McMaster has heard that the interest of the funds laid aside suffices for the maintenance of the American lamp before the sanctuary of le Paray le Monial. He has in his hand already an offering of 1200 francs or more from subscribers and friends of the Freeman's Journal for the maintenance of lamp. In order to despatch this sum he waits only to know to the order of whose name a draft is to be made out on Paris. He asks to be told soon and hopes that le Paray is not a victim of the unhappy "Union General". He asks that he and his contributing friends be remembered at the shrine "ad cor Jesus S. surum." Postscript He asks to be pardoned for his bad French. He has scarcely written at all in the last thirty years, and if Verney can read English. — Easter duty is made by more English speaking people than by the speakers of any other language on earth — McMaster will be delighted to use his own language in writing to Verney and to read Verney's in French. He asks to be pardoned his freedom. :: I-2-a A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
