Cassidy, Mary A., Camden, New Jersey, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1884 Last Sunday

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-e

Scope and Contents

She asks McMaster to hand the enclosed note to his book-keeper, who will reply to it. She thinks that she has been forgetful of her duties as a business woman this winter. She is feeling better than she has done for years, although she is still very thin, for Dr. Walsh, the brother of Maurice Francis Egan's friend, Henry C. Walsh, discovered wherein her physical peccancy lay and provided remedies. The children moved to St. Michel Thursday, and she joins them there Tuesday. They were very kind to her during her illness. She looks forward to seeing McMaster at St. Michel, but warns him to come when she is there, since she spends Saturdays and Sundays in Camden. She will write Sister Gertrude to give detailed information concerning the prosperour condition of the Indian Schools, but will leave that topic to be discussed with McMaster. She looks forward to a visit with him. He, and she, her sister and her brother can have tea or late dinner together, and afterwards in Mr. Jenk's study—"The Growlery"—he can smoke cigars and talk, while they gather dicta with which to clinch future arguments. She describes an ideal visit, but she little thought long ago when she heard his paper being read at Mr. Elie Barrot's in Norfolk, that she would be writing him some day. She asks him to remember in his prayers a special intention of hers which, now that Mr. Jenks is a Catholic, is nearer to her heart than anything "earthly", since it concerns the soul of a suffering Catholic. :: I-2-e A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
