Fayet, (Father) J(oseph):
San Mig(uel), (New Mexico)
to Archbishop (John Baptist Purcell):
(Cincinnati, Ohio)
Fayet is a parish priest of San Miguel, a large congregation with many missions, composed mainly of Mexicans. Many American families settled in the neighborhood. Fayet needs Sisters of Charity badly to teach in the school, board him, take care of the altar. In return, Fayet will secure them a house with service and $800 per year. Extras, as music lessons, embroidering, etc. will be for themselves. Fayet also wishes them to take care of the choir and form the young girls. Lamy will give testimonials proving that what Fayet promises the Sisters, he will keep. Fayet has already written to the Sisters of Charity, but knows that this is left to Purcell to decide, thus Fayet's boldness in begging Lamy to grant this favor. Archbishop J(ohn) B(aptist) Lamy adds a note that he would be glad, if the Sisters would establish a school in this parish of Father Fayet's. (At the head of this letter is an unsigned note): "answered August 22nd: They have not enough for previous calls".

(McMaster, James Alphonsus):

to (John Al)phons(us McMaster):
(Rio de Janiero, Brazil)
He is suffering from a kind of hay fever, which is perplexing but not dangerous. He had thought Sister St. John (McMaster, D.C.) was in retreat, but she was not. Frank (Maurice Francis Egan) left two weeks ago on his vacation, and McMaster encloses here a characteristic, undated evaporation from him. He thinks he misses John more than his father does, but he does not; besides, he has his own baby to think of. McMaster does not know if this letter will reach John. It goes by the steamer Ben Vento, which is chartered for this trip by John Rosche (?). If is should reach him before he leaves Rio (de Janiero), he should note the following instructions carefully. (1) Put Brazilian postage stamps on his letters, (2) watch for steamers from Rio to New York, and send a few lines by every possible mail. (3) McMaster includes a letter which may be useful to John in case he is ill. It assures Captain McLean of the Bark Templar that such expense as may be incurred will be refunded on presentation of the letter to McMaster, C. Morton Stewart, or John D. Keiley. John should show this letter (sheet 3) to Captain McLean now. It gave McMaster great solicitude to read that yellow fever and small pox were prevalent in Rio in June. He urges John to say earnest prayers, and assures him many are being said for him. He is so dizzy that he cannot go on writing more.

Enclosure: A letter dated August 7, 1883, explaining that McMaster, out of haste, failed to furnish his son, John A. McMaster, with a letter of credit.

McMaster, in case of illness or other emergency, money to the amount of one hundred pounds sterling, which will be refunded by himself (James Alphonsus McMaster) or by John D. Keiley.

(Alphonse McMaster) writes his sister, Sister St. John (McMaster. The ship arrived outside the bay on Sunday night where the wind failed them. It took a long time to get the chain cable ready and to furl the sails. The next morning the anchor was hoisted. On Aug. 15, the Feast of the Assumption, he went ashore, attended Mass, and then saw a few sights with a young fellow who came as a passenger. It is very strange to seek direction around the city in English and not to meet anyone who understands you. He wishes this letter to be included in the 6 A.M. mail and so concludes.

Muir saw Brother Stanislaus about two weeks ago. A friend from England sent her a twig from the grave of Wordsworth, but she doesn't like Wordsworth. She left home to find work because she wanted to see how people acted and to employ her thoughts. She likes to talk to Hudson, because silent brooding is called one of the mental diseases of isolated mountains.

The Sisters were glad to hear of his arrival and Mother (Louise of St. John the Evangelist) will continue the community prayers for him. The nuns were at their matins when the telegram arrived but the boy's persistence in knocking at the locked gate finally brought results. Her own prayers in thanksgiving and those of the nuns petitioning his safety make her sure that Our Lady will protect him.

The water has not yet arrived but it will be taken faithfully. She will answer Gertrude's letter before school starts on Sept. 10. Things are unsettled now at the Convent. Mother (Mary Walburga) is delayed coming home; Sisters are being sent to the West; the Order is waiting for news from England on appointments of superiors; and Sisters are being changed from house to house. She asks her father to tell Mr. Onahan that four Sisters are going to Lincoln, (Nebraska) on Wednesday and to ask him to meet them in Chicago where they have to change trains. Mother Annunziato [Annunciata?], Mother St. Rita, and Srs. M. Cecelia and Agnes are going to Lincoln. Mother M. Walburga will not return until these nuns reach Lincoln, and will probably miss St. Teresa's feast day. Since she does not write Helen (McMaster), (Sister Teresa of Jesus) very often, she sent her a long closely written letter the previous week. Mother Ignatius and the others are very good to her so her health is sure to be better by Christmas.

(McMaster), Alphonsus Jack:
Rio (de) Janiero, (Brazil)
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
(New York, New York)
Alphonsus has not yet been to the Hospital of Santo Bento since he had to work aboard ship and as yet he has found no church where English is spoken. He will go to Confession at the first opportunity offered him. His failure to do so already is not due to any cooling of his religious fervor so that fear need not worry his father. He is anxious to go the the Sacraments, not because he has sinned but because he wishes to be strengthened against temptation. He likes sea life but needs a trip around the "Horn" or the "(Cape of) Good Hope" where he would have a taste of rough weather. On the way up there was nothing but a series of calms and light winds. The Captain spoke of going to New Orleans and waiting there for orders and after that the ship may go to Mobile, (Alabama), but none of this is certain.

Smith, J. Francis:
Brinker Institute,
Denver, Colorado
to James F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He was pleased that Edwards called on his mother. Prof. (A. C.) Unsworth has been in Denver all summer engaged on one of the papers. Father J(ohn) Zahm (C.S.C.) and Bro. Stanislaus C.S.C. are in Denver. Stanislaus has done considerable writing for the papers since he came and is quite popular with the Denver people. Smith has not decided what to do this winter. His prospects for studying in Italy are no brighter. Perhaps Edwards knows people who would like copies of the old masters who would be willing to pay his board in Rome. He is acquiring interests in copper, silver and iron mines.
