Mrs. Fergus sends McMaster $10 as mission dues to aid the Indian Missions. She will send in the names soon. She asks McMaster to inquire at the House of the Little Sisters of the Poor in order to see if they could establish a house in Evansville. She has at her disposal a lot 25 feet x 115 feet complete with a brick house of one and a half stories, in which they may be interested. The house is 4 blocks away from St. Mary's Church which is under the pastorate of Father F. Wiefhaus. There are now 3 churches in the city, 2 more than when McMaster last visited there. The citizens are liberal in supporting charity work and there would be much to do since many of the Catholic aged are placed in the County Home with no one to look after the welfare of their souls. When she visited there recently, Mrs. Fergus was attracted by a Catholic Irish man who was prostrated by paralysis. This man begged her to get him into the Catholic Hospital of the Sisters of Charity, and was heartbroken when he was told that they could not take cases of permanent or incurable diseases, since they had no room. The entire Home is cared for by Protestants and the Catholics there are only tended occasionally by Father F. McDermot, when he is called there. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
