulchre of the Lord but he died with that hope unfilled. He bequeathed to the land he discovered, the love of the Holy Church and of San Salvador. The sign of the Cross, the mark of this great hero now stands high over the Standard of Castile… pp. 3-4-5-6- missing from letter…Our enemies are so impudent and self assertive that we Catholics, in our professed humility and supernatural objection do not make the sign of the Cross before them. The old obelisk of Egyptian granite, baptized and upholding the Cross says, "Behold the Cross of the Lord", and the Popes, each one the Vicar of Christ enable Him to continue His presence on earth by His speaking through them. The black chap, the printer's devil, has made a blunder by crediting Leo IX for the Papal bull issued against classicism, when in reality it was Leo X. The new in the Cove of Cork was good news. He had no idea what he could expect but was prepared for everything and had his line of retreat mapped out. It is not agreeable to plan a retreat but there is no sure advance without it. The Papal Zouaves are opening the way to Rome and are gaining that practice which brings victory. Murray is glad to be on that side of the Atlantic. One night, long before reaching the glorious battlefield at Mentana he had a dream in which he imagined himself still in Canada listening to a bugle call. He imagined he was no longer in Canada.
