Sister Mary Gabriel, Prioress of the Carmelites of St. Louis, asks McMaster to publish some sort of an article announcing the fact that they are trying to raise money to found a new Carmelite Convent in St. Louis. The order is trying to raise money by giving a bazaar but have met only mediocre success thus far. She encloses 2 bazaar tickets. She says that the Editor of the Ave Maria, has mentioned them in an article and that they would pay McMaster to do the same. They have been in their house in St. Louis for 12 years. The house has been lent to them by a benefactor and they do no teaching but remain secluded in prayer and penance. The house is in Baden, Missouri near St. Louis. She feels sure that St. Louis will support them but states that the people know very little about them, their work, and their Order. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12 mo
