McMaster's letter was discouraging, but Toner knows it comes from a true friend. He is grateful for the advice, but must go on with the lecture, even though it be a failure. He will go to Philadelphia and give it there. Bishop James F. Wood will not refuse after he has given it in New York. He has written to Father William Quinn, Fathers Mooney, Curran, etc. He thinks they will give him a favorable notice at Mass tomorrow. Several of his congregation have friends in the city who are working hard for the lecture. He could not go to Philadelphia if he disappointed the people in New York. He can never repay McMaster for his splendid notice in the Journal. He has telegraphed to McMaster to put a notice in the Herald and World and Sun. He will call at McMaster's office next week. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
