Because McMaster is old and hurried, he did not write to John at Memphis, Tennessee. He urges John to see all he wants to see and not to hurry, for summer is a dull time in New York unless John has some plan for spending the months until September. He hopes that, even while travelling, John will keep up the love of God and His Blessed Mother, and that daily he reads a little from some book of devotion. John should not be offended at his reminding him of this, for he himself is glad when anyone brings these things to him. Either of them may die any day, and the grand thing is that they may meet, a united family in Heaven. He again urges John to take his time travelling, and looks forward to the end of the journey, when he can help prepare John for the serious work God has appointed for him. John should not forget to say his beads; if he omits them one day he should say them twice the next. This should be a rule for his whole life. He encloses a letter to John that he opened by mistake. Sister Teresa McMaster, D.C. is suffering much; Sister St. John McMaster, S.R.C.J. is better. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
