Schwarz thanks McMaster for the check for $56.22. McMaster has already given him $5. for Masses since he remembers the occasion of the donation very clearly. The Masses were said on the five days following McMaster's visit, at which time McMaster also left $5. for any extra things which his son Alphonsus McMaster might need. Schwarz is certain that the donation has been made because an entry for it has been entered on the books of the institution. He will see McMaster in New York on the Monday after Christmas. He would schedule this meeting for Christmas day but McMaster already has made previous committments in Ilchester, Maryland for that day. Alphonsus is well and is working hard at his studies. P.S. The check was cashed without the slightest difficulty. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
