Thorpe, Father Thomas P., Cleveland, Ohio, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1873 December 4
Scope and Contents
He asks McMaster what became of the subscription list opened some time ago in the Journal for the benefit of the Crusaders. He had desired to give something but was stricken with typhoid fever and he looked in vain while convalescing for mention in the Journal of "St. Michael's Association for the Aid of the Crusades." He is in sympathy with the cause of Don Carlos and his army. He is indignant at the shameful conduct of some wretches calling themselves sons of Ireland at Major Leadly's address in Cork. He thinks that the appeal is being liberally defended but is kept in silence for the sake of prudence. He asks McMaster to give the enclosed ten dollars to the treasurer of the Crusaders, but wishes his name to be withheld. Friend Lamb is doing well but he has not been able to help him much the past few weeks. The annual election of the board will take place in January and as the Liberal Catholics are in the minority he expects little trouble from them. They have assured an Irish National Magazine which is redolent of heresy and bad morals but he predicts a short life for it. He remembers McMaster at Mass and asks McMaster's prayers. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 12mo. 4pp.
