He was delayed a week in London due to a severe cold contracted at sea. Today he had an interview with the Vicomte de Barres and tomorrow he goes before the Carlist committee. As he has overdrawn his account he is unable to buy his uniform so be asks McMaster for the money saying that he will refund it or in the event he should die McMaster could have a claim against his estate due him from his grandfather. He had an offer as a correspondent of a London Journal but he declined it. Before the Civil War he prepared for West Point but being a southerner his father withdrew him from the Army. He has had some mathematics and engineering so he is qualified to be an artilleryman. While at Hendaya opposite Irun he saw the king with several aides, and he realizes that the capture of Irun, Behobia, and Fontaralice are of great importance to the Carlists. The atrocities of the Republican free corps are becoming greater every day and there are many Prussians in their ranks. Monday, Nov. 9, 1874, his application was forwarded to Estella and the Carlist committee favorably recommended me. He greatly desires a uniform and requested McMaster to send the draft to the order of the Vicomte de Barres as he will be in Spain. He also wishes the prayers of McMaster and his friends and God's grace. He enclosed a promise to pay for value received. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo. 1p. 32mo.
