Corcoran, (Father) James A.:
(Overbrook, Pennsylvania)
to (James Alphonsus) McMaster:
(New York, New York)
In a letter marked "private" Corcoran informs McMaster that some young men (at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary) have agreed to say the daily prayer for the Spiritual welfare of the Indians. He feels Providence will soon punish both rulers and people for the injustices done the poor tribes. Since neither he nor the students wish to be known, he asks that the money be credited to "Teacher and fourteen students, Pennsylvania". He wonders what has become of our "parental" government, and refers to Grant as lord and master and perpetual dictator by the will of the majority of the American people. To this is added: a letter designed for publication, remitting $5.40 (for the Indian fund) from fifteen students who will say the Ave. It is signed "Teacher." To this is added a note in McMaster's handwriting, noting the letter to be from "The Very Rev(erend) James A. Corcoran, D.D., a man of very great learning—but not very active."

Robot, O.S.B., Dom Isidore, Prefect Apostolic:
Atoka, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory
to (James Alphonsus) McMaster:
New York, (New York)
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 ladies in Washington formed a society to give financial aid to the missions and chose Father (John B.) Brouillet as president and treasurer. He has been in correspondence with Brouillet and although he promised that Robot's mission was the chief one, he has sent only $75 and has not answered his letters for some time. This is not to be published. Some of his relatives in St. Louis knowing of the neglect have broken with Brouillet and the society. Today he writes to Abbe de la Pierre who has promised him two priests and a deacon. The fact that there is not a resident priest in Indian territory is a shame to the Church. He does not know how to express his gratitude to the readers of the Journal but he promises them 1, all the Friday prayers, 2, Mass every Friday, and 3, a daily rosary for their intentions. He does not believe that any bishops would take the direction of this work, but asks McMaster his opinion on the matter. The money is to be sent to the First National Bank of Denison, Texas. The great need of the mission is prayer. If McMaster finds some parts of this letter useful, he may use it in the Journal. He hopes that he will excuse the writing in French as he cannot write a long letter in English.
