He writes to McMaster, though he has never met him personally, to thank him for his exceedingly complimentary notice in the Freeman's Journal. He says that he not only agrees with McMaster's politics, but with his religious views, and feels that McMaster, more than any other human instrumentality has been responsible for this. He will in a short time make a public profession of his faith. For five years, since college he has been trying to settle the religious question and the Freeman's Journal has helped him incalculably in answering objections and removing doubt. He feels that as McMaster was himself a convert, he can appreciate the writer's feelings in discovering the true church. He mentions that two friends are interested in the Church. He encloses a picture of himself in exchange for one of McMaster. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
