In a letter marked "private" Corcoran informs McMaster that some young men at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary have agreed to say the daily prayer for the Spiritual welfare of the Indians. He feels Providence will soon punish both rulers and people for the injustices done the poor tribes. Since neither he nor the students wish to be known, he asks that the money be credited to "Teacher and fourteen students, Pennsylvania". He wonders what has become of our "parental" government, and refers to Grant as lord and master and perpetual dictator by the will of the majority of the American people. To this is added: a letter designed for publication, remitting $5.40 for the Indian fund from fifteen students who will say the Ave. It is signed "Teacher." To this is added a note in McMaster's handwriting, noting the letter to be from "The Very Reverend James A. Corcoran, D.D., a man of very great learning—but not very active." :: I-2-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
