He compliments McMaster on the good that the Journal is doing for the cause by supporting the restoration of the legitimate monarchy in Spain. There is no longer a doubt of the success of those attempting the restoration. Their army of 30,000 men has advanced steadily in Catalonia and the South without meeting any serious reverses. He enumerates the equipment captured at Vich and Manresa. He describes the attack on Manresa on Feb. 4, where their troops had to undergo constant fire from the enemy and engage in hand to hand street fighting in order to gain the town after forcing a breach in the fortification. Among those killed was Captain Hugh Murray of the 6th Company of Zouaves. Kirkpatrick's secretary, Captain Glasse, an Englishman, was wounded. Although Murray's career in the Royal forces was brief, it was certainly brilliant. He came from Canada to join the forces and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. The corps of Zouaves number about 400 men, most of whom have seen service in the Pontifical Army, and it is to this body that foreigners are attacked. They are the advance guard for the liberation of the Holy Father and should have the sympathy of all Catholics. He will be glad to talk to McMaster after he sees the King. He then leaves for London. He hopes they can devise some plan whereby the Zouaves could become a permanent organization and increase its numbers. If McMaster reports an interest growing up in the U. S. in favor of Carlism, Kirkpatrick will have the committee send him news letters, as the London Committee is in almost daily communication with them and receives intelligence of all parts of the army. He asks to be addressed in care of Captain George J. T. Merry, 35 Warwick Road, West Brompton, S. W., London. He has asked that a copy of "Spain and Charles VII" be sent to McMaster. P. S.—He acknowledges the receipt of 2000 francs which has been used to supply new uniforms for the Zouaves. He hopes to raise a like amount in London to finish the job and asks that his friends in New York continue their help. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
