She is sending $3.00 for a year's subscription to the Journal, and asks that it and the 1871 back numbers be sent to Mrs. Frank Drexel of Philadelphia. She has been trying to find subscribers, but the Citizen and the Irish American have been in the field before her and few people can afford two papers. Father Byrne was disappointed at not having seen McMaster, but he had been summoned by the Bishop. He is grateful for McMaster's appreciation of his church, and McMaster's article will be kept to use against the critics of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Miss Cassidy met an Irish priest from Dublin, Father Hogan, who reports that during the sitting of the Council every number of the Freeman was read eagerly because of its advocating an immediate definition of the Papal Infallibility dogma. She asks McMaster to tell Mrs. McMaster that if she ever gets to New York she looks forward to sitting at the McMaster fireside, where she and McMaster can discuss Bishop Butler, regarding whom she is still heterodox. She sends regards from her Mother and Mr. Jenks, who, together with her, desire they could do more for the Freeman. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
