Scope and Contents

Father Peter Paul Fitzpatrick, S.J., died very suddenly, Dec. 10, 1886 of paralysis of the heart, and not of the fever of which he had been ill for two or three weeks. Sister Michael feels his death keenly, but is bearing up bravely. She gave Sister Gertrude some notes from which McMaster can make a notice of Father Fitzpatrick's death. Sister Michael would appreciate a kind letter from McMaster, since Father Fitzpatrick was so fond of him and prayed constantly for his recovery when he heard of McMaster's illness. Father Francis Smith, S.J., called, and spoke very highly of Father Fitzpatrick. The Mother is not much better, and they are making a novena in which Sister Gertrude asks McMaster to join. Enclosure: Two newspaper clippings— accounts of the death of Father Peter Paul Fitzpatrick, S.J. at Loyola College, Dec. 10, 1886. :: I-2-g A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
