McGill, N. F., Bardstown, Kentucky, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1877 December 8
Scope and Contents
A subscriber to the Journal for more than a quarter of a century, McGill feels free to give his opinion on the paper. During that period it has been a most valuable organ for spreading true Catholic doctrine and for adding to the Catholic education of himself and his family. Catholics have no complaint against McMaster on any count. He admires McMaster's blunt way of calling political ideas by their proper names but believes that H. Simpson holds a mesmerizing influence over him. This one man seems to be the only one who sways McMaster to favoritism, so much so, that often McMaster can see no weakness in him at all. This is the one principal political weakness of McMaster. McGill is sorry to see such small response to the Indian Missions and predicts that the Indians, if given continual missionary help, will be more civilized in 50 years than the whites. He sends $3 as the subscription fee for John O'Bryan of Hunter Depot, Kentucky and also $7 for a continued subscription of his own. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 2pp. 4 to
