He asks a favor knowing McFarland's kindness to the South and his diocese. The general distress of the country and his desire to do something for the Negroes compels him to have recourse to the generosity of the more fortunate districts of the North. He asks if McFarland would encourage his undertaking a collecting visit in the diocese soon after Easter. His plan would be to given a lecture at night in the principal churches and take up a collection. He hopes that McFarland will add this mercy to the many others. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
