Kiernan, J , New York, New York, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1860s

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-e

Scope and Contents

Kiernan proposes changes when the publication of the Journal is resumed. He 1 believes there is nothing to be gained by continuing. The Appeal; 2 believes the size, shape, and price of the Appeal are not accepable to subscribers; 3 proposes that the Journal return to the 26 X 36 size it had in 1848, thereby reducing the price of paper to one-half, or to $3.00 per ream; 4 proposes that the price be $2.00 per year to mail subscribers, with inducements to clubs, $2.00 in advance to city subscribers and $2.50 at the end of the year, with single copies at $.04 each; 5 desires to have McMaster's opinion on these, and also wants to know whether to continue numbering the copies or to begin again with No. 1, reducing the vignette to suit the size. He believes his abilities to be overrated, and does not promise to remain with the Journal after McMaster's liberation. He therefore doubts the wisdom of continuing to place his name as publisher. :: I-2-e A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
