Issa received Seton's of April 25 and is grateful. When he had finished at Brooklyn and thought of going to take leave of St. Joseph's he was informed that the Archbishop of Philadelphia was to be gone for three weeks. So he hurried there and got his approval. Tuesday will be the soonest he can come to pay his respects. As for the Mass intentions, he can say them himself or, if Seton wants them sooner, he can telegraph the Patriarch thus turning it back into the funds of the mission.
