He has a favor to ask of McFarland. McFarland knows of the work of the Paulists. They have endeavored to the best of their ability and within the last four years have had over 107,000 Communions in their missions. They have not received any expression of encouragement from the Holy See, which is the customary practice where new Communities are formed. He asks that McFarland speak to Cardinal Alexander Barnabo and if he speaks to the Holy Father about the missions in America he wishes him to speak of the Paulists also. McFarland has always been a good friend of theirs and they speak to him in full freedom. The Paulists are endeavoring to follow out that course that has seemed in the course of Divine Providence to conduce to the salvation of souls. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
