Identifier: CMMA I-2-a

Scope and Contents

She takes the liberty of asking a favor of McMaster. One of her friends is married to a young man who has been suffering from chills and fevers from which his physician says he will never recover unless he moves to a colder climate. The young man is very well educated, having obtained his M.A. degree from Fordham and is recognized as one of the best salesmen and clerks in Norfolk. He has been working in a dry goods store run by his brother and she asks if McMaster knows of a position in this line of work for which the young man could apply. He has a wife and one child and is an earnest, practical Catholic. Her father would have written to McMaster but he is writing to Major Keiley to interest him in the case and asked Ellen to do it instead, as he knows McMaster is always ready to help if it is his power. A very dear friend of hers has been greatly helped by the Lourdes water McMaster sent. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
