Their father had a letter from John, just as he was leaving Memphis; She is sorry she did not tell him to look up Marie Larned, now Mrs. Nutall, while there. She wonders if her last two letters reached him, and urges him to write to her if he can. His affairs will always be of concern to her, and she wonders when they will see him again. She is glad he is enjoying his trip, and hopes he writes his father. Sister Teresa McMaster, D.C. is writing herself. Gertrude urges him to pray, and to trust in God, and reminds him of the late Dr. McManus, who had a beatitude for a motto. She has been serious in a birthday letter, but she feels much concern for him, and hopes he has God's blessing. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
