Because the American steamer left two days earlier, Father Schneider received no mail at this date. Father Braak asked him if he received the Journal, but the answer was negative. As there is no Catholic newspaper among the islands, a request is made for ten copies of the Journal to be sent to Miss Joanna Lindsay, Catholic Bookstore, St. Thomas, W.I., payment to be made by having the Father Provincial of the Redemptorists send as many intentions as would make up the bill, or if that failed, the next mail would bring a settlement. Some back numbers and books were asked for, and he hopes for news concerning the opening of the Church and Monastery at Fifty Avenue. Hot weather is at this time enveloping the island, and the only news from there is that America is going to take San Domingo. In the papers of James Alphonsus McMaster :: I-1-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
