John's letter came too late to catch the express or to register a letter, and McMaster does not care to send $25.00 unregistered. He sends John a check for $30.00 not, and he will send the $25.00 tomorrow. If Mr. Fitzwilliam cannot let John have money on the check, he should call on Father C.J. Giesen, who will help him. McMaster warns John not to endorse the check until he is ready to cash it, and if he is not in urgent need he should not cash it at all. John should not waste time in New Orleans, since it is very expensive to stay there at present, but after seeing what is worth while, he should leave. Sunday is the feast of the Patronage of St. Joseph, which John is asked to observe. McMaster asks John to keep him or the office posted as to where a letter can reach him. He is asked especially to tell him where he can be reached on April 30, 1885. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
