Margaret F. Sullivan sends a long article cut from a Chicago paper to McMaster. The article concerns the rising of a new Catholic poet, a Benedictine nun of Stone, Staffordshire, England, and the clipping is still enclosed in the letter. The remainder of the article is a treatise on religious poets of the past. Margaret Sullivan wishes McMaster to use the article in any way he sees fit in order to publicize a book of poems by this cloistered nun of England. Mrs. Sullivan believes she possesses the only copy of the book, entitled "Songs in the Night and Other Poems", in America, and believes an article by McMaster would prepare American Catholics for a favorable reception of the book and a better understanding of religious poetry. She will send him excerpts from the book which he may publish in the miscellany of the Freeman's Journal. The article enclosed also contains some excerpts taken at random. To establish some credentials for herself in the eyes of McMaster, Sullivan recalls an earlier poem, a prayer for cessation of the Civil War which she sent to him and he published. Since then she has been an editorial writer on one of the Chicago dailies and has written much on Catholic Literature. To her credit are: an article for the Universe of Cleveland, Ohio, frequent articles in the Catholic World, and the 8th article in the Catholic Quarterly Review for April 1876. Her name before marriage was Miss Buchanan, and she hopes that these identifications of her work will influence McMaster to publicize the book of poems in America. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
