McSweeny congratulates Murray on his essay on temperance for the Ave Maria. He trusts Murray will not forget the favor he asked last Christmas when they met at St. Joseph's College in Dubuque. He has a certificate in Physiology and Anatomy. He intends completing his course, if he could but obtain a suitable position in New York. He is able to teach physical, mathematical or natural sciences. Also in classics, French, Italian. He prefers mental philosophy. English logics and metaphysics have been one of his classes here, In Rome where he graduated as Ph.D., he was not considered ignorant of this branch. He hopes Murray will obtain some position for him in some college adjacent to a good medical school in New York or Brooklyn and tell him the salary. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
