Russell, Father James J., Columbia, Pennsylvania, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1872 February 15

Scope and Contents

He asks that the Journal be canceled for the club raised last year by Richard Foley, since Foley declines to raise another club. Perhaps it is because McMaster did not mention Foley's work in the Journal. It may not be too late, if McMaster thinks it worth the trouble. Russell asks if his paper cannot be sent earlier in the week, as formerly. He will continue to take the paper, and asks also for the bound volumes of the Journal beginning with the proceedings of "Council of the Vatican." Last August, after reading McMaster's opinions of the books, he went to New York and ordered O'Shea's series of Progressive Readers. He was pleased with all except the Fifth Reader, and asks McMaster's opinion on some passages of Evangeline, beginning on page 174. Pages 262, 263 and 264 seem somewhat difficult for a Sister to explain to a class of children. He intends to write to O'Shea, but if it seems good to McMaster, he asks that McMaster speak to O'Shea. He asks that McMaster say something in next week's paper about what the Holy Father has said in regard to Public Schools, giving his exact words about the liberal Catholics who send their children to them. He had difficulty keeping up the parochial school. Has McMaster heard from the "authority competent to decide" about Father Edward Mc Glyn and the schools? :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
