He is much obliged for McMaster's favor of November 13, 1873, and, though fully understanding McMaster's financial affairs he is sorry he can do nothing to spread the circulation of the Freeman since his neighborhood is all German. Besides, even if he could get more Freeman readers he would feel that the readers would benefit more than McMaster. He is thankful for the way the advertisement was run, and will send $140. from Evansville Indiana, requesting that the advertisement be kept six weeks longer. He also sends receipts for the donations. Abbot Marty will say five Masses for McMaster, beginning the first Sunday of Advent; moreover, he should like to learn which of the two St. Jameses is McMaster's, and what the "A" stands for, since he intends to remember McMaster on his feastdays. He wishes McMaster a happy New Ecclesiastical Year. P.S. He sends the enclosed receipt? as a specimen of their printing shop, and sends the receipts to the other two donors. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
