Identifier: CMMA I-1-n

Scope and Contents

Father Driessen expresses pleasure that McMaster's son is recovering, and hopes that God would spare him long years of life; to see his son growing to fill his place. In England the clergy have not as much liberty to speak their minds as in America. Rome wants parishes but because the timid English clergy fear to displease their zealous prelates new parishes cannot be started. The writer is a missionary who has 142 families scattered over 25 square miles. He thanks McMaster for his valuable paper and the pleasure he derives from it. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
