Gress, William H.,Bishop of Savannah, Savannah, Georgia, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1873 June 2

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-1-o

Scope and Contents

He sends a check for $5.00 for McMaster's fund for the Martyr Pontiff and regrets that his poor purse cannot give more. He preached several days at a little station on the Georgia Central before the abandoned Catholics there. Their desire to hear Catholic sermons is admirable, but their ignorance of Catholic doctrine is awful. He was asked if it was true that the people worshiped the priests, the priests worshipped the bishops, and bishops adored the Pope. If McMaster could come to Savannah next winter and give one or more lectures, he would be guaranteed a fine audience. He sends regards to McMaster's family. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
