Father H.E. Brandts, Vicar General of Covington, Kentucky asks McMaster to do him the favor of giving him the name of the best steamer leaving New York for Holland around August 2. He is going to God's noblest kingdom under William the Third, of Orange. He is meeting his nephews in Holland and wants particulars as soon as possible. The 26th of July will be the 25th anniversary of his ordination and on that day he will leave for New York where he hopes to see McMaster. When Thornbury interviewed him, Brandts read to him from a pamphlet containing the decrees of a recent council of Bishops, and condemnations of the Freeman's Journal and The Irish World . Brandts and Father J.W. Smith of Covington send their regards. He sends a copy of the pamphlet he refers to. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
