McMaster, James Alphonsus, New York, New York, to John Alphonsus McMaster, Plaquemine, Louisiana, 1886 May 26
Scope and Contents
McMaster sends John two letters that have been waiting for him. He had hoped to write to John in San Antonio, Texas, and regrets John did not find it possible to have stayed a few days. John went through Texas very rapidly, and succeeded in sending $50.00 twice. McMaster was surprised at this, since he expected to have to send John money. John should not travel too fast, and should see what he wishes to see, since he may never have the opportunity. He asks if Sister Gertrude McMaster, D.C. wrote to John of Mrs. Sneeringer, who died an edifying death Good Friday afternoon. Sister Teresa McMaster, D.C. had more trouble with her stomach. It seems God's will that she should suffer much. The Keiley's always ask about John, and "Maurice" Francis Egan? received John's letter. McMaster sends his letter in care Mrs. Thomas L. Grace, to whom John should give his regards. He intends writing John again at Natchez or Vicksburg, Mississippi. Because of east winds McMaster has been suffering from colds in the head. John has been nice about writing letters frequently. McMaster hopes John can go to Communion on the Feast of the Ascension. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
