McMaster has received John's letter from Cincinnati, and is glad he is to see John so soon. He was in Baltimore on July 16, and was pall bearer for the Mother Sub-prioress. Sister Teresa McMaster, D.C. is much better, and so is Sister St. John McMaster, S.H.C.J., whom, he hopes, John will see. McMaster does not know what plans the Keiley boys have for August, but thinks they have none. He will write on two separate slips memoranda of what he wishes John to attend to at Grafton, Pennsylvania, and at Fittsburgh. McMaster will not be surprised, however, if John finds Mr. Doonan and Mr. McGraw absent. If they are absent he need not stay in Grafton long. He does not think John careless for dropping the letter, for that could happen to any one. He will try to write John again at Pittsburgh. He hopes that John though outwardly altered, is inwardly unchanged. P.S. McMaster gives the address of Dr. Oldshue, and warns John to be gentle with him, for he is a timorous old man. He instructs John to tell him that McMaster's daughters all thanked him on coming of age, and that John expects to do so on his next birthday. John should ask Dr. Oldshue about the investment of John's share of property receipts, and if it can be had after May 2, 1887. McMaster suggests friends John can call on in Pittsburgh, and tells where they can be found. A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo. With this is included:
