The Sisters state that they fear some misunderstanding has sprung up between their order and McMaster, and that he no longer considers them his friends as in the past. They do not know the reason for this, but earnestly hope that they can reinstate themselves in his good graces, and that he will not hold against the entire community any actions of the individuals. They hold themselves his friends and from no one but their superiors would they be happier to accept advice and suggestions. They report that their work in favor of free education for young ladies reduced by the war had gained converts for the Church. The charity the nuns have extended to these girls, added to the large debt, made some of the old sisters fearful, and ready to omit any outlay that could be avoided. To the regret of many of the active working members of the order, the advertisements of the Academy have been neglected. The sisters wish to advertise in the Journal, at least, and ask McMaster to send the schedule of rates, and with the consent of their superiors they will send the money in advance. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
