Gibbons, James, Archbishop of Baltimore, Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1882 July 7

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-d

Scope and Contents

Archbishop Gibbons regrets that he was engaged in giving Confirmation in the Missions when McMaster called on him. McMaster's daughter, Helen, Sister Teresa of Jesus will undoubtedly persevere in her religious vocation if she inherits any of the strong faith and Scotch tenacity of her father. The pious project McMaster submitted to him is certain to excite the gratitude of the Carmelite Sisters. At first Gibbons was going to try to dissuade him from making the appeal because God will always provide for the Convent, but he sees no objection to it as long as his own name does not appear with it and as long as it looks like an act entirely instigated by McMaster himself. The sisters should not be represented as directly appealing for donations. He has just sent a contribution to the Carmelites of New Orleans, Louisiana . Soon he will see McMaster's good daughter. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
