Scope and Contents

As editor of the Alabama Beacon, he will use the first, opportunity to publish a prospectus of the Freeman's Journal. He has, come in contact with the paper through Mr. B _____ O'Donnell and, has formed a most favorable opinion of McMaster's independent, manner in advocating sound constitutional principles and defending the, South against the slanders of her enemies. As soon as regular mail, facilities are obtained, he shall forward his paper regularly, and shall, be pleased to have McMaster's in exchange. The bearer of the letter,, Mr. B _____ D. Stoeklon, is going to buy printing paper for Haney, and, he would be grateful if McMaster would advise Stoeklon where to buy, first rate paper at moderate prices. He likes the paper the Freeman's, Journal is printed on and would appreciate McMaster directing, Stoeklon to those mills, or handling the matter himself. He wishes to get, the advance of the current market price, although paper is higher than, before the war. He also would like for McMaster to help him secure a, printer, who must be a dependable, sober man of good habits and a, good worker. His printer is leaving Jan. 1 and Haney would like to, secure another for a salary of $65 per month, the sum he is now paying, his printer. Good printers are hard to find in the South, and he would, appreciate McMaster's help. He would rather have a man without a, family, since the man could live cheaper. He would appreciate a reply, to Stoeklon. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
