"One who sees how things are going", Berlin, Germany, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1870?

Identifier: CMMA I-1-m

Scope and Contents

It appears to the writer that, judging from all the extracts from the Freeman he has seen, McMaster does not understand the state of affairs in Germany. All the Protestants in Prussia and the American residents in Berlin, who are almost all Yankee Presbyterians, are in favor of destroying Catholic France, and the Catholic papers are crying out against France because she was no longer able to help the Pope. Meanwhile Catholics in the German army are fighting to put down Catholic France. If the priests would tell them what they are doing, a revolution might be caused in the army, which would enable France to save herself. The writer refers McMaster to the American Protestant papers, which are widely distributed in Berlin. Inasmuch as the majority of the German army is Catholic, he does not understand why the Catholics have not acted. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
