He requests a favor which McMaster had offered to do some eleven years before. When he went to Europe he was requested by Bishop Maurice St. Palais and Father John Mougin to purchase Stations of the Cross in France. He bought two sets but had to leave so instructions were left to have them sent to Louisville in the care of Father Bouchet. The customs officers refused to release the stations even on the sworn statement of Father M Bouchet that they were church goods. He enlists McMaster's help in securing their release from the customs house., enclosing a note of the consignee, Austin Baldwin. He wrote to Father Spalding, the only priest he knew in New York, but his letter was unanswered so it was presumed that he was out of the city. He states that if nothing can be done, then to secure the amount of the duty and write the consul in Europe so that this affair might be righted. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
