Hecker regrets that McFarland's request has been made so recently since the list of missions already accepted runs far into the spring. He will place the application on the list for next season. His apology for not answering earlier is that he has just returned from the west where he gave two courses of lectures to Protestants. His audience was large. Recent events have made a silent but great change in the minds of their people in regard to the holy faith. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
