Although she realizes the amount of work necessary to edit the Freeman, she takes the liberty to ask a favor of McMaster. Since the Freeman is the common property of Catholics, its editor must share the same burdens of all leaders in a great cause. Last November Father Henry Giesen told her that candles should be blessed on Holy Thursday in preparation for the "dark days." As it is impossible to buy pure wax candles in her community, she asks that McMaster buy enough for five families and have them blessed on Holy Thursday. He should ship them express C.O.D., as she does not know how much money to send him. The Freeman reaches her every Saturday through their bookseller. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
