Egan, Maurice Francis: Notre Dame, Indiana to Father Joseph H. McMahon: New York, New York, 1892 July 31

It is useless to attempt to explain how wretched he is to have caused so much inconvenience. He has delayed answers in the hope that he might arrange matters at the last moment. He has a contract to lecture twelve times there. There are one hundred sisters at St. Mary's. They saw his name on the circular. The lecturer on philosophy was given the present week and that put Egan back another week. As the school dissolves the eighth the directress insists that he must stay. He wrote to (George) Lathrop but the Sisters are not to blame. It is possible that McMahon may not need him with the splendid array of genius. He hopes that McMahon will think of him kindly. :: I-1-j - A.L.S. - 3pp. - 12mo. - {1}
