Muller was very glad to hear from McMaster. He thought he had displeased McMaster in some way but sees from the letter that this was a false impression. He is most pleased that Mary has taken the vows. She took her vows on the day upon which Muller said his first Mass 27 years ago, and had he known of it sooner he would certainly have dedicated his Mass for her intentions. Muller is taking the place of the Father Provincial and the Father Rector who was left New York on the last Wednesday bound for Rome. Most of the priests are absent in English and German missions but as soon as a sufficient number returns to the house he will attempt to take the trip to New York which he has had to postpone for so long. Both himself and McMaster are now on the down-side of the Rocky Mountains of this life and are soon expecting to reach the Pacific Ocean of Eternity. Muller fears an unpleasant detention in the custom house. He asks that the enclosed lines be forwarded to little St. John. P. S. Bishop Peter Joseph Baltes of Alton, Illinois has effected a divorce of many of the best women from their Husband, by taking the Blessed Sacrament out of their chapels. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
