Ryan has sent McMaster a communication regarding the observance of First Friday in St. Francis Xavier parish in Cincinnati. She is sorry that it did not reach him in time for the current issue of the Freeman's Journal, but she has been busy writing for some of the local daily papers. She applies for a position writing for the Journal on the strength on the article and considers herself competent to handle many sorts of correspondence he may require. She is thoroughly acquainted with the West and could write interesting articles and correspondence which would add interest to the already highly attractive newspaper. The papers for which she writes are infidels in tendencies and therefore she must make her articles indifferent by not mentioning God nor religion. It is a strain on her to write continually in such a Godless way but she can find no positions with Catholic publications. She finds it much easier to obtain employment on Protestant papers but asks his careful consideration of the merits of her article and her application. The enclosure is as follows, A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
