Scope and Contents

McMaster has undoubtedly received his letter from Frontarabie, which was written in haste to tell him that the Republic is dead and that Alphonsus is king. McMaster said he suffered in jail, that is too strong. His sheriff was Michael Scheverrice who had deceived him, and he came to see him twice, once to mock and again as his keeper. He now believes all the newspapers say of the Carlists . God could not return Don Carlos to the throne after his committing all the offenses of Ferdinand VII. The people have just learned of the fall of the Republic with great joy. He himself has arrived now with only 30 sous in his pocket. The money that McMaster sent was spent in the cafes of Bayonne, Hendaye, St. John de Luz and Biarritz. De Monieri asked for it and waited for the money but received none. He has written to his wife but the postal service is bad, although that in Spain was worse. He thanks McMaster for his many kindnesses. He hopes in time to go to Liverpool. :: I-2-a A.L.S.
