Rohan could have written just after his visit to Brooklyn, and thanked McMaster for the picture of their esteemed friend but he delayed it. He has copied the poem he sent McMaster in order that it may be used in some way. The immortal poem "Conquered Banner" by the unknown author Maria, was found by Rohan in an obscure Selma Maine newspaper, and he sent it to McMaster for publication. McMaster must have a good reason for not publishing it so ... Rohan must not feel hurt. Father M. O'Keefe and his parents are pleased to have his picture. He wishes McMaster could persuade the Chevalier to send a picture of himself. All the pictures he has are confederates, made since the war. His Eminence Cardinal McCloskey hangs beside McMaster. He invites McMaster to Norfolk. The mother of their friend Miss Cassidy has been ill lately. He imagines that the woman whom the Freeman's Journal mentioned as giving Father McCullum a cameo of our Holy Father was Helen Keiley. His sister Mary has written some stories of the saints for children, in alphabet form but he will not take up McMaster's time by sending them to him. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12 mo.
