Peter, Mrs. Sarah, Cincinnati, Ohio, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1871 March 13

Scope and Contents

McMaster has probably already received some copies of "The Romas News Letter" which she encloses. There are also enclosed two copies of the formation of an association to be called the League of St. Sebastian, which is worthy of McMaster's attention. If he has seen them he should pass them around for someone else's information. Never was the saying "When the Church is in danger any Christian should be an apostle" more applicable than now. The papers are sent to her by Mr. Sampson, an intimate friend, who is chairman of the organizations. He desires as much publicity for the movement as possible, and she asks McMaster to exercise his zeal and fidelity in the matter. It pains her that New York, St. Louis, and Cincinnati, have done so little manifesting of loyalty to the Holy See, when smaller towns of this country have so courageously done so. They are starting a movement to obtain the signatures of women which may make some amends for the apathy in high quarters. Many thousands have done so in other countries. They, too, shall send an expression of affection and steadfast loyalty to "St. Peter in chains," when they should send armed crusades to drive the bandits from sanctuaries they desecrate. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
