Cusack Frances Clare, Sister Mary, Kenmare, Ireland, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1873 July 1
Scope and Contents
Sister M. Frances Clare has been advised to write to McMaster and explain to him the manner in which she was treated by an American publisher, Wm. Sadlier, and who defrauded the convent out of approximately 2,0001. through the sale of, "The Life of O'Connell". Sadlier cleverly yet legally tricked her out of this money and she asks McMaster if he would make an expose in his paper without mentioning any names. The worry and anxiety of this affair has caused her much ill health and almost caused her death. She is getting up a lottery in America to make up for the loss of her books in the Boston fire, and she asks McMaster to advertise it in his paper. To those who buy $20 worth of tickets she will give her picture. Prizes will range from 50 pounds to 200 pounds :: I-1-o L.by Sister M.M. 4pp. 8vo.
