While in Baltimore their Father Provincial warned the fathers against a certain Roman Monsignor, who lately stopped with the Franciscans in New York and whom McMaster spoke of in a laudatory way in the Freeman. Since being put on their guard, neither the Redemptorists or Jesuits have been visited by this man. Formerly a confessor of the Duke of Maelena, the man was made a canon in Hungary. After an Archbishop in the United States was cautioned against the man he went to Canada. McMaster should not burn his fingers again by handling him. McMaster has taken the poison out of Father Bolderini's translation. Giesen hopes St. Alphonsus will reward him for it. He begins his retreat Sept. 8 and will leave Annapolis about Sept. 24 for a mission in Cairo. He asks that O'Shea send a copy of St. Alphonsus' life as soon as it comes out. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
