Scope and Contents He sent in August some documents to McMaster concerning the favors granted by the Holy See to the Association and to the Benedictine monastry, which McMaster has reproduced in the Journal.

Scope and Contents McMaster's letter of Jan. 28 reached him at the Sacred Heart Mission P.O. He had been seeking a lawyer. He hesitated to write fearing to add to McMaster's work in his poor health. He encloses a copy of the petition that a lawyer, member of the House of Representatives in Texas, drew up for him relative to the donation by the Indians of a section of land to the Mission. The lawyer advised him to add the document of the previous Indian donation. He does not have a map and asks if one is...

There is a slight disagreement between the figures of this and the January acknowledgment which was made from a mistaken memory and will correct this in his next acknowledgment.

He encloses on the other pages a statement of the accounts of the money sent to Robot, dated Oberlin, Indian...

Scope and Contents The enclosed piece was received before he started on a journey to distant points and he has not had time to copy it. Robot is very happy that he has to blessing of the Holy Father on the work of the Association.

And while this may be a violation of the diplomacy, Robot was never a diplomat and he feels that the blessing of the Holy Father and encouragement is really for McMaster,...

Scope and Contents McMaster knows the reason for his delay. He had just started on a long visit when McMaster's appeal came. On his return his only companion took sick, and he himself followed with a fever. He is unable to express properly his gratitude, but they will regard him as their first friend and benefactor in Indian territory. He has not the time now to write a letter on the condition of the diocese, but he will give a few facts on their financial condition. McMaster knows that last year some...

Scope and Contents While McMaster thought he was sick, he had been camping in the prairies. He has spent 4 weeks among the Pottowatomies, 65 miles from Atoka, to begin a residence and a church. The Indians are Catholic for the most part and more are coming from Kansas. They have made him an offer in the desire to have a mission.

Scope and Contents Robot sends McMaster the document he promised him in his last letter. The last receipt of Jan. 19, 1878, is made from McMaster's letter, since he sent the certificate to the bank.

In the event that McMaster wants to use the...

Scope and Contents Robot says that McMaster's letter of Dec. 26, which included a certificate arrived only on Jan. 14, just the night before he left for an apostolic visitation.
