Scope and Contents

Genin sends McMaster the letter he has written to Miss E. B. Edes and asks him to send it on if he believes it is the proper kind. He has forwarded an account of his western trip and also a copy of a document signed at Woody Mountains regarding the action of Father J.C. Imoda S.J. toward himself. Instead of sending a copy he has sent one of the two originals and asks McMaster to keep it safe as he may need it again. The other originals has been sent to Bishop James O'Connor, Vicar-Apostolic of Nebraska for his information. He sends the document to inform McMaster of the Continual hard fight he has had to sustain himself. In regards to the Benedictines of standing Rock, you know that Abbot Martin Marty, O.S.B ., was in first with Father J.B. Brouillet, but he still feels angry. Brouillet keeps sending him priests cast off by Bishops in the East and Marty, in locating them at Indian agencies may ruin the whole of the Indian Missions. McMaster would do them a great favor if he could rid them from the Indian Bureau . Bishop Thomas Grace of St. Paul Diocese did not favor his public exposure at first but now, he and Bishop John Ireland are for you. Bishop Rupert Siedenbush, Vicar-Apostolic of Northern Minnesota also favors you. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
