Weninger, S. J., Father Francis X., Cincinnati, Ohio, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1871 January 29

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-1-o

Scope and Contents

He asks why McMaster does not give notice to Weninger's missionary movements. He could understand this when giving missions to the German and French population, but now that he is on the Pacific Coast preaching to the English congregations from San Diego to Vancouver Island, he wonders at McMaster's lack of interest. The Catholic Sentinel and the Mirror had several articles about the men of those missions, but McMaster did not even make use of the article Weninger sent upon his return from the Oregon and Washington Territories. Weninger worked for 23 years to encourage missions among the Germans and has succeeded, since a German Province of Jesuits was established in Buffalo for that purpose. He does not mean to reproach McMaster, but to call his attention to the fact. He only asks that McMaster act according to his own best judgment and for the good of the souls. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
