McMaster's letter of Jan. 28 reached him at the Sacred Heart Mission P.O. He had been seeking a lawyer. He hesitated to write fearing to add to McMaster's work in his poor health. He encloses a copy of the petition that a lawyer, member of the House of Representatives in Texas, drew up for him relative to the donation by the Indians of a section of land to the Mission. The lawyer advised him to add the document of the previous Indian donation. He does not have a map and asks if one is necessary. Persecutions have not been spared him but there the authors of them are despised. One of them was an ex-Jesuit priest who had become a Baptist and had acted scandalously with an Englishman, an ex-novice of the Christian Brothers. Robot received a certificate of deposits for $990 on a New York Bank. All the Masses will be said according to McMaster's expressed intentions. He is not dismayed. He went into the Indian Country to fight the devil. His strength is in the Lord and he has felt consolation now more than ever before. Enclosure not present :: I-2-c A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
