McMaster does not know if John received the letter he sent to Toledo, Ohio, but hopes he will get this one. While John is in Pittsburgh, he should call at the Redemptorist Convent at St. Philomena's Church. Father Michael Muller C.SS.R., the Rector is there and John knows how much he cares for him. McMaster thinks Father C. Rossenbauer, C.SS.R is there too. John is asked to go to Communion on Dec. 8., at this church, were his mother loved to go. John might also call on old Doctor Lincoln Oldshue, who probably still lives on Grant Street opposite the Cathedral. He is John's acting local guardian, and invested $4,370.00 for him last year in a mortgage given by the Pittsburgh Orphan Asylum. John might ask him about the interest, and payment of the money, and he might even, if he has time, see that the mortgage is all right, but he should be very polite to the old man, who has shaking palsy and is very sensitive. John J. Gallagher is having a fearful time with sickness in his family. McMaster asks if John plans to see his sisters before he gets home. At the Convent of the Holy Child, Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania they do not receive visitors during Advent, but would make an exception for John. Sister Teresa McMaster, D.C. has been ill again. McMaster hopes for John's safe return. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
